Wordless Wednesday – Cinco’s Birthday

Guess who is turning 8!!!! My big kitty – Cinco. Since he is a rescue, we aren’t actually sure what day his birthday really is, but we estimate it to be some time in January.  Today seems like a great day to celebrate for him, don’t you think? We have made so many wonderful memories from the day we first adopted him until now. It is a tremendous blessing to have had Cinco in our lives for 8 whole years 🙂 (Sorry I’m so bad at this whole “wordless” thing!)

Cinco's 8th Birthday

We will be celebrating with him all day! Manna has already jump started the festivities by playing with Cinco in one of their favorite games – bat each other from hidden positions on a chair.

Cinco and Manna Playing

Manna on top of the chair, Cinco underneath. A very fun game indeed.

One day we’ll get a better kitchen table, but for now, we don’t really eat on it anyway. Manna had a couple of other great suggestions for the party too.  She might just be on to something 🙂 She told me that we had to bring out Cinco’s favorite treats, then she told me that Cinco said what he really wants for his birthday is a paper bag and a cardboard box to play with.  We might just be able to make that one happen! Manna is really good with gifts.

Playful Kitty Christmas Celebration!

Merry Christmas everyone! The day is finally here and it is time to enjoy the company of loved ones and open presents 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and celebrate with us. We’re going to let this party last until Friday when we come back with our regularly scheduled program. What will you find here today? The Playful Kitty Christmas card, a final Christmas song from Manna, a song done by me (Robin), a TV Christmas special, a fun kitty maze, and a link to the BlogPaws blog hop!

The Playful Kitty Christmas Card

For those who did not receive a card from us, here is what it looked like. I’m only showing panels from the inside because the other was blank and used to write personalized messages to those who received the cards in the mail.

Cats Wrapping Presents

It is already Christmas Eve! There is so much to do to get ready for the big day tomorrow; the presents need wrapping, there’s a party to attend, and the apartment needs a little cleaning (okay more than a little). With all  I have to do, I told the cats they are on their own to wrap the gifts they got Dave and me. In response, Cinco and Manna made a little “comic strip” to show everyone their present wrapping skills.

Christmas Celebration with Playful Kitty!

Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow for our Playful Kitty Christmas celebration! Christmas is one of our favorite holidays, so we had to put together something really special. For those of you who are fans of Manna’s Christmas carols, there should be one last one of those and perhaps a more serious attempt at a Christmas carol by me 🙂 Regularly scheduled programming will be continued on Friday.
