Happy 13th Birthday Ripley (w/baby pics)

Today is my big boy's 13th birthday. He was so active and so wild I never in my wildest dreams thought he would live to be this old. He burned the candle at both ends for the first 5 years of his life.

We got Ripley when he was 7 weeks old from a lady who's solid white Maine Coon had an accident litter. There were three kittens, two solid white females and Ripley, Hubby said a male only for some reason.

Okay, onto the pictures. I finally got a scanner so I can show what he looked like at 7 weeks old in April 1992.

Aww! Happy Birthday Ripley! You are now officially a teenager in human years. I LOVE that kitten pic of you in the tortilla box! Such a cute, little snacker-doodle who's turned into one handsome hunka-hunka MC fluff! Enjoy you special day and best wishes to many more!

Happy Birthday Ripley!

They grow up so fast! Mine are still all 2 years old (Claudia is youngest - won't be 2 till June), but I know that it goes by really fast. Ripley is gorgeous! :) Reminds me of a long-haired version of my Bailey - especially in those kitten pictures. :)
