taco cat.

happy first birthday to Pete the Cat on Cinco De Mayo!!

he’s grown from a tiny crazy rescue kitten

who never stopped

jumping, climbing, standing UP, running, exploring, playing

and most of all

hugging and loving

olive the slow and gentle cat and me

 I was worried 

when he suddenly 

mellowed out 

in the last few weeks

thought he might be 

plotting something

was he going to change the locks while I was gone?

was he going to somehow find a way to get outside

and be standing tall on the roof waving

when I got home?

was he going to lock his best friend olive

in the closet while playing hide and seek?

what was he planning?

then I remembered

he was born on cinco de mayo

 his very first birthday was coming soon

he had somehow 

grown into a teenager right before our eyes

while always mellow olive 

 had grown into a mid-lifer

   both are still who they are

they had found a happy medium

with Pete the Cat running the taco stand

and Olive and I lined up to buy what he’s selling

(his tacos are made with jelly beans, marshmallow fluff and maple syrup)

happy to all be sharing our space.

  3. Wonderful! Our little kitty boys just turned one year, as well.
    (Our daughter always used to imagine her cat cooking pancakes while we were gone, while her sibling’s cat was on the phone inviting other cats to their party.)
