Happy Birthday, Christmas!

Hello. My name is Christmas and today I am one year old. Yep, just one year ago today my cat momma had me C-section. It only cost my people momma $330.00. Of course, some of that was for my brother and sister, so if you average it out, we only cost $130.00 each. That's not bad, right? (Why does my people momma choke whenever I say that?) I was born no bigger than my people momma's thumb. I was pink and shivering and had no hair. The vet said I wouldn't live. Funny, I look pretty healthy, don't I? My left rear leg isn't very strong. I have a little problem with my balance and sometimes I just tip over for no reason. I can still run and play, but I don't jump as well as other cats. My people momma loves me anyway. You may pay homage and sing Happy Birthday to me.

Jackie -- even with the sound tured off I heard you clearly. I believe it is seared into my brain ... but it sounds like love.

Pauline -- I love your version of the birthday song. I sang it for Christmas -- she took it as her due.

Brian -- Chrissy appreciates the rap.

Rob -- I do love my Chrissy. She loves to cuddle and purr.

Dr. John -- Chrissy seems to think my singing is wonderful, so she'd probably be truly happy with yours.

Nessa -- a butterfly bowing to a cat. Now that's a sweet picture.

Sar -- now that you mention it, it does kind of look like a Christmas tree, doesn't it?

Happy birthday, Christmas. That's a great looking cat. Even from a dog's perspective.

Wow, what a helathy beuaty to behold. long live...

ok, I overdid it, didn´t I?

I have to second Sar, when I saw your cat´s name I thought it is called Christmas because of teh tree on its nose. Until I figured the date :) I am quite slow, I just hope you admire that as much in humans as you do in cats :)

zingtrail -- thank you and Happy New Year to you.

Doug -- wallet-section; and Chrissy acknowledges her beauty, thank you.

Kat -- the vet allowed me to make two payments. He was really nice.

Bill -- all her birthday present money was spent the day she was born.

Minka -- Chrissy says you are not over doing it and by all means, continue.

Lori -- Chrissy got so excited over the special canned cat food, a very rare treat, that she fell into it face first. Fluffy helped her clean up.

Oh what a sweetie, I have a soft spot for kitties, and especially ones who have gotten a rough start. I have a tendency to gravitate towards things that need extra care. The mothering instint I suppose. Anyway it looks like you did a fine job, she is a beauty...

Happy Birthday Chrissy.....mas....
