Who's celebrating Milo's and my sixth anniversary, besides us, of course?

Six years ago today, Milo arrived in his sedan chair, carried by his then-slaves, with huge amounts of luggage and accoutrements. I was a very reluctant first-time cat owner, as most of you will remember. After a rocky beginning and some excellent couples’ therapy however, we have been happy and able to purr along really nicely.

Looking back, he’s the one with four knees and I got to have knee surgery; he’s a lot smaller and still gets to be the boss; he gets all the royalty checks and I had all the good ideas. Why is life so unfair?

Please send all gifts to my attention only, please This year the 8/12×11” signed glossy will be of me and not that attention-hogging 13 lb. fluff ball with the sharp nails.

(MIlo here; Boy, is she not aging well.)

Have the catnip brownies and smoked mouse arrived?

Gail here; If they did, I certainly haven’t seen them!

(Milo here; Really delicious, thank you, Seek. Next time just a tad more fresh dill on the mouse, though.)

I have ordered bright sunbeams to enlighten and warm Milo’s napping areas especially for today.

Milo here; No one but me noticed that Gail misspelled “complaisant”?

Wow. It’s been that long? Crazy. And think how long you spent without the honor of having the company of a cat. Lucky you.

Frodo here: @Milo – Hope she treats you better than my friendbeast treats me! I’m thinking of breaking up with her.

Milo here: @Frodo; Just make sure she has a signed and witnessed will leaving you as sole beneficiary before you do any kind of “breaking up.”

Congratulations! Surrounded by three dogs right now. If you need a break from the festivities, Milo, you are welcome to come over and terrorize them within reason.

^^ What’s for dinner?

Nothing, apparently. My fridge is empty. Can I interest you in some kibble? Also, one of the dogs is extremely small…

Congratulations you crazy kids. Still together after all these years. Love to you both.
