We did the same thing with our first cat, Lilly. She was a stray that came around and we originally called this cat Lil Cat, as she was small and we weren't sure of the gender. She is long deceased, but paved the way for us to become devoted to cat rescue and TNR, in her honour. Hope you have a beautiful (just like you are!) COTD celebration with your loving family and live a long life just as our Lilly did!
