Our Sweet 16 Geriatric


Princess Pukes-A-Lot is usually nothing like Grumpy Cat – even when she's puking up hair balls or pooping up a pile in the basement. But on the other hand, she often is on her birthday.

The problem with having your birthday on September 1 is that you don't get your moment in the spotlight. You're upstaged on social media by all those back-to-school photos!

So today she ignored the fact that it was her Sweet 16 birthday. Do you know what that is in cat years? 80 years old! Not sure how the formula works, but that's the age her mind and body are... even though the vet consistently tells us she's as healthy as a kitten. 

And she has the sass for it. Today, she ignored our birthday singing and scratching and snuggling. (Well, mine anyway.)


"I'm an octo-genarian and too old for this crap. Let me take a nap!"

As usual, she gets her way. I guess that's what keeps her young. Wonder if it's too late for me.

Happy birthday, Sylvester aka Sly aka Princess Pukes-a-Lot aka Princess Poops-a-Lot aka Pretty Girl!
