you are an animal.

One year ago today we brought a shy and scared little boy home from the shelter (remember?). It’s been a whole year. 365 days that I’ve woken up to this little face and I couldn’t ask for anything more. He’s a precious, perfect boy and he deserves all the happiness in the world.  Happy one year, Birdie, and here’s to many, many more! Now time for a catnip party!

He’s only lived with me for two weeks and we are still getting to know one another, but I’m so madly in love. Bird was a stray kitten brought to a shelter outside of Seattle.  He was so timid and scared at the shelter that he was not considered adoptable, and was going to be killed.  Luckily someone got him to the Seattle Persian and Himalayan Rescue, where fate (or all the time i spend on petfinder) brought us together. He’s sweet and shy but he loves attention and purrs endlessly.  When we got him, he didn’t even have the confidence to walk around.  He does something amazing and new everyday.  He’s becoming comfortable in our bed.  He rolls around and sneaks closer to you as you pet him.  He had a sad look in his eyes that is becoming replaced with kittenish curiosity.  Bird, darling, you are adored.
