You see, today is the cats' birthday.
The only reason we know this is because we know the person that we got the cats from. We e-mailed her and she sent us the exact date and pictures of the day they were born. The girls have been talking about their birthday for several months and have been very excited to give them a birthday party. I think that this is a bit excessive for an animal, but I just could not burst the girls' excitement, so today we had a birthday party for Cassie and Chloe. They each got two new balls and "special" food.
I am sure they were very happy. You can tell by their expressions in the pictures...
Cassie "opening" presents.
Chloe "opening" presents. (Madeline likes to make them little "nests" around the house.)
Yummy, "special" food...(it stinks!)
On a side note, we recently discovered something quite funny about our cats...they are NOT girls...how did we miss this, you ask? The girl we got them from took them to the vet when they were 6 weeks old to make sure they were healthy. After that, we were told that the entire litter was female. So, we never bothered to check! I took them to the vet a few months ago to be "fixed" and the vet laughed at me telling me that we have the "butchest looking girl cats he has ever come across"...The kids think this is hilarious and have gotten use to the fact that their kitties are male. However, we haven't changed the names and probably won't. We have shortened them a bit to Cas and Chloe (not pronouncing the "e") in an attempt to be a bit more androgynous, but as the vet said, "It really doesn't matter after I take care of them, they'll be 'it' cats after today!"
If you are bored out of your mind, or you just love little kittens, you can follow this link to an on-line photo album sent to us from Charity, the owner of Cas and Chloe's mom, Monday. These are their baby pictures.

Oh, don't you just love little girls?
I still think that finding out Cas and Chloe are boys was priceless! What a funny turn of events. They really are sweet cats, unlike some we know. ;o) Happy birthday girls... I mean, boys! :)
PS - Thanks for letting me know about downtown Boerne! We'll have to check that out, along with Wimberley, and we'd also like to get back to Fredricksburg. Still waiting for BJ 4 - love to you!
Cats are so great.
They taste like chicken.
