Monte will be 10 years old

[jenluckenbach]

Well, 14 out of my 15 cats do not have a known birthdates, so we approximate, and this January, Monte will turn 10. He is the oldest of my cats, but I have only had him since Feb of 2000. It is hard to imagine a time without Monte. What a sweet boy.

This morning, as it typical for him, I woke to find him under the covers with is head out just like a human, laying right between Charlie and me. And I had my arm around him. :)

He loves mama's lap and to be carried over one shoulder. So sometimes I walk around with Monte in my left arm (sitting on my shoulder) while I go about other things.

His best buds are Kim and Bonnie and Sterling.


His best rival is Biddy. They scuffle for who's boss (by the way, that would be Monte) and then they kiss and make up.

Here is Monte with Kim

What a nice young man! He certainly has a great group of friends to hang out with... all stripped to really show off his beautiful white coat!

Have a happy Birthday Monte! You deserve some cake!

I can't believe how much my man Pounce looks like his mama! The only difference is his tail is a bit thinner.


So, all the Luckenbach kitties together now:
Happy Happy Birthday To Monte!!!

That just made me MELT! Monte is a lovely, lovely cat and doesn't look a day over 2 years if I say so! Meanwhile, doesn't he just look like Skylar and Casper?

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

AWWW - such a gorgeous boy! Please give Monte a big birthday scritchie from me!
