TODAY I'M TEN YES 10!!!

Yes it is true, I,  Madison the Diva Island Princess Cat,
am double nickles, or as Dad likes to say, I've entered my double digit years.
I would like to thank Squirrel Queen, Mom to my girl pal 
Miss Cindi Lou, The Kitty Krew for this birthday button
FIRST THINGS FIRST...FOODABLES
 FELINE BUFFET: Fancy Feast, Whiskas, Temptations or Natural Sensations, all ready to eat.
K9 BUFFET: BURGERS, PORK CHOPS, CHICKEN.
DAD HAS AGREED TO COOK YOUR MEAT TO YOUR
LIKING. BUTTER BEANS  'CAUSE SOME OF MY GIRLFRIENDS ARE WATCHING THEIR WAIST LINE.

I'm happy to report my good buddy Remington is on the mend after his terrible tummy ache yesterday.  I asked Mom to have some tummy friendly items for him. Rem have some Cherrios for  strength and Greek Yogurt to coat your tummy.

 Grab a party hat, find a comfy spot.  This is My Life, produced and narrated by Mom, mainly because I don't remember a lot of things from the early years.
  In  late 2001 Mom, Dad and my Uncle G all decided it was time for them to get a new forever kitty. They all had kitties who had  traveled to the Bridge several years before. On May 11, 2002, which happened to be the Saturday before Mother's day, they traveled together to look for that special kitty. Lo and behold they happened upon a cage labeled Kitty L and M who were litter mates. Born on March 11, 2002.
OMC were we happy when we were selected.
Below is a picture taken of me, Madi, and Lucy @ 2 months old
in Uncle G's living room.

As you can see from this picture, taken on May 31, 2002
Mom put me to work folding laundry 

 Which turned out to be a very exhausting chore.

 At 3 months of age, I demanded a proper bed, royal blue, for the Diva I was about to become
 Often I had to take charge of my foodables by pointing out
exactly what my taste buds required and not a bit shy about stating my likes and dislikes.  
Caption: What do you mean I'm not supposed to be in the fridge?
Here I am at 6.5 months old and have nearly doubled in size
and Cat-i-tude. I've been a counter surfer from day one!
This is our old kitchen w/o much counter space but that didn't matter to me. It was my job to snoopervise all food prep. Mom just had to move to the other side of the sink to slice, dice and chop.

 Fast forward...I'm  9 months old.  I'm trying without much success, to get my Aunt Cali, my human sister's kitty, to acknowledge my cute fact of 100.   By the time I arrived  took over the house, Dowager Cali was dealing with lots of health issues.  She didn't live with us but she spent lots of weekends with us. She liked me ok as long as I didn't get in her face or try to critique her use of  the litter box.   I was curious about her methods!! MOL
 Another picture of our old kitchen (I was 5 years old)...which I actually thought the best kitchen ever.  I could rocket from the counter up to the tops of the cabinets.  All the cabinets connected around the kitchen. I loved walking around them.  It was a built in cat walk....But woe with me in 2006  the peeps decided to have the the entire kitchen demolished. It wasn't all bad though I stayed with my grandpeeps for a month.  Mom said I was very confused when I jumped on the counter only to find the new cabinets were different heights and too high.

Mom prepared this collage of some of her favorite pictures since we've been blogging 3 years ago.
Last but not least, please remember to get your party treat bag labelled, Feline/K9.  If you cannot read, the felines get one with a red ribbon, K9s one with an orange ribbon.  If you don't yet know your colors, well you'll just have to sniff until something appeals to you.
MOL 

Thank you all for being my friend, for welcoming us into your 
feline and K9 hearts.  You are all like family and we love you lots.
Hugs
Madi and Mom

  3. Madi, I am so excited and I think I am the first doggy to arrive. I am going to dig right in to the burgers if you don't mind, but not too much as I want to keep my figure for Remington. I am so happy and I know you are too that he is on the mend. We can relax now and pay all attentions to you, which is just how is should be. What a wonderful story and what a beautiful kitty you have always been. I have a small gift on my blog, not much, but it comes from the heart. I love you Madi and now its party time!!! I love party treat bags, I can't wait to see what is in it. Happy Birthday Madi

    Loveys Sasha

  5. Happy Birthday Madi! I hadn't realized when I sent you that mouse present that your birthday would be coming up so soon, so I am glad I was able to give you a surprise birthday present early. I think you still play like a kitten for a diva of you age. Here's to 10 more years!

    Happy Birthday Dear Madi,
    From All of Us to You!

    We loved seeing all your kitten pictures, you were a cutie (and still are). Mom laughed and said 'how precious' when she saw the refrigerator photo. Looks like everyone is starting to arrive so we'll grab some snacks and mingle.

    Sissi Cat here, Spooky is too shy to ask but he really wants to dance with you.

    Hugs,

  15. Hello Gorgeous! Happy Birthday Madi!! Now, let me just grab a pork chop with a side of fancy feast (don't tell anyone) and take a looksie at all these adorable pictures! Love those pictures of you on the counters and above the counters. That's the one thing I miss out on as a dog. As a younger dog, I was able to jump up on the bed, but now, sigh, I have to be lifted up. Maybe I should start demanding my assistant lift me up on the kitchen counter - do you think she would fall for it?

    OK, better circulate. Can I maybe have a combo bag? You know I like some cat treats and cat nip, too!

    Your pal, Pip

  16. Happy Birthday to our sweetest kitty pal, Madi!!! Thanks for letting us share your special day. Your dad is a great cook, we have sampled a bit of everything. Burgers are super, but we love pork chops and chicken too.

    Mom did a great job telling the story of your life - so we see you have been a very privileged kitty for your entire life:) What an adorable little one you were! No surprise to see how beautiful you are now.

    Enjoy your day!
