Before moving, I uncovered evidence that Chris was older than I thought when we adopted him. I posted about it here in January. I found a folder with 3/10/09 printed on it. Since he was at another shelter before the shelter we adopted him from, I assume that is his real birthday or at least an estimated birthday.
I had assumed he was six months old when we adopted him, so I had been celebrating his birthday on May 14, but I will need to adjust that, not that it matters much at this point. If I had remembered, I would have written a nice post about him last Monday. I hope I remember next year.


Cute photo of him. My cat Taffy they just picked a day and year on her too at the shelter.
I’m sure there is a lot of guessing.
It’s hard to determine a birthday when they’re adopted from a shelter. I usually celebrate the adoption date. Happy Heavenly Birthday to Chris.
Thanks.
That’s a sweet photo of Chris…… ❤
Hugs, Pam
He was a cutie.
Any day is a good day to celebrate one’s arrival … so happy then or now or whenever!
That’s true.
He looks so sweet. Love the tail
🙂
dee mum always furgets my birthday!!!!
I do that a lot too
I guess he deserves two birthdays then, like our monarchy! More birthdays means more treats, for sure.
You all have a wonderful and safe week.

Thanks, Erin.
Or ypu could give him a ‘real’ birthday and an un-birthday, LOL! The main thing is the fact that he has a true and very real Gotcha Day!
That’s the important day.
I miss Chris. He was a sweet boy.
Thanks. He was beyond special.
He was a super handsome birthday boy.
Yes, thanks. He was a good looking boy.
To make it easy, if one of our cats was a spring kitten, we give it the birthday of May 1, and if an autumn kitten, October 1. Since we’ll never really know anyway, it works for us.
The cats don’t care. They’re just happy to get extra treats. 🙂
Chris is probably very much like the cats who reside here, and he probably believed that EVERYDAY should have been celebrated as his birthday! Marvelous, Kozmo and Jo get birthdays about 5 times a year – just because! Keep being AWESOME! Mom Barb
No doubt. 🙂
