Today is the eighth birthday of Swashbuckler the Cat

[Jack Rabbit]

He is taking a nap on the bookcase beside me.

I'm not making any endorsements, but I think he would make a better president than Donald Trump.

1. Today is also Melia the Mutt's eleventh birthday.

She could be Swashbuckler's VP choice. Not only could she and The Swash beat Trump and his cohort, she'd be a more than capable attack dog for the campaign.

4. That's not saying much

There's a rock in my front yard that would make a better president than Donald Trump.

5. Swabbie says "thank you" to his well wishers

He had a very happy birthday and got a toy spiked with catnip. He said "thank you" and was later heard saying "wow, man!"

6. This thread is useless without a photo!

I'd love to see this swashbuckling catnapper!

Happy Birthday Kitty!

7. He's in here somewhere

That's his mother, the late Spitfire, trying to figure out what to make of the camera.

9. You are familiar with mama cats, I can tell

Spiffie and her three brothers were born feral. I coaxed them into the house. One of the male cats, Buccaneer, was the first to get it -- I wanted to feed them, not eat them. Spiffie was the next to get it, but she continued to growl and hiss at me, even as she started eating out of my hand. Therefor, she was given the name Spitfire.
