I hate to be so typecast, but I got a kitten as a present. A Maine Coon Cat!
My most loved cat growing up was a Maine Coon! I chased him out of a wood pile and we had him until he passed away 16 years later. He looked like a little wolf so his name was Wolfie. My constant companion. They are very loving cats. I hope he gets along with the rest of the family.

Happy Birthday, FC! A cat for your birthday, that's awesome. It's the gift that keeps on giving, affection, amusement, hairballs...
If you have any interest in a beautiful, green-eyed, gray-and-white American shorthair who periodically doesn't use her litter box, or a blue-and-tan border terrier whose favorite hobbies are eating cat poop, chewing action figures and pooping in the house in the middle of the night when no one will see him, let me know. I will pay for shipping!

Thanks for the good wishes (and free shipping on other pets ). The kitten has been named "Barny" - not to be confused with that odious purple dinosaur - because he was living in a barn with a gaggle of other kittens of varying age. "Take as many as you want" the owner said. (No pedigree, obviously.)

Happy Birthday Nancy !! I'm so happy that you got a kitten for your birthday. Barny is a cute name, and names that remind you of the cats start in life are always fun. Our cat 'Lucky' was adopted by us after being taken and returned to the Humane Society three times. She was 'lucky' that we got her in the nick of time! When I was growing up we had a cat named 'Pat Patio' because my father made the little guy live on the patio in the backyard for six months before he let him live in the house.
Now here is a curious question, do you consider yourself having a totally summer birthday, or does it seem to mark the beginning of autumn? Just wondering because even when I listen to the weather reports, my brain thinks of Nova Scotia as being a sort of wild and windswept vista where you have to be stalwart and brave to survive. (I think I've read too many romance novels o.0 or something) But the leaves are turning in our mountains and I wondered if the seasons change early in your part of the world as well. Anyway, Happy Birthday! Welcome Barny!
