My First Gotcha Day -- Party On the Blog!

UPDATE: My precious Mickeybear is having a parade of guests on his blog to help me celebrate my Gotcha Day! Isn't that just wonderful? Go to his blog and see! I am so excited -- thank you, darling Bear!



Thanks so much to Maggy and Zoey at Zoolatry for the beautiful photo-portrait!

Welcome, everyone, to my Gotcha Day Party! Please make yourselves comfortable.

It's hard to believe I've already been in my Forever Home for a whole year, but at the same time, it feels as though I've always been here. A paradox? Yes, but a lovely one *smile*. I'm a lucky kitty girl to have found my Mom and Dad and to have my wonderful siblings. They love me so much, and I love them.

What a year it's been -- I've learned and experienced so much. I adjusted to a muti-cat home, I became a blogging kitty, I met and fell head-over-heels in love with my darling Mickeybear, and we became not only a happy, loving kitty couple but a dynamic poetic duo! *smile*

The party will last all twenty-four hours of December 1 -- come and go as you can, and enjoy the delectable spread: I've made my special-recipe tuna puffs, and there's fresh catnip, pet grass for cats and bunnies, treats for woofies, plenty of stinky goodness and, of course, Temptations. My darling sister Miss Peachy is bringing delicious, delectable sushi for an extra-special treat! There's chicken, turkey, ham, lobster, tuna, salmon, and shrimp! And last but not least... niptinis mixed with primo 'nip.



So everyone... please enjoy my party and have fun. We can play Box Wars, Tent Wars, Walk on the Ceiling, Chase the Red Dot, and Thundering Herd of Elephants! Mao might start a burping contest. Then we can snooze in giant, snuggly cat heaps when we get tired. Eat, drink, play, nap, burp, whatever and whichever strikes your fancy, and above all, be merry! Thank you so much for coming. I love you all.

Check out the beautiful white flower Mickey gave me -- it opened right around the time of my Gotcha Day! Isn't that amazing? Thank you, my sweet, romantic mancat!



And look, Mickeybear... for my Gotcha Day, I'm wearing the beautiful red gown you got me *happy blush*.

Oh, Marilyn, I just saw where you had 200 hundred snuggles on your first gotcha day! Woooeeee.

I just came back to tell you that Mike and I had to leave in a hurry. My pa bean came home from the hospital. So mom bean was pretty busy getting him settled. Mike and I had to make sure she did things right...you know how beans are.

I'm so happy you had such a wonderful day and so many friends came to visit. You deserve it.

I'll come by and visit again soon, things might be pretty busy around my house for a few days yet.

Warm, happy hugs to the sweetest friend in catdom...BFSC....G

My precious BFSC, my heart is overflowing with joy at the news that your Pa Bean is coming home! YIPPEE! My mom and we Ballicai have been thinking about him all day, and purring and purring... such great news! I am sure you'll be very busy welcoming him home and giving him lots of snuggles!

Thank you so much for your sweet Gotcha Day wishes -- it has been such a fabulous day and a great party -- such a great bash to wind up one happy year, and to begin another! I am a lucky girl. *smile*

Big happy hugs to you, my sweet BFSC, and a heart full of love! You are so special to me, sweet dear.

Happy gotcha day Marilyn! I'm sorry I missed your party. Mom was out most of the day spending lots of green papers.

What a great party! You looked lovely and were a great hostess! I do hope that you weren't put out by my refusal to participate in the burping contest, though. We bunnies can't burp. ~Tidbit

Hi, Tidbit! I'm so happy to see you, dear. *smile* And no, I don't blame you for passing on the burping contest -- I don't burp in public... I'm kind of an old-fashioned girlcat. But *whew*, my sister Dorydoo... she's a youngster, not so traditional, and my oh my, I never knew she could burp so loudly!

Have some pet grass, my bunny friend! You look beautiful! And thank you so much for coming.

MISS PEACH ~(^.^)~ said...

Oh my dearest sister....sorry I am so late! Is Mickey gone on home? Course he is dear mancat...I tired him out then left for home. I hope he got to dance with some of the nice kitties while I was away at least. Well lets see here....I just dropped in to see what condition your condition was in....hummm didn't they write a song like that back in the day? Kelly would know it I am sure! So Ben Fuzz came to see you, isn't that wonderful! I missed him! well I better collect my empty sushie platter, straighten the sofe pillows and head back home. Mommy is waiting to tuck me in.

Darling sister, thank you so much for helping me tidy up, and *giggle* that you fell asleep! I am feeling mighty groggy myself and plan on taking a huge nap today. Thank you for helping to make my Gotcha Day so special and wonderful -- you are such a blessing to me, dear heart!

Monty! *laughing* What a fabulous burp. And those niptinis are mighty strong!

Sorry I missed your party, Marilyn - we had a people party at my place that day, and I was in hibernation. I would have done really well in Mao's burpin kontest, though!
