The boys are resting up for their big transition to being CATS, not kittens, but CATS, on Friday

They will be 1 year old. The interesting thing is, I found Madoc and his siblings on August 8, last year, and the vet said they were 4 weeks old. So, we assigned July 8 as their birthday. When I received Gryff from the very generous vet, the paperwork stated his birthday was July 8. Now, what are the odds of that?

Anyway, I snapped this pic in case they don't cooperate on Friday.

They will definitely get extra treats.

The odds of me getting them to pose wearing party hats, well, I've got a better chance of convincing George Clooney to leave his wife, kids and Italy and move to my house in Michigan. But that's not to say I won't try. The party hat pic, that is.

I couldn't get an exact birth date for Ember from the woman who had Ember's mother. All she said was that Ember was around 9 weeks old.

That was in December, about a week and a half before Christmas. So I figured that Ember was born in mid October. My birthday is in mid October, so Ember and I celebrate together. (Neither one of us wears a hat.)

I honestly can't believe how big he's gotten, considering with a tiny little guy he was when I first brought him in.

Looks like Arthur will be, too, when he is grown.

You've got 3 handsome, healthy guys to enjoy and be proud of. Good work, kitty mom.

Not knowing the exact date of Luna's birth... but knowing the "thereabouts"... I've assigned him as a "May Day" kitten. And he does possess a true Taurus personality! Just push on thru, head first, like a bull in a china shop! (LOL)

Your guys are so beautiful at a year old. I hope Luna turns out to be half as gorgeous as they've turned out. You're so very, very lucky!!!

I think he will be slightly longer haired than his big brothers. Fortunately, he doesn't mind me brushing him.
