HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN TAMA!

#1 here. This post is a celebration of our beloved Tama-Chan's fourth birthday, of almost four years of joy shared, during which she has gone from this:

To this:

Our Tama is a special girl in so many ways. She is reserved but very loving. She loves to play. She was a wonderful mother to her four kittens, including Bibi. She is very protective of her home against perceived intruders. She never asks for anything, but loves to be spoiled. She especially loves the Zoom Groom and she is going to get a mega session today!

It is almost impossible to choose just a few photos that are representative, but we must, and so we have decided to have just two from each year she has been with us.

Birth to First Birthday:

One of the first pictures I ever saw of Tama. She was 6 weeks old and I knew she had to be mine!

With Tommy, at five and a half months old:

HAPPY FOURTH BIRTHDAY, SWEET TAMA. MAY THE YEARS AHEAD BE FILLED WITH LOVE, CUDDLES AND GOOD HEALTH.

From your #1, your loving son Bibi, your best pal ever Tommy, Sei-Chan, Genji, Vidock, Violette and Urey
