Happy Birthday to Curry Cat!

"It was my birthday yesterday.  I'm seven years old.  They tell me that's a lucky number, so I'll take it.  Actually, I don't care much about birthdays.  I'm a cat.  Every day is MY day.  But it seems that you humans like to commemorate these special 'milestones' in your lives, and also in ours.  So, I took the liberty to act very 'entitled' all day yesterday so mom would know that I knew that it was my birthday, and to encourage her to give me some special treatment.  Why not? 



So the day started with a can of cat food.  That is a special treat.  Usually we get dry food throughout the week and a can on Saturdays.  Well, this week we got our usual Saturday can and also a can for my birthday on Sunday.  That was a good start to the day.  My brothers were a little bit nicer to me than usual, so that was also good.  And in the evening mom gave me my gift from Christine.  It's a wooden tube with a mouse that hangs inside.  When the tube rolls, the mouse squeaks.  We all liked the squeaky sound and this kept our attention for a while.  But we weren't really sure why we were supposed to be entertained by the tube rolling around.  Don't get me wrong, it was a good gift and we spent lots of time checking it out, as you can see in the video above.  But we cats don't always play with things the way you humans expect us to. 

All in all, it was a pretty good birthday, with mom home for most of the day to pay attention to me.  Of course, mom had to capture the playtime in video.  Honestly, it's kind of a mundane video of us cats playing, but go ahead and take a look.  I posed for the camera on several occasions so you can see my beautiful blue eyes.  I had to make sure you knew that it was MY birthday!  If you are easily annoyed, you may want to put your speakers on mute, because mom insisted upon looping this annoying birthday song (Willie got the Beatles, and I get this??).  Well, listen to it once so you can hear what I mean, then go ahead and mute it.  Trust me, you'll want to.  So that's it for today...happy birthday to me!"
