It's Samantha's 20th Birthday today! (lots of photos)

I can't believe it! My sweet Samantha kitty is 20 years old today!:)
She has slowed down a lot in the past year but she is still doing very well for a cat her age.
I finally had some time to go through some photos I took of her in the past few months so I thought her 20th Birthday would be a good time to share them with you all.

She spends a lot of her time by the new back door, either sitting or sleeping in the sun.

I actually caught her yawning in this photo.:)

One of her mouse sisters rolled by in her ball and made her get up.

I guess she liked the sunny spot too!

Curled up by the box again.

Samantha learned a new trick, how to remove her collar.

I tried a couple more times to get her to wear it but she is happier now without it since she doesn't go outside anymore anyway.

A few more photos in the next post.:)

Thinking about going out but being happy just sniffing the fresh air.

Just sitting down to enjoy the warm sun.

Can you tell that she likes it by the back door on sunny days?

Time for a quick bath before she takes another nap in the sun.

That's all the photos for now.
I hope they weren't too boring, being such an old cat, Samantha doesn't do too much.
I still enjoy having her around and I am so happy that I have been able to enjoy 20 wonderful years with her.:)

:love: Happy 20th Birthday, sweet Samantha! :love:

I so enjoyed seeing your pretty face in the photos. You look very elegant there on the new sunroom floor. And isn't it nice to have a good spot in the sun, and occasionally sniff the fresh air. :) Fister loves doing that too, from the window.

Samantha, I wish you a happy day, with special treats and lots of cuddles - may you have many more to come! I hope the sun will shine on you today! :)

Kisses from me, and gentle headbumpies from Fister.

Happy Birthday to you Samantha! I think you are the most senior kitty I have ever met! ;) You look mahvelous dahling! Keep soaking up the sun and taking those naps. It must be the key to a long life.
