What were you doing back in 1988?
If you're a non-human animal like me, chances are you weren't even born. I was still 12 years away from making my appearance in the world.
But this week my good friend Miss Lucy, the Grand Matriarch of West Hobart, celebrated her twenty-third birthday! Her mum, Sue, held a lovely afternoon tea in Lucy's honour, which Kate and little Alex attended. Here are some photos of Lucy from that day:
She's in pretty great shape, for an *ahem* older lady. Like me, she's on a special kidney diet. She's also on blood pressure tablets, and is stone deaf, but she's still got a great quality of life, and is very well loved.
Lucy started her life as a rescue kitty. I'm sad to tell you that her kitten siblings were flushed down the toilet because homes were not found for them. Thank goodness that Lucy found the perfect forever home!
Happy birthday, grand old girl! And many, many more.
Cheers,

Wow, Lucy...! 23 is amazing! We hope she still has at least a few years of quality life left! Happy birthday!
On my - TWENTY THREE????? That's amazing! I thought you were talking about a human and got a little confused because 23 is quite a young age for humans.
Pabs, I have some degree of kidney dysfunction as well. I guess you'd get that as you get old. I am at least 13, after all. OK, not quite 23.
I do hope we will get well together.
23! Wow that is amazing! Happy birthday Lucy.
Happy Birthday, Lucy! What a remarkable ladycat you are. We hope you enjoyed your party :)

And we hope you are doing well, Pabs!
Happy 23rd Birthday, Miss Lucy! We hope you had an enjoyable day filled with treats and scritches.
Wow! Lucy is an amazing lady cat. What an honor that Kate and Nick were invited to the big event.
23 years? WOW! Lucy, you don't look a a day over 15! We hope you enjoyed your day, and got a whole lot of cuddles and pets.
Pabs, how are you doing these days? Better, we all hope.
