On May 19 I became a grandfather! A baby girl who has already stolen granddads heart.

My warmest congratulations! May she be healthy, happy and a lovely person.

I agree with that wish, 51nikopol. Yet she already started off morally bad by being a thief ;-)

Thank you, GR! Duke Ellington (my cat) was probably born in early may based on how old he was when he was originally adopted. (I only have this info because he was surrendered back to the same rescue that adopted him out.) However because Douglas Adams is cooler than Star Wars, his observed birthday is on the 25th for Towel Day.

The birthday cake that has always been his favorite is one can of tuna cat food pate with bonito flakes (obtainable at any Asian market) as a crumb coating. Unfortunately bonito flakes are going to be a bit too rich with the kidney disease, so I'll have to come up with something else.

Do you play the film for your cat on their special day? If not, maybe you should :}

I don't know if I've mentioned this. My cat is very appropriately named as he actually prefers music concerts and singing competition shows over other types of programming. He just finished the current seasons of American Idol and The Voice. I also have some episodes of Austin City Limits (which is various concerts) for him. He doesn't show any genre preference - just that the music is good.

Oh and you really have to be careful with cats as to what you have on the television. We discovered by accident by turning on the tv and ignoring it for hours that one of the cats really liked soap operas.

That's so cute...it's like plants(liking music).

As for the film, they might like the intro at least.
It has that delightfully catchy(and cat themed) "So long and thanks for all the fish".

Which is their favorite soap opera, I wonder...One Lick to Love, All my Kittens, or General Purrspital? ;)
