Sunday Selfies and a VERY Special Day

We're pawticipating in The Cat on My Head's Sunday Selfies today.

Today is my gal Madi's 16th Birthday and she's sponsoring an event called Road Trip

From Madi's Blog:

We thought it would be fun to have all my friends tell about learning to drive: if your parents taught you, if you went to driver's ed and the fun or not so fun things that might have happened.  Another idea would be to 

tell about a road trip that stands out in your mind as memorable, good or bad or funny.
  Doesn't have to be long.

We would love to have you all join us to celebrate my 16th.

Mama of Mayor Arty, Jakey and Rosy SassyPants will set up a blog hop for us.

The hop will be set up and ready for you to pre-post on March 1, 2018.  You may reach it by

Mom wold tell you about getting her driver's license but it was bazillion years ago (and she failed the first two times) so We're going to tell the story of how the Florida Furkids BECAME Florida Furkids. 

Mom and Dad met when Mom lived in New Jersey and Dad lived here in Florida.   Mom went to an online dating site as a joke and Dad came up as the perfect match for her.  They emailed for a while, they talked on the phone and then he came up for a weekend visit.  By the time he left, they knew it was right and that Mom and what was then the New Jersey Furkids would be moving to Florida.   Zip ahead 3 months, Dad comes up and they pack up Mom's stuff and it goes into a big truck.  Dad drives  the truck with Mom's American Eskimo dog Katie and they are pulling Mom's Miata.  Mom drives the Friends FurEver business van with Angels Tamir, Sniffie, Cory and Baschert.  Mom was worried because Angel Tamir HATED the car and usually screeched the song of our people anytime he was in the car.  They drove for about 8 hours and stopped for the night.  Everyone was good as gold.   The next day they started up again and drove the rest of the way to Florida.  Mom was totally impressed with how well they behaved.  The only time she got nervous on the trip was when Dad tried to go through the drive-thru at McDonalds and almost took the roof down!!  EEEK.....she managed to get him to stop before he did!  The moral of the story is that we kitties can adapt when you least expect it.  Angel Tamir never mad a peep!  He also NEVER was quite in the car again!!

One more story from Raz.   

This is me in the PTU on the way home for the first time after I was adopted.  Funny thing is it is my first Selfie.....who knew?

I am proud to say that that is probably one of the FEW times I rode in a PTU without pooping in it.  In fact, I am now a Charter Member of the PTU Poopers club!  Isn't the badge great?  Thanks to our pal Teddy's Mom for designing the badge.

Madi, I hope you aren't upset with me for joining this club!  I hope you have a PURRFECT 16th birthday!  Don't forget to join us at Cat Scouts for the March Birthday Party!!
