Can you believe I’m one year old already? Where does the time fly? Between cat shows and my human’s working on Rescued (the Kindle version just came out!), we’ve been too busy for a big birthday bash — but don’t worry, there is still going to be an awesome Cat World Domination Day in June!
I did have a special birthday meal — my favorite chicken cat food sprinkled with freeze dried chicken (eat your heart out, Ashton!). It was awesome!
She also got me this Hello Kitty Beanie… at least that’s what she said. Do you think she got it for me or for herself? Your guess is probably the same as mine! But it doesn’t matter because I didn’t want any presents for my birthday, really. I already have a house full of toys, playmates and more cat show ribbons than I could ever chew through!
I did ask for one thing, however — for my human to hold a birthday commenthon to benefit Southern California Abyssinian (and Somali) Rescue. Just because Abys and Somalis come from a breeder, sometimes we wind up in trouble — and even in kill shelters! The worst nightmare a breeder has, in fact, is that a kitten she lovingly raised winds up being cruelly treated or dumped… and even though nearly all responsible breeders have a clause requesting the kitten or cat’s return if things don’t work out, sometimes people ignore this and just get rid of a cat that has been an “inconvenience.” S.C.A.R. helps Abys, Aby mixes, and Somalis in need and gets homes for them — and they could always use donations. So my human will be donating 50 cents per comment, up to $50. Please make my birthday wish come true, for my commenthon to hit its goal!
P.S. If you want to see Sparkle’s first birthday, it’s at this blog post.
Happy 1st Birthday, Summer!! Breed specific rescues are as important as regular rescues, and we are glad that your human is supporting the Aby and Somali rescue. 🙂
Happy birthday, Summer! You are such a wonderful girl.
hope your birthday wish will come true 🙂
Today also would have been Butler Prettycat’s birthday if he had survived. His littermate sister Parker, who is sitting at the other end of the desk from my computer washing her paws, has her birthday tomorrow.
Happy birthday, beautiful Summer!!! And thank you to Summer’s human for helping Abbys in need. 🙂
Faraday: *deep breath* HAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPY BIIIIIIIIIIIIIRFD—- mmmpf!
Allie: You’re welcome.
Maxwell: wishing you the best first birthday ever!
Happy Birthday! I hope you get lots of comments for your commentathon.
You’re just as cute now as you were as a kitten.
Happy 1st Birthday Summer! You can drink Niptinis now and attend big girl pawties like SciFiPawty on Twitter. At least you didn’t have to wear that I’m 1 ribbon like Sparkle did and no one called you a squirrel. TW says those Hello Kitty stuffies cost a lot. I bet you could have gotten some really good noms instead.
A very Happy Birthday to you dearest Summer.You are a young lady now.I’m so glad you got your favourite chicken and yes the human did get the beanie for herself!!Lots of love and purrsXXXX
Happy Birthday sweetie. We can’t believe you are a year old already. We are happy we were able to celebrate with you.
Happy First Birthday Summer! Enjoy your special day sweetie.

Happy birthday, Summer. We have three (rescued) cats of our own. The youngest, Arata, who is actually my daughter’s cat, just turned one a couple of months ago. Birthdays are always a good thing.
Happy birthday, Summer!
You’re one already?? Wow, that went fast! Hope it’s a great day, and I hope you reach the $50!
Happy Happy Birthday Sweet Summer!!!! A year already!! WOW!! Hope you have a happy treat-filled day!!!!! xoxo
May the joy and all the love you inspire in both me and my human come back to you in a spiritual blessed catnip bouquet today!

And yeah, that skull and crossbones definitely gives away who that Hello Kitty was really meant for…
Happy Birthday Dearest Summer! One year old – what a magical time that is – still a baby but also in many ways all grown up…..you’re doing shows and winning ribbons and getting more beautiful every single day. You are going to have such a magical life……and I’m happy to be your friend…….I hope the commentathon is a HUGE success but most of all I hope you have a really FABULOUS birthday!

Hyvää syntymäpäivää! That’s happy birthday in Finnish for you. We cannot believe you are 1 year old already – time has just flown by (maybe something to do with our Mesi being the same age as you). We congratulate you on all you have done in the last few months since taking over the blog; you have been a very busy girl and are also always working for good causes. This commentathon is fantastic and the cause very deserving.
Happy, happy birthday, sweet Summer! You have a lifetime of awesomeness ahead of you and we are so fortunate to know you 🙂
