Location: Beverly, Massachusetts, USA
My boyfriend brought this little fella home from work last week. If you look closely he has what looks like a Y on his face. In this picture he is eight weeks old and playing with his favorite toy. He is so full of energy, he never stops playing. He loves to be around people and loves playing with his big brother Burton.
Look at those markings! very cute!

Gotta love the orange whisker freckles!
Happy Purrday, Kitten Whisperer. I hope you have as good as purrday as I have been. I’m having a season. sushi with a friend tonight and plans with one of my brothers in the near future.
Happy Purrday to you!!
Happy birthday, Kittenwhisperer - hope you have a great day! Where is the cake?
Thanks for the birthday greetings! I brought a large urn of strong Columbian coffee made from freshly ground coffee beans and a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and creamcheese frosting. Party!
LOVE creamcheese frosting!!!
Wow! I love chocolate/raspberry anything! I’ve got the candles!
I hope you brought a lot of candles. This is my 55th birthday. I can now order from the Seniors menu at many restaurants.
I’ve never seen a senior’s menu, only kids’. But you can get 10% off at T.J. Maxx on Tuesdays and pay less to go to the movies!
Woo hoo! Life is good!
Woohoo! It Is Parteee Time!
You can join AARP and will be eligible for discounts on hotels, rental cars, insurance, etc. Now just kick up your heels. Congrats on Bday
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer!! Would suggest not lighting ALL those candles……….As the neighbors may call the fire department, to report a bon fire in your house !!
Also, K.W……….Many benefits to becoming “Senior”. Your groceries will be taken to your car and loaded,(even if it’s 2 bags), no more hassle with lawn and garden, or pool supplies. You will be waited on hand and foot!! Plus,(in our area), many of the stores offer an extra 15% off on purchases, several times a month. We don’t like being “golden”………but it’s not all that bad!!
KittenWhisperer, a most happy birthday to you! Get all the seniors you can! Happy 55th! I am only 53, but have joined AARP! Not as bad as it sounds! Get’s discounts and a magazine that lets you know what’s going on. A good thing to know. Enjoy your day! Hope it was wonderful! Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Thanks, Lynn. I’ve been a card-carrying member of AARP for 11 years. I rode in on the coat tails of my (much older–OK 6 years older) husband when he turned 50).
You can also get free AARP e-mails sent to you. I’ve read a few of them, they are interesting.
KW, have been riding the coat tails of my roomate who is 61 this year since I turned 50! I hear you and You go girl! I have learned so much from the magazines and letters we get every 2 months. We need to stay informed of what may happen with insurance and social security, cause it doesn’t look too good in my opinion. Thanks for sharing. Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Not fair, in UK we don’t get any discounts/benefits etc. until we are officially pensioners (delightful abbreviation OAP old age pensioner) ie on reaching 65. Pensionable age has been standardised for men and women, previously it was 60 for women and 65 for men.
The discounts vary from business to business. Some don’t offer them to anyone. Others offer them to people over 60 or over 65. It’s fairly hit and miss but fun when you find one you qualilfy for. I love the abbreviation for pensioners in the UK.
I don’t qualify for social security and I think the current age you can begin drawing it (correct me if I’m wrong TDKers) is 62).
HAPPY BELATED PURRDAY SANDI!!!!!!!!!
Yes, a very happy belated birthday to you, Sandi as well. Seems like you enjoyed your day! Many more happy and healthy birthdays to come. Hugs and Purrs
Kisses on the nose to than beautiful little kitten. I have to pick him up and cuddle him. Don’t worry I’m bringing him to the sharing circle.
What a cute little kitten, love the coloring. Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer!!
I am in love with this little fella! What a great way to start what’s going to be a tough work week. Thanks Kittenmaster and thanks to Ryder’s guardians for sending in his handsome picture. (love the “Y” too!)
Have a great day, TDKr’s!!
hey thanks for your reply… i’m glad Ryder made your day. He’s getting bigger and bigger everyday and quite a riot too.
Mainly vanilla, with a little bit of orange. What a cutie! And a boyfriend who rescues kittens? Hang on to that one!
By the way, birthdays in our family seem to go on for a week - not a bad tradition as far as I am concerned.
Birthday’s in our family are celebrated to a month. In fact we refer to them as our “BirthMonth”. it’s a lot of fun and a tradition I strongly suggest.
I really like this idea.
Sorry! meant to type “for a month”
This would not work in my family as my oldest son is 6/30, my youngest son is 7/3 my great nephew ( lives nextdoor) is 7/8 and then i’m on 7/9. By the time my Birthday is here everyone is partied out! It’s like oh happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer. Hope it is joyful, and that all your wishes come true.
Belated Birthday wishes to Sandi - glad that you are having a whole season of celebration.
Ryder is adorable, just love his coloring and that so sweet face. Hope he gives you many years of smiles.
EZ Ryder indeed! Wonder if he also has EZ Purr installed?
Ryder = eZ feline management system?
Happy B-Day Kitten Whisperer and Sandi! Hope you both have a wonderfully BEAUTIMAS day!!
What a gorgeous baby this morning. I want one………
Hope everyone is well! Brought Mimosas and made french toast this moring, extra crispy bacon for HM and a HUGE pot of coffee for Great Dane!! Dig in!
And a big birthday cake for Kitten Whisperer and Sandi
Ahhh, LeeAnne, you’re a lifesaver! I don’t know what happened - I have a ton of work! Arrrrgh!
Oh my. TOO SWEET!!!!! THUD!
Pierce is reserved, Johnny will deliver medicinal cuddles and Med Choc®.
Hey, Miu, what are you doing with my boyfriend, Pierce? Hrrrmf, I guess I’ll console myself with Matthew McCaunaghay (I’m quite sure I did not spell that correctly!).
Ryder is just lovely, and I agree keep the boyfriend who rescues kittens……
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer, and belated Birthday wishes to Sandi…..if I missed anyone, hope that you had a good birthday weekend….its been one of those weeks….but its my Friday!!!
Everyone have a good one….;D
OMG! I’m in LOVE! (feeds kitten slice of smoked salmon) I have a mere simple breakfast today, just in case anyone has children going back to school. There’s steel-cut oatmeal with your choice of dried fruit, honey, brown sugar, butter, and/or cinnamon, scrambled eggs with cheese, bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, hash browns, grits, tea, and White Russians. Who wants eats?
Did I hear White Russians!!! MMMMMMMMM I’ll take one of those and an mimosa too!!!
Virtual Drinking meaning I can drive in reality!!
I’m with you Tiger’s Mama, a White Russian and a Mimosa!! My kids went back to school 10 days ago, but we started today at CNM (Central New Mexico Community College). It’s great to have the students back, I actually missed them! But I’m extremely busy.
I have an unusual item to share for today’s breakfast. It is sure to please those who love bacon (HM) and chocolate. It is a Mo’s Bacon Bar made with fine chocolate and………….bacon! My daughter (whose nickname happens to be Mo) gave me a taste of this yesterday. It’s suprisingly good. Here is a description from the maker’s website: Deep milk chocolate coats your mouth and leads to the crunch of smoked bacon pieces. Surprise your mouth with the smoked salt and sweet milk chocolate combination.

Hmmmm, now that’s a little bizarre, Kitten Whisperer - I think I may stick with a bucket of coffee and the birthday cake!
Hmmm… There must be a lot of hardcore baconists out there… But I HAVE to taste it…
I agree–this is for the truly hardcore baconist. I thought immediately of Huddy’s Mama.
It is definitely worth trying at least once.
Where is HM?
Denny’s has a seniors menu
Where’s Huddy’s Mama-she’ll go gaga over that!
YA-HOOO, Huddy’s Mama - are you out there????
Good morning everyone!
Happy Purrsday to all celebrators.
May I add to this mornings feast? I made some blueberry/corn muffins this morning, (they’re still warm) and I steeped some lovely tea to go with them. Enjoy!
Blueberry corn? Interesting combination–I’ll take one please. Do you have a recipe for those?
I make those… I use Jiffy cornbread mix and just add frozen blueberries.
Thanks–I’ll try them!
What a cute kitty !!! Right now, I’m bellying up to the virtual food bar, I need to gorge, it’s been a very busy time packing, coming home from vacation in Maine (which is gorgeous and a great time with friends), being supportive of my father’s cancer surgery. The second exploratory is in 3 days. If they can’t get the cancer out this way, they will have to open him up from the outside snd replumb him from the bladder to the right kidney. All your vibes and hugs are appreciated big time - just keep the caffeine and chocolate coming until Sunday September 2nd is all I ask. Thank you !!!
Lots of possitive thoughts to you and your Dad that all works out well. Hugs to you both.
Hugs, good thoughts, prayers, purrs, headbonks, and sandpaper kisses from us!!
Cheri, I’m glad you had a great time on vacation. I could use some time off, myself!
Good luck with all the packing and I wish your dad all the best.
Hugs and good thoughts headed your way!
Good luck with your move, Cheri. I hope your vacation brought your some much-needed rest. Purrs and prayers for you and your father that this next surgery will do the trick.
{{{HUGS}}}
I send healing energy and zest for your Daddy & endurance and happiness to you!
Ditto what all the above said, Cheri — you’ve got a lot on your plate, but you sound like a trooper who can handle all that and then some. We’ll be praying for you and your dad!
Prayers and hugs coming to you and your family, Cheri, I know this is a difficult time for you. Know that I am thinking of you. Hugs and Purrs, Lynn
Happy Birthday Kitten Whisperer! Many Blessings to you.
Oh…and Ryder, you is one handsome li’l furry dude!
Good Morning TDKer’s, I hope all had a great weekend!
Happy Purrday to Kitten Whisperer and Sandi, may you both have blessed days!
What a little angel our Ryder is, love his markings. Many hugs for Ryder!
Very cute. Well, it’s off to pick up the rental truck and car hauler for me.
Have a good one!!
Safe travels to you and wife-woman both. Great to hear from you!
Hugs!
