I've never seen the top of my head before! It's very mancatly, don't you think? This aerial shot was taken using the tip of my tail and a passing human who had nothing better to do at the time!

Yesterday was my 7th Gotcha day!! Oh yes it was! Seven years ago yesterday, a mad woman was prowling around the RSPCA rescue centre in Conwy looking for a dog to take home and lavish her affection on! I took one look at her and barked. The rest is history! Yesterday I spent the day nipping and napping and generally not doing anything. Today I am recovering! ;)
Here I am in my first ever picture taken by the mad woman! By this time she was already having doubts as to my provenance as a Canis lupus familiaris, but it was several more months before she gave up trying to get me to "fetch".

recover - to cover again

Oh Austin, we really like your version of your selfie. We might have to join this selfie stuff and take your lead.
ReplyDeleteHappy gotcha day yesterday. Glad you barked at that lady. What a great home you found.
You all have a fantastic day.
Oh, Happy Gotcha Day, dear Austin (sorry we're a day late!).
ReplyDeleteIt's lucky that you managed to tempurrarily convince that mad lady that you were a woofie. You must be a furry good thespian.
Happy Gotcha Day! We love your selfie and you're adorable first photo!!

That is the most adorable little cat head ever! Happy Gotcha Day. Even if you weren't a dog, I can see why the mad woman chose you. You were so darn cute and handsome and you still are!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha day Austin,wishing you many more,xx SPeedy
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Austin!!! You really are a special boy!!!
ReplyDeleteWe like your selfie Austin. Have a serene and easy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Austin, what a clever (always!) mancat you are. You saw your opportunity and you barked. Now tell me, is there any kitty more filled with intellect than YOU? I will answer, No. LOVE the selfie too. My kinda guy, xoxox
ReplyDeleteHappy gotcha day, Austin! I'm glad your human got smart and brought you home instead of a silly dog!
ReplyDeleteCats rule! So glad you took a chance and barked at the staff!
ReplyDeleteThe top of your head is as good looking as the rest of you, dood. Happy Gotcha Day!
ReplyDeleteI think it marvelous that you barked and now celebrate your 7th GOTCHA! And Austin how wonderful that selfie is today!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day! You are so adorable:)

Happy gotcha day Austin!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Austin and here's to many more.
ReplyDeleteWe are RSPCA cats too and came from a home (Leicestershire) where there were over 100 cats in one house and they went in and brought us all out and gave us our little operations and generally checked us out. We were in their cattery - at least 6 in a cage as they were over flowing with us all. Mum had just lost a very old lady cat (19 years) and was passing and just called in on impulse.
Our Gotcha Day will be next month!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Happy Gotcha Day to you both!!! We're so happy you found each other!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dexterous tail you have. Your human may have confused your for a dog, but did she consider you might be part lemur?
ReplyDeleteHappy 7th Gotcha day. You're lucky to have chosen a great family.
Happy Gotcha day, Austin. Nice job impersonating (imdogalating?) a canine...

Happy Gotcha Day Austin! How fortunate that the mad woman mistook you for a dog.
ReplyDeleteI must say you have your tail very well trained. I wonder if I can get mine to take selfies for me.

ReplyDeleteYou have quite the dexterous tail for such a selfie! Congratulations on your 7th gotcha day!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 7th Gotcha Day, Handsome :) That selfie is excellent :) Pawkiss and 7 Extra Pawkisses for the occasion :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Austin! I’m still trying to get TW to fetch. Every time she shoots a rocket or coated hair band, I yell “fetch” and she gets it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Gotcha Day Austin!!!!! So very glad you and your Mum found one and other! Love the "new" selfie, hope it catches on!
