4/23/2012 - Today is my 17th birthday!!!  According to some non-scientific calculations, 17 cat years is about 84 to 87 human years.  I have outlived BB, Chung, Robert, Gi, Hart, Lung, MaGi, Bart, Mui, and Lik, but I sometimes feel lonely at home.  Like this afternoon, I was awake, and wanted to play, but both Ball and Fatty were heading out for dinner, so I was all by myself at home. 

It was a rainy and boring afternoon, plus it's my birthday, so scenes with other cats from the past started floating in my head again...

14 years ago today (4/23/1998), all of us had a fun evening playing with Ball.  I remember Mui became so excited and jumped several feet high from the floor.

7 years ago today (4/23/2005), all 8 of us, Gi, Hart, Lung, MaGi, Bart, Mui, Lik, and I were having birthday treats together.  Even though it was not Gi's birthday (her birthday was on 4/29), but she joined us anyway.

6 years ago today (4/23/2006), Ball and Fatty bought us a cat toy from Ikea.  All 8 of us took turns to sniff and explore this toy.  We had this toy for years and it was a nice gift.

5 years ago today (4/23/2007), Lung was still in recovery mode, but he joined us sleeping on the sofa. 

Look how young I looked 5 years ago (I turned 12 years old on that day).

4 years ago today (4/23/2008), Lung's condition started deteriorating, but he would still join us for breakfast. 

3 years ago today (4/23/2009), MaGi had a technical appointment, so despite it was Ball's birthday, she brought MaGi for the appointment anyway. 

Mui, Bart, and I were watching her leaving to the appointment that day.

After MaGi came back from the appointment, all 5 of us had our birthday dinner together.  Each of us had a our favorite food too!

2 years ago today (4/23/2010), Mui, Lik, and I were sleeping but Fatty woke up all of us to take a birthday picture.  So all 3 of us looked half-awake.

A year ago today (4/23/2011), Lik was in recovery mode from her cyst-removing surgery.  Despite that, she join Mui and I to have our 16th birthday breakfast.

Today, I am all by myself.  Though I am glad Ball and Fatty have spent a lot of time with me today.  They even put some decorations on my head to make me look cuter, though I hated it, so I gave them a dirty look.
