Cat Picture - OC My son turns 18 today!

Post image

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💕

Picture

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.

I had a baby princess! Unfortunately, we found out at neutering that she was my baby prince, but the nickname has been hard to shift 😂

Is it possible to get them all in one picture? You should share it if you have one. :)

Lovely family. I lost my furry kid a couple of months ago after 16+ years. Thinking of adopting one or two now that I am fully remote. Happy for you!
