my lil kitty is turning 18 this month 🙂 i don’t remember the exact day.. since i was only in 4th grade when he was born…
i was at my best friend megans house.. her cat was having kittens… next i knew i was begging my mom for the yellow tiger kitty…
megan and i had named him watcher, we named all the kittens…
my mom caved in and said yes… only he was going to be my responsibility.. my allowance went towards all his shots, food, fixing him everything…
he wasn’t a super cuddly kitty, but he did tolerate me… i was him mommy!
18 years later:
watcher has lived in 9 different homes
watcher has seen me graduate from junior high, highschool and college
watcher faithfully waited {watched} for me to come home from college… and then moped around when i was packing to move again
he was an outdoor kitty, always hunting and bring me home "presents"
the last few years he has become very lovey, and cuddly… he "talks" to me about his day and how hes feeling ( i know.. i’m a lil nuts)
i look forward to having him greet me at the door each day i come home
i love that he comes down stairs into my craft room every 15 mins or so to see what i’m up to
i love that he can sense when im sad
he is truly a best friend…
hes a strong kitty, has been through a lot
seeing his playmate rascal get hit by a car
bouncing from home to home
diabetes
cancer
i joke that hes going to live forever cause he loves me so much!
to another happy 18 years watchy kitty!
lv you
HAPPY B-DAY WATCHER!! I remember one time in highschool when I stayed over at your house, I felt like someone was “watching” me in my sleep, so my eyes popped open to see Watcher sitting on a table looking at me. LOL. He truly lives up to his name… 😉 One thing is for sure, that kitty is the most loved kitty in the whole world!
Oh he’s so beautiful, Happy Birthday Watcher, I love yellow tigered cats. He’s just adorable.

What a cutie Watcher is. Happy Birthday Watchy. I hope you have many more comfy and happy years. 🙂
