One of my fur babies, Scotty, will be turned 16 years old on Friday. His sister Missy aka Princess turned 17 in May. (I'm such a bad Mama because I didn't post about her birthday!)
I adopted Scotty from the Vancouver SPCA when he was 6 weeks old. He was tiny and the quietest of the litter. My sister adopted one of his brothers, Dusty, a grey tabby. Dusty is not with us any more but everytime my sister looks at Scotty, she gets reminded of Dusty. Even though they are two different colours, they have the same face. Scotty was such a small kitty...he fit in the palm of my hand and now he is a big boy!
He loves sleeping on our pillows, specially my husband's pillow. At the beginning it was fine but as he got larger he took up the whole pillow. We now have to share! When he sleeps on mine, I have to get another pillow for myself. 
His long fur is beautiful...but he doesn't like to be combed. Last year he had so many knots that I had him shaved. My husband was not happy! Scotty looked funny...see for yourself.
Happy Belated Birthday Baby Boy!
