HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SEI!!!!!

Sei-Chan: Well, actually, my birthday was yesterday but here's the strange thing. For some reason, #1 has remained convinced that my birthday is actually on January 29th and since her brain seems incapable of shifting on that matter, we decided it was simpler to have the official celebration on her day. Sigh…

Today, I am five years old Can you believe it? I cannot believe that I have been a happy kitty at Poupounette Central for that long. For those of you who have not known me since those early days, I first came for a visit when I was very young indeed, three weeks old to be precise:

But, as you can see, I was already full of character… I was just five weeks old when I came to live here full-time:

In case you were getting worried, I came with my Mama and she stayed with me until I was three months old. During that time, we lived in the back room, just the two of us, with frequent visits from #1:

This is me getting a snuggle from my Mama when I was just over two months old:

After my Mama left, I made friends with Tama-Chan and Tommy:

And later on with sweet Yuu-Chan who was with us such a short time:

Here I am at one year old:

At two years old:

At three years old:

At four years old:

And now at five!

#1 says I am the sweetest girl she knows. I get on with everyone, even though I am a bit of a scaredy-cat. I love my Tommy above all things, but I also love my #1 and sometimes sneak up on her in bed at night and snuggle in so close she can't move! I have grown somewhat chubby and #1 has tried to find ways to make me lose weight but nothing seems to be working. Sniff. She tells me I am gorgeous anyway.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SEI-CHAN FROM YOUR #1, YOUR TOMMY, YOUR BIG SISTER TAMA-CHAN, YOUR LITTLE (!) SISTER VIOLETTE, AND YOUR BROTHERS DA BEEBS, GENJI AND VIDOCK
