While today is not the anniversary of the day we found a certain little wet, dirty ginger kitten in a parking lot… it is our best guess of what his birthday could be.


It’s hard to believe that sleek beast on the right was ever as round and puffy as the little thing on the left!

His is, however, just as loud and demanding.






It’s a theme that’s only gotten worse as he’s grown. Seriously, he is the yelling-est cat I’ve ever had! And Burton is quite the talker. Even Rupert is quite vocal. But neither of them have anything on Lemmy!
But… he’s also very sweet.

He purrs at the drop of a hat, and loves a good lap session. More often than not, we find him in the bed with us in the morning.
He hasn’t lost his curiosity…


And he continues to make me laugh with his antics.
His coat had darkened with age, and he’s now very close in colour to Rupert – although he’s double the size of his diminutive doppelganger.
He loves to be out in the catio, chasing bugs, murdering monarchs, and yelling at birds.

Or just chilling on his toadstool.
But he also loves just hanging out with us. On workdays, I can pretty much count on him showing up in my office around 2 pm.

He gets a little loving, then retires to the cat tree, where he naps until it’s quitting time.
He’s fit in so well with our motley crew…

and we couldn’t be happier our paths brought us together that fateful October day.
Happy birthday, Lemmy.

The last photo is great. It almost looks like it’s posed with the two ginger bookends.

I’m SO VERY glad that you brought Lemmy home. I remember you saying that you were NOT going to keep him. :-). I’m so glad that you did. There’s something special about Lemmy. That picture of him in the cat tree in your office is beautiful. His eyes are so big.
Blessings,
