Guess who is no longer a kitten!

Handsome young King Arthur is now 1 year old! I'm going to dig up some old photos from when I first found him. I remember waiting a few days before trying to get any photos, because he and his siblings were actual newly born. But here he is, today, in all of his magnificence. And, yes, his ears remain pretty impressive.

1. Happy birthday, King Arthur.

You are among the most handsome of royals.

2. "The better to hear you with, my dear," says Arthur.

But that is not a promise to actually listen. No self-respecting feline would make a promise like that.

Happy Birthday Arthur.

20. "The better to hear the can opener and crumpling treat bag" . . . .

Far more cat-like

21. Absolutely.

3. Happy Birthday, most royal one! Still growing into your ears, I see.

And what special goodies will Mom prepare for you?

5. He just had some catnip treats

Now they are all enjoying the view from the enclosed front porch, which is the closest they get to 'outside'.

11. Excellent!

Have been meaning to ask, how are the outdoor babies doing?

12. I had a nice crowd arrive for breakfast

It's funny because some days there's food left in the bowls. This morning there were 5 waiting for me. Scooter, Spooky, Skittish, Tabby and a grey and white one for whom I'm still deciding on a name. He/she dens across the street, somewhere.

I did see Lush, the other day, but he isn't an everyday diner, like before. Haven't seen Bruiser in quite a while, but then Skittish disappeared for a couple of months and she's now back every day.

13. I have kept up with Arthur his whole life.

In fact, I know the names of all your kitties but not the names of most of my cousins.

Happy birthday Arthur!

18. I've been thinking back to the day I brought him and his siblings inside

They were 3 week old. I had been checking on them NUMEROUS times a day, and planned on waiting at least one more week, but two had bad eye infections. According to the vet, they were also underweight. He thought they were younger than 3 weeks, but since I saw them the day they were born, I could assure him of their age. So, eye drops and antibiotics for a week along with round the clock feedings.

Fortunately I learned a lot about raising such young kittens from raising Madoc and his siblings, although they were a little older.
