Aries was born in the early hours of the morning of April 2, 2007 in my bedroom closet. His mother was a pregnant stray who showed up at my house one day when I was 18 years old, and unexpectedly gave me the greatest gift. I’ve had him for exactly half of entire life and every day with him has been a blessing. Happy Birthday Aries!! Mom loves you so much💕
I'm going to join the party and share a picture of my best boy! His name was Jasper (but answered to Kitty). He was a stray I brought inside in college and lived to be ~21 years old! I lost him in 2022. I have so many pictures of him sleeping in random places. I miss my cuddle buddy so much.
So, he is legally an adult (at least in Europe). That sweet boy can run for office. I bet he would be better than all the politicians we currently have.
Sooo cute!!! I wish you both many more years together, and to make any moment meaningful and valuable. Thank you for being a good cat mom and for your kitty being a good kitty. Enjoy yourselves while you can!
The best advice I can give is regular vet visits! I’ve definitely made mistakes along the way, but catching things early can make a huge difference. If I could go back I would be more on top of his weight (he developed diabetes when he was 14) and his teeth (had to have an almost full mouth extraction at age 16). But other than that, and some kidney decline and arthritis that comes with age, he’s doing amazing!
So Cute, he looks like my orange boy who passed recently. I also had him from the time he was born. He was such a good boy and I miss him so very much.
Oh my goodness, he looks so much like our dearly departed boy Cork. Cork even had the same changes in his eyes toward his elder days. We miss that fella, Give your Aries some love for me!
Happy birbday Aries! May yoo continue living your best life for a long time yet. I'm servant to a 19 year old orange who will be 20 on 24 April. Senior gentlecats are the best! 😻😹😻😹
He is such a sweet boy. Can you please be so kind to share any feeding instructions? Like do you always give him the packaged cat food or something that’s homemade. I am asking because we have sweetest cats of age 2 and 1 and I want them to be healthy and have a long life.
Happiest of birthdays, mate! Aren't you just a sweet handsome orange creamsicle bubby! I love you & hope you have a wonderful day (but I bet your mum celebrates you every day of the year).
To Aries mum: thank you for sharing this lovely chap with us. He looks like a proper gent but I bet he plays like a crazy kitten still too (he is, after all, still an 🍊 lol). Hope you both enjoy your day!
That means he's reached adulthood which in cat law means he's now the rightful owner of the house and you should be evicted, move out and fence off for your life.
Awwww. His baby picture looks so much like my girl from when I was in college. She made it to 16 before we lost her. Give the birthday boy all the snuggles and pats he'll accept on my behalf!
It goes to show you how being raised in a healthy environment from birth leads to a long life.
My son passed away almost 3 weeks ago after 16 years. His first 4 months were really rough; fleas were biting him, and it was so hot he couldn't stay cool with his long hair.
He and his sister and brother were so small at 4 months I could fit all 3 in the palm of my hand :(
Unfortunately, my baby girl passed away 3 years ago, and my other boy passed away in 2003.
