It’s Peaches’ 100th Birthday!

The big day is finally here!

And did I ever think I’d make it this long? Honestly, I never really thought about it! I can tell you from experience that we animals never really worry about these things as humans do, but that we are glad for every day we are here.

Especially when we’ve got wonderful parents like my mom, and a world full of friends, near and far away!

I’ve got a big box ready for all my gifts!

Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes and the get well wishes as my mom and I continue to work with my kidney failure (and what a birthday gift I’ll get later today—another 100cc of fluids), and I hope we’ve given many other cats and their people the idea that living to 100 is not only entirely possible but not all that uncommon anymore. Little health issues may be troublesome as the years go on, but we’ve provided information on those so you know what to expect.

And the point I find most important is that older pets need homes too, so don’t be afraid to adopt us just because we’re old! My mom took me in at age 15, and I’m still going strong at 20, and my brother Stanley in this house lived to be about 25! With animal health care getting better all the time and all the information available to pet parents these days, any one of us could live a long and healthy life.

Now, mom, bring on the salmon pate!

There’s still time to bid on the print!

Whoever has the highest bid by that time wins the print with all proceeds going directly to FosterCat, so you get to make a tax-deductible donation to a worthy feline rescue organization AND you get a piece of artwork as a thank you!

  • Thank you for visiting all the way from the UK! And what a lovely, moving story about Angel on your blog. I see you did much of the same for her. Our girls are lucky, and so should all older kitties. Keep in touch so we can all share stories!

  • Thanks to all my friends, humans and animals alike! Naps and salmon pate all day with the windows open and nice breezes and sunshine. I had one or two of the kids as attendants all day long, curled near me or escorting me upstairs or downstairs or to the water bowl. Lots of pets and hugs and kisses from my mom too. What kitty could ask for more? Even the dose of fluids were pretty nice! This has all been very exciting for a senior kitty like me!

  • Happy Birthday to you Peaches! Thank you for mentioning the important point of giving an older cat a home, as they are in as much a need as cute little kittens. Congrats!!

  • Peaches, what an important day this is for you! My four kitties and I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday. Guess what – it’s THEIR birthday,too! Today they are 12 years old. I can only hope I’ll get to share as many happy years with them as you’ve shared with your Mom.

    Have a wonderful day, Peaches – and I hope you get a special treat to go with the 100cc if fluids!

    Hugs,
    Chris, Dickens, Pippen, Molly & Star
