allegra-15th-birthday

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! Today is my birthday! I’m 15 years old today!

Mom has a really hard time wrapping her mind around the fact that I’m a senior kitty. In human years, I’m 76. Hey, I’m older than Mom!

I have to admit, I have slowed down a little bit over the past year. I sleep more than I used to, and when I sleep, I sometimes sleep so deep that it can take a lot to wake me up. I know that freaks Mom out a little bit. But I still like to play, and I still sometimes get the zoomies and run through the house like I’m possessed, usually in the middle of the night. I don’t understand why Mom doesn’t think that’s cute.

I know Mom is having a bit of a hard time seeing some of the changes in me, but I think  I’ve aged well, if I do say so myself. The birthday photo at the top of this post was taken a couple of weeks ago. I was about 10 months old in the photo below. What do you think?

Mom says we’re not going to think about how old I am today. Instead, we’re going to celebrate my special day, and treasure every day that we have together. I’m sure Ruby will be celebrating with us in spirit, so we better make sure there’s tuna cake!

  1. Happy Belated birthday Allegra! Hope you have many more happy and healthy birthdays filled with love and joyful memories!
    All my best to both of you.

  2. Wishing you and your Mom many more happy and healthy years together! A very fun and happy birthday, Allegra! <3

  3. Many happy returns, Lady Allegra! As your mom knows, there’s no reason you can’t have several more birthdays ahead of you both.

    In the picture of you at ten months, I saw a face in love with life & with fun.

    In your birthday portrait, though I still see both of those qualities, I was struck by your regal bearing, which can only come about, I believe, with some degree of maturity.

    I hope that you & your mom can continue to enjoy each other’s lives without letting it be overshadowed by doubts as to length of time remaining. That wish, though not costly, is my gift to you on this, your fifteenth birthday! ❤ ❤

    All my Love to you Both,
