Happy Birthday, Warden!!

Our Mom, aka The Warden, is elebentyy billion years old today. Ok, we don’t exactly know how old she is, because she says it’s a secret – and apparently it’s more closely guarded than what goes on at Area 51. Hehe.

When she woke this morning, I was curled up next to her in my favorite spot: right underneath her chin. I purred “Good morning and Happy Birthday, Momma. Last night while you were sleeping, I left your present right there on the bed where you’ll be sure to see it. It’s not as grand as the one Rocky left for you on the floor the other day, but I hope you like it.”

I don’t know why, but she wasn’t exactly over the moon about my gift!! So apparently I missed the mark. But it’s the thought that counts, right?



Our Mom is determined to have a happy day today, despite feeling kinda blue. See, her own momma has been so mean to her lately. This evil woman (remember, we don’t call her Grandma since she says we aren’t important because “we’re not human”) has been sayin the most awful things that no one should say to anyone, let alone their precious daughter.

She treats our Mom so horribly, it makes her think her own Mother wishes she’d never been born! I thought Moms were sposed to love their kids no matter what, but apparently non-Grandma didn’t get the memo. Besides, it’s not like our Mom did anything to deserve this. She’s a kind, thoughtful, loving daughter. She gave up a wonderful life in California to move here to help that nasty beast, and was told “You shouldn’t have come here for me, because I don’t need any help.”

She tells our Mom “You don’t have any friends; no one likes you because you’re not a nice person.” Wow, non-Grandma that is harsh! We know it’s not true because our Mom thinks of all of YOU as her friends even though she’s never met you in person.

Our Mom’s sister and nephew came for a visit and they’re staying over at the beast’s lair. Yesterday, non-Grandma told our Mom’s sister “If you’re going to celebrate her birthday, DON’T DO IT HERE!!” Wow again, non-Grandma – that’s harsh even for you!

Us kitties are so thankful our Mom was borned all those years ago. She grew up to be a wonderful person in spite of the beast, and then she rescued us. We love her because she loves us with every inch of her heart, and we know she’d never treat her own children the way non-Grandma treats her.

If you want to leave her a meow or a woof on this special day, I just know it would make her purr!

~Love and kitty licks,

  1. Wishing your Mom a happy birthday. So sorry her Mom is not very nice to her. Maybe they should not see or talk to each other for a while.

  2. Happy Birthday, Warden! We are sorry your own Mom seems to be a VERY difficult person. Some people just are. Also, people sometimes get crabbier as they get older. Do her doctors know she is so grouchy?

  4. I hope your human has a nice birthday in spite of her mother. My human can relate - she and her mother did not get along at all, and in fact, they really did not like each other as people! When she was younger, my human was a little sad her mom did not love her for who she was but eventually she got over it and did not miss having a relationship with her. My human's friendships are proof that blood does not make a real family.

  7. You shouldn't exaggerate when it comes to talking about peeps ages. They are really sensitive about that. We bet that your Mom is no more than twenty-one bazillion years old.

    We're sorry to read that your not-Grandma has been difficult to your warden, especially when she moved there to help your not-Grandma. Our head peep went through some difficult caregiving the past couple years after not really having a relationship with her mother for many years for similar reasons, and reading your post made her want to give you an extra-big birthday hug.

    Happy birthday to the Warden!

  8. We wish your mom a very happy Birthday! We're so sorry that your non-grandma has chosen to be so cruel. Non-Grandma is really missing out if she can't recognize what a kind, caring, and wonderful person your mom is. Unfortunately being a mom doesn't automatically make that person capable of being loving, caring, and supportive. We're glad your mom recognizes the absurdity of non-Grandma's cruel words and is such a great and loving mom to you kitties.
    P.S.
    We think your birthday gift to her sounds perfect.

  13. Happy belated birthday!! Mean words can be so hurtful but only if we accept them as truth, which they aren't :-)

  14. We hope you are taking all our kind words and continuing to keep that birthday spirit going today! Mean words are just that - mean. Our mom's mom sounded the same as your mom's mom. The good that came out was that we got a great mom! Too bad that human is missing so much in life but that's her choice. Hugs and kisses and purrs to you!

  16. That makes us very sad that the non-grandma treats your mom so poorly. We certainly know that your mom is a lovely, kind, caring and wonderful person (and you can tell her we said so, too!), and hope that she had a terrific birthday.

    To the Warden/Julia: We love you, dear friend. Happy Day and Year!

  19. Well we sure wish your Momma a VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY even if the mean non-Grandma doesn't. Elebenty billion is a nice ripe age....my Mom is AT LEAST that old - maybe older - and still she takes super duper care of me like your Momma does for you! Give her lots of extra head bumps and winks today to make her feel super special.....

    Kitty Hugs, Sammy

  20. Mean is mean, avoid mean people, they don't make you feel good about yourself, they use meanness as a weapon and hit you with it. Do NOT let this bad spirit snd sourness get you down. Victory goes to those who love their friends and animals.
