The bunting is up chez josiekitten today to celebrate the 5th birthday of Florence! We don't know when her actual birthday is as she was a rescue cat and her age was estimated at 1 year by the vet when we adopted her. But 4 years ago today, she came to live with us and so we decided that August 1st would be her official birthday.
It's hard to remember the nervous, hissing cat we first met...
She settled in very fast and has become a confident kitty who definitely knows her own mind! Here she is with her 'sister' Elsie, who sadly had to be put to sleep not long after coming to live with us.
She soon made herself at home...
... and proved an invaluable office assistant!
She developed a love of all things knitted early on...
She likes perching on my shoulders...
We watched as she took her first steps outside in the big wide world...
... and she swiftly became a pro at using her cat flap.
She likes to 'help' when I am spinning too...
But this is what she does best of all ...
Happy birthday to the most velvety black pussy cat in the world! xxx

Birthday greetings to Flo from far and wide! You are a valued friend to your Mom's knitting community. Wishing you many more years of doing what you do best--entertaining so many w/your wonderful antics!
We had to choose a birthday for our rescue cat many years ago and we chose July 1st. She was the double of Flo.
Happy birthday Flo, may you have many more :)
