Happy 11th birthday to 

Audace and Ruse!!

Ruse is doing what he loves best -- being near me and all my toys!

He's a very tech-savvy cat!

Audace is doing what he loves best -- snoozing!! Anywhere, anytime!

Happy HAPPY birthday to these guys!

Happy birthday to Grace!

Happy HAPPY Birthday to my beautiful Grace!

She's 11 years young, and she grows more precious to me every day.

Ten years old!!

It's hard for me to believe that these guys are 10 years old; they certainly don't act like it! They are healthy, full of the zoomies after each meal, curious about almost everything and everyone, sometimes lovey and sometimes quarrelsome with each other. The list goes on!!

Overall, they are a great joy in my home! I can't imagine life without them!!

Here's a link to the first post I read about Grace and her babies: http://graceandkittens.blogspot.com/2006/05/momma-grace-and-company.html 

And here's a link to the first photos I saw of these guys!! http://graceandkittens.blogspot.com/2006/05/pete-foster-we-need-homes.html

Look at them now!!

 Audace -- he LOVES to play with boxes and noisy paper!

Ruse -- he LOVES to "help" me when I'm on the computer!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THESE GUYS!

Happy 10th birthday to our beautiful Grace!

Our beautiful Grace is 10 years old. I can hardly believe it's been nearly 9 years since she came to live with me. She is such a wonderful companion, and a nice contrast with her rowdy sons!

 This was taken when Grace was a new mommy and was about a year old.

This was taken a couple of years ago, and it's one of my favorite photos of our gorgeous girl. Clearly she is leading a comfy life!!

 Happy HAPPY Birthday to Grace!

Nine years old!

This is the first post I saw about Audace and Ruse (then named Pete and Foster!):

And after more posts (see below), there was no question that I wanted to give them AND their momma Grace their forever home!

Happy HAPPY birthday to our lovely Momma Grace! 

Grace now lives a pretty soft life, which she has definitely earned! Here are some of my favorite pix of her over the past year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOYS!

Happy birthday to our food lady!!

Thank you, Grace and Ruse, for remembering!

Where's Audace? Oh, yes ... he's busy eating!!

Happy HAPPY Birthday to our beautiful Grace!

Happy #8 today, Grace, my little love!

All these good colors complement Grace's loveliness!

Happy Birthday #7 to Audace and Ruse!

... and to Marigold and Mr B, even though we think they have already celebrated in their new forever home with Mama Laura and Maxie!

Here are some pix from this past week (VERY recent!), including one from this morning showing how brilliant Audace is -- he has learned how to keep that food dish from slippy-sliding away from him as he eats!!

Thank you, Grace, for having such beautiful babies.

And, again and again, thank you Auntie Deb and Mommy ML for rescuing all of these li'l beauties!

Happy #7, Grace!!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to my Grace!

She is such a joy!!

Happy Birthday #6 to Audace and Ruse!

Happy HAPPY Birthday to Audace and Ruse today. Happy #6!!

Here are some fun photos to help celebrate!

Grace and her four babies at Deb's house; they were about a week old here, I think.

Here is Grace again, and that's Audace's upside-down head we can see. All that soft white fur!

Audace was about 6 weeks old here, so this was taken about June 1, 2006.

And here's Ruse's 6-week-old picture. Such li'l darlin's!!

Audace at age 5½ (last October) - big mancat that he is!

Ruse at 5½ - always helpful around the computer!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOYS!!
