Good afternoon, sweet Iris! I absolutely love your gorgeous blue eyes; you are certainly one beautiful girl! And, wow, twenty two?! You certainly do not look twenty two, let me tell you. I`m sure you are just getting better with age, sweetie! Good for you for not letting your loss of hearing get you down - you don`t need to hear to enjoy all the splendid pleasures of feline life, right? You sound like such a sweet and loving girl, who has given her family many, many years of love and affection I`m sure they wouldn`t trade for the world! I wish you all the best in your future, and hope that you have more happy years ahead with your family. Enjoy your special day, Iris!
