MY THIRD BEEBSDAY!


Bibi-Chan: Today, December 4th 2012, is my THIRD BIRTHDAY! This is officially known as "BEEBSDAY" and gives rise to much rejoicing at Poupounette Central.

I hold a  special place among the kitties of the Poupounette Gang because I am the only "home-grown" kitty here. I was born at Dr. C's because my Mama Tama had to have a Caesarian but I came home when I was about five hours old and I have been here ever since. I was supposed to leave and go to a different Forever Home but I decided that #1 would be my Forever #1 and made sure I stayed!

There are so many pictures of me in the album that choosing a few (!) for this post has been really hard. But let us start with my official third birthday portrait:


I hope you like my bib and tucker. It comes from a great Etsy shop in Canada called Snoop CattyCat!

But let us go back to the beginning, shall we? Here I am with my three siblings aged one week:


And playing pattycakes with my Mama Tama aged about four weeks:


Learning to play with a wand at about six weeks. That's my brother GoGo-Chan on the right!


Here is Mama-Tama showing me the big outside world from the window at ten weeks


It was already quite clear how handsome I would be!


Here I am, at just over three months, with my big brother Yuu-Chan. He looked after me so well once Mama-Tama decided she was done with mothering. I was devastated when he went to the Bridge.


Of course, my other bestest friend, then and now, was Tommy! He always was happy to play, and offered a safe place to nap!



Here I am, at around the time of my first birthday, playing with toys #1 had brought me back from Japan:



At about 18 months, handsomer than ever!


Coming up to my second birthday


You all know that I am a real outdoor guy:


And that I am an escape artist who performs under the stage name of HOUBIBI!


And here I am on my second birthday!


I am lucky to have a little brother I can wrestle with:


 My life feels like one long sunpuddle!



I feel so lucky that I still share my days with both my #1 and my Mama-Tama!


 Purrs to all of you from the happiest Beebs ever!

    Happy Happy Birthday Bibi-Chan! You're a beautiful, playful and loving boy. Mom's thankful she's followed since your birth, and I'm thankful that she introduced me when I arrived at my forever home. Is it possible to order a Poupounette Calendar and pay delivery ourselves? We'd *love* to have one, purrs and snuggles, Katie
