Happy Birthday to Fred

Fred was born 17 years ago!

I was on a mission, looking to adopt 2 kittens and no one had kittens... not even the Humane Society or the local pound. I called Friends of Strays and they had two kittens... but one was already spoken for. So, by default, I got Fred. It would be four years later that I would get Wilma... but today is Fred's day.


This is what Fred looked like when I brought him home.


He's a little older here, but not much.
Obviously he has not a care in the world.


He still does this today.

It's not unusual for my mailman to find Fred sleeping like this at the front door. Or, Fred will sleep like this in the garden, then get up with dirt all over his back and come in the house and leave a dirt trail wherever he goes.
