Happy Birthday Riley!

5 years ago today, Nathan and I rescued our cat, Riley. A co-worker found the eight kittens abandoned at a cemetery, and brought them all into work and found homes for each kitten. Riley was the runt of the litter, and one of the two out of the eight kittens who survived. I fell in love with him at first sight, obviously, and Nathan did too, so we brought him home with us!

When we brought Riley home, we didn't have any cat toys etc., but we did have a little plush turtle, so that was his first "toy" and since then, it has been his security blanket. He always has his turtle with him.

Now, here he is five years later:

Riley really is our furbaby. He is a part of our family and we absolutely adore him. We consider October 13th to be his Birthday. We bought Riley a couple of gifts and some special cat food to "celebrate" his Birthday:

Here are some pics of his little Birthday celebration from this morning:

A delicious dish of soft cat food, with a candle (never lit):

Riley absolutely loved it all!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!!!!
