Would you believe it - Mum forgot my Gotcha Day!
Yes, the most important day for us both and she forgot, only remembered on Thursday.
My Gotcha Day is on 21st of July 2011, when Mum adopted from the amazing WoodGreen Pets Charity.
But I won't hold it against my poor Mum for forgetting as she is currently so overwhelmed with caring for Granny.
However, we are only a few days late so we've created this beautiful Caturday Art for our Gotcha Day celebration.
This is our favourite artsy version, created with the BeFunky effect Impressionist Soft GFX+
My birthday, according to Wood Green Pets Charity where I was rescued, is 7th May. So today, for Caturday Art, I am sharing this lovely card Mum made for me.
The first is the original photo with added BeFunky birthday graphics.
The next are artyfied versions.
This one is Crayon GFX.
The next is Vector Pop GFX
And the third artsy version is Modern Gouache GFX+
According to the amazing animal shelter where Mum adopted me, Woodgreen Pets Charity, it's my 14th birthday on 7th May. I was found abandoned as a tiny kitten in someone's garden in 2011 and got rescued and taken to the shelter until Mum came along to take me to my forever home.
Here I am chilling out this easy Sunday, hoping tonight's fireworks for Bonfire Night, which actually falls on Tuesday 5th November, aren't too loud.
It's impossible I know.
Fireworks don't bother me much to be honest, unless they're being fired off by our neighbours. That's too close for comfort.
Mum detests fireworks. She says what's the point? If you've seen one firework display, you've seen them all.
I mean, just what is the fascination with deafening booms and flashing lights? As an animal lover, Mum can't understand why people with pets like to participate as most of our neighbours and many locals do have pets. Do they even care how terrifying these explosive sounds can be for animals? And that's ALL animals, not just beloved pets.
Silent or low noise fireworks are now available, but obviously the majority of the noise-obsessed public won't find them "fun" at all. Unfortunately, being excessively loud and obnoxious is all some persons can be in order to suggest they are having a good time.
If you're worried about your pets and fireworks here is a helpful video from Woodgreen Pets Charity, and also some advice on the charity's website here.
It's my 12th Gotcha Day on 21st July. I got adopted by Mum Marie from Wood Green in the summer of 2011 when I was just 10 weeks old. I had been abandoned in someone's garden and this amazing charity rescued me. They took care of me until I was ready to find a forever home. And the rest is history!
