Happy 17th Birthday Samantha!

[Vermontcat]

Today my sweet Samantha is 17 years old!
Here are some recent photos of her to celebrate!

Showing that she can still squeeze through the deck gate.

Happy Birthday, girly girl.

You don't look a day over 10!

Keep going strong, we love seeing your face.

Dear Samantha the cowcat...

Here's to many moooooore birthdays! I agree...you don't look a day over 10!

[DogLover9501]

Wow, 17!

Happy Birthday, Pretty Samantha :D Here's to many more!

[Vio&Juni]

Samantha is such a pretty kitty and she doesn't look a day over 10. I love her cute nose and her Moo-marks :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh darn, Samantha! Tubby told me he was going to surprise you with a birthday card, but I've been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to check my RB email! :(

I know he is sending lots of nose kissies and head bumpies to you on your special day. And now I can see why you two were so compatible. He was my little cow kitty too! For two reasons, he would often stick his head through the railings (similar to you) so he looked like a cow standing in a stanchion, and also because he loved to graze on the grass when I let him out - just like you are doing! I sure hope you throw that grass up while you're still outside though, and not be like Tubby and wait until the minute I let him in. :rolleyes: ;) :D

Happy Birthday Sweet Samantha!!!
And many many many more! :D

[luvofallhorses]

Many nose-scratches and nose-kissies, on that sweet nose of yours!!
