Good morning felinity assembled, Friday the Bearded Lady here and today I am celebrating my 1st birthday!
I was born on the streets and my earliest memory is of being alone in some bushes, barely 3 wks. old, and looking up at a human who heard me crying out.
Until this week none of us knew why I was there or how I got there...then a lizard showed up on our doorstep with a story to tell and a message for me.
The story and photos are shared over 3 blog posts and I invite you to check it out...bring tissues!
Begin here: Friday's Birthday Preview 1: A Mother's Burden and Search for Peace
I have grown a lot since my first profile photo, in Sept. 2015.
I have learned so much from my 2 mentors Sneakers the Texian Tuxedo and Elvira Mistress of Felinity and I love them dearly.
Daddy Kiril has cared for me from the day we met and I love him, too!
Sneakers has been treating this day all serious...and the unexpected visit of the lizard, Guy Ko, only re-enforced that feeling, but, despite this I had other ideas and Elvira and daddy encouraged me in my creativity.
This was my idea. Daddy caught Elvira & Sneakers on camera, over by his books, and I decided to have a little fun with the captions. We have no catnip on hand, except in a couple of toys, but I didn't get 'nipped up last night, honest, hee, hee!
Anyway, settle in for a bit, bring your own 'Nip Tea, treats and kibble, as I celebrate MY way!
Sittin' In the Window All Day by Friday the "Sexy" Bearded Lady
With humble apologies to Otis Redding (Tribute version by street musicians)
Sittin' in the window for fun
I'll be sittin' when home daddy comes
Watchin' the neighbors walk by again and again
Oh, I watch 'em walk by again and again, yeah
I'm sittin' in the window all day
Watchin' the neighbors do their thing, (sexy meow)
I'm just sittin' in the window all day
Wastin' time.
I found my home in Texas
Down the road from Brays Bayou
'Cause I was a kitten alone, nothing to live for
It looked like no one was gonna save the day
My Daddy found me sittin' in some bushes meowing away
Watchin' the cars roll by, (sexy meow)
My Daddy found me sittin' in some bushes meowing away.
Suddenly my life began to change
Everything, when into my life daddy came
I learned what the Texian Tuxedo taught me to do
My life would never be the same, yes.
Sittin' here restin' my bones
My happiness putting me in a zone, yes
Around this apartment I roam
Glad to call it my home
Now I'm just gonna sit, in the window all day
Watchin' the neighbors do their thing, (sexy meow)
And waitin'
Wastin' time (loud purring)
Waitin' for my daddy to come home, hooray!

Sweet Tuxedo By Friday the "Sweet" Bearded Lady (Debuting my 1st adult profile pic!)
With humble apologies to Tim Curry and the whole Rocky Horror Picture Show cast, writers and creators.
How d'you do, say
Hello to my
Loving human and 2 mentors
They’re just a little frazzled because
When you knocked
They thought ... oh, man!
Don’t be surprised by the way that I look
Don't judge a feline by its marking
I may sleep a lot during the day
But by night I'm more rowdy than dogs with their barking.
I'm just a sweet bearded Tuxedo
From Houston, Texasvania, MRROWWWW…
Let me show you my space, maybe lick your face
You look like you're pretty friendly
Or if you want something more active I could race all over the place
Would you find that groovy?
I'm glad you caught me at home
I just knocked over the phone!
Daddy’s computer screen’s a bit blurry
I knocked the keyboard far, across the room, by the bar
But, please, everything will be fine, don’t you worry.
You got caught with a flat, how about that?
Well, bless you sweetheart, don't you panic
By the light of the day, it'll all seem OK
Don’t you fret, Daddy’ll call a mechanic.
I'm just a sweet bearded Tuxedo
From Houston, Texasvania, MRROWWWW…
Why don't you stay for the night?
Maybe a bite and a sip, whee, hee, hee! I’ve got some Temptations and ‘Nip Tea!
I could show you my favorite obsession
I love to chase the red dot all over the room
It makes me dash about, madly, zoom, zoom, zoom!
So good for relieving my... tension.
I'm just a sweet bearded Tuxedo
From Houston, Texasvania,, ha ha
Oh, yeah! I'm just a sweet bearded Tuxedo
From Houston, Texasvania, ha ha…
So, come in to my house
You won’t see nary a mouse
Your visit makes me shiver with antici-
-Pation.
MRROWWWW….
NOTE: Tremendous thanks to...
Dezi, RaenaBelle and mommy Audra High, of Deziz World, for the beautiful rose and heart images to help me celebrate this special day!
Friday, you really know how to have fun! Happy birthday, and it's so awesome to see you so happy and grown up!
