Happy Birthday, Allie!

Maxwell: Is that a gray hair I see, Allie?
Allie: Most likely, Maxie. I am a gray tuxie, after all. 
Maxwell: No, really. I think even your gray hairs are turning gray.
And is that a new wrinkle I'm seeing over here?

Allie: Enough with the gray hairs, Maxie.
Maxwell: Is your temper fraying a bit, Allie?
Maybe you're going through Meownopause.

(long pause)

Did you hear what I said? Allie?  ALLIE?
Holy cat, she's losing her hearing ....

Allie: *sigh* I can hear you just FINE, Maxie (although I wish I couldn't at times).
I was just counting to ten.

Maxie: Counting to -- oh NO! You're having cognitive function issues, too?
How many paws am I holding up Allie?

Allie?

Allie: Wonder if I'd get a senior discount on Pest Control?
Maxwell: Pest Control? We have no bugs, Allie.
Are you seeing things now? I hear that's a sign of senility.
Have you had your geriatric screening yet?
Just trying to be there for you, Allie.
You know, being a senior cat now, and all.

Wishing Allie a Happy Birthday!

We're not exactly sure what day Allie was born but Wayside Waifs, her Alma Mater, estimates early October of 2007. So, happy birth-month, Little Princess!

And, uh, somemommy got it WRONG last year. She's only now turning 9.

To help keep her honest in the future - and to avoid any messy "birther" issues, we've decided to publish her "birth certificate" from PetPoint.

Faraday: Wow, Allie, you were actually skinny back then.

Allie: That's it. I'm never celebrating another birthday. EVER.
