I Almost Forgot!

It was 10 years ago that I started this blog, and my how time does fly!

Tiger was my muse and avatar from the beginning,

but left us this month to be with his brother, on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Thankfully, Benji is still with us, and just like this blog, is 10 years old; we hope he makes it to 18 like Tiger. For now, we’ll remain a one cat family, since our little tripawd deserves all our attention.

The top two rows in the gallery are of Benji when he had all four; the last two rows show him missing a leg. Same kitty, same adventurous spirit. Even after his injury two years ago, he has remained the sweetest and happiest cat we’ve ever had.

It won’t be long, before I change my avatar to Benji.

But not yet.

  8. Happy 10 year blogaversary! It’s clear from your photos of Benji that his accident hasn’t held him back at all 🙂 I’m sure he’ll make a lovely avatar when the time comes …

  12. Congratulations on 10 great years, Susanne! Thanks for taking us along with you. (14 years for me this summer, that has gone quickly)

    Best wishes, Pete.

  14. Happy anniversary! I remember when I reached ten years of my blog and I thought, “My God, I’ve been putting up with Catorze’s nonsense for TEN YEARS?”

  15. Susanne, I’m sad that Tiger has crossed the Rainbow Bridge but with Benji still in the picture, I’m sure life will continue to be interesting! Happy Blogaversary!!

    • Thank you so much for your comment. It was Tiger’s time, but he had a good, long life. Benji definitely keeps it interesting! 🙂
