(well I will be on the 26th as he is just 3 weeks older than me). Time does fly so quickly by. 
I made him a card with a cat on as he loves our cat Velcro so much and this cat that I found to use looks so much like him that I couldn't resist using it.
Velcro was 16 a few weeks ago and our other cats that live next door and have done for many years (they were catnapped). The lure of fresh wet fish daily was too much for them to resist.
Teddy is 19. he is a good age for a cat and Vicky (velcro's mother) is coming up 18 so they are both doing well. I hope Velcro lives as long but he is a big fat cat and is certainly slowing down now and showing his age. Our other cats lived to about 16 but Velcro is our last. He was born here in this house in a second litter to Vicky only 1 of 2 kittens. her first litter had four who all had good homes to go to and were actually born in our bed one early morning.
