Rowan turns 1

Wow, Rowan is now officially an adult cat. It was a great first year. He does not replace Liam, but I am certainly glad I found him. He has made Nori complete again and she adores her Rowan. I originally bought Rowan by a chance encounter at a new pet store. Liam had been gone for a few weeks and Nori wasn't handling her best friend missing. He was the lone kitten in the cage, all brothers and sisters were sold. He was beautiful so I took him home.


Nori wished her best friend a happy birthday this morning with some morning love

I bought him 3 new toys that I tried to pick specifically for him based on what he usually likes.

First I have him a fuzzy mouse that had a rattle inside and a feather tail. Instant hit. Took it straight to the bathtub (one of his favorite places) and played with it. He held it in his mouth as he stared at Nori and Declan growling (it's his birthday, I suppose he doesn't HAVE to share if he doesn't want to)

This is what it looked like after less than 5 mins of obsessively playing with it

Then I gave him a catnip filled strawberry. He didn't touch it...lol I thought since he is head over heels for this fuzzy feathery catnip filled toy he might like this, nope.

Then I gave him a soft fuzzy and rattling ball, also a big hit.

Rowan: What else you got for me ma?

Finally I bought him a container of real dehydrated salmon

He was even nice enough to share with his friends

And the party wouldn't be complete without a party hat for the birthday boy

Doesn't he look so happy LOL
