A Straw Hat Birthday for a SPECIAL Lady Cat!

Today is a most special day! It is Straw Hat Day , the day when all felt and warm hats should be put away, and the hats of summer (Straw Hats!) should be brought out to not only help you keep cool in the sun, but to make you LOOK "cool!!"

I decided to incorporate my "cool" look while celebrating the birthday of an IMMENSELY SPECIAL LADY CAT that I have known for years and years!!!  In fact, we go waaaay back! I have made a number of appearances on her blog and she has done the same on mine!

I have watched her date countless mancats, but always, she would return to the "Codester" for some fun and the comfort of my reassuring paws.

Today, this special lady cat is turning 18, a truly special birthday indeed! I'm heading over to wish her a Happy Birthday and you should too!  Click here to visit!

Happy, Happy Birthday to 

Nellie!!

Wishing you many, many more!!

Much love from,

Cody

    Nellie Bellie is one special lady for sure.....she's touched all of our hearts at some point and has given her heart to Merlin now....lucky guy. She's an inspiration to us all as to how to love our lives into our senior years with a smile in our hearts.

    Hugs, Sammy

    You are one stylish Cody!
    We (and our human) thank you for your warm kind words on the sudden passing of our 19-year-old Tanya. It is comforting to know that you care and love animals just as much.
    Purrs, headbutts and hugs.
