Valentine Birthday...

Steph and Dan sent us a cute video of their three cats wishing Rufus a "Happy Birthday!" today.

It's his birthday already?  Since the vet estimated him at 3 to 4 years old, we decided to pick a close date for him... on day 1 (at the vet), we decided that February 14th would be Rufus's birthday.

I think he had a pretty good day today - it sprinkled most of the day, so there was no going out on a leash... his white paws would be a mess with the red sand around here.  He also got the day off from car rides.  No birthday cake (not good for kitties), but he got two different kinds of soft food and plenty of hard.  Lots of lovin'.  He was trusted to be by himself for an hour today, and he did great... we left some things out that would make it obvious if he had been on the counter or the table, which he did not do.

He is definitely more comfortable in his new home with us.  I wish I knew more about his background.  He understands "No!"  No fear of people.  He likes to be outside and look out through the windows, but doesn't make a fuss about going out.  He is a good boy... and he likes to be told that.

Happy Birthday, Rufus - we are happy to have you in the family!

Nap-time...
