birthday party

Our beloved cat Mac turned 15 today. I adopted him in Chicago in September of 1995 when he was just eight weeks old. For a special treat we held a party for him today and he enjoyed his very first can of wet cat food. He seemed to thoroughly enjoy it, so I hope he doesn’t start rejecting the food he’s eaten for the last decade and a half. He may have lost an inch or two off of his vertical leap, but all things considered, he’s in phenomenal shape; most people are shocked when they learn his age. Happy birthday, old buddy.
