Never knew his official birthday but we got him as a little kitten towards the end of Feb 1997 so we chose Jan 1st 1997 as his birthday.

With that in mind - happy 18th Paddy cat :smt113

In Flickr click on the photo you want.

Click on the share button (the bent arrow)

Select the image size you want then just right click copy the BBCode.

In Catsey just click on the Insert Image icon and paste the BBCode in to that.

Geeze, he looks fantastic for his age. As a matter of fact, he looks fantastic if he were a younger age too, looks great. Happy B-day you handsome hunk. :-)
What do you feed him, or do you do anything special for health? I just can't believe how well taken care of he is.

He was the youngest of our original 4 cats (Chippy, Murphy, Bramble & Paddy) which arrived as kittens between 1995 and 1997 but he's now reached an older age than they did.

In terms of his health - he's pretty good. Still jumps walls, climbs fences and catches stuff. He's free to come and go but probably spends more time indoors than he used to.

At the moment I'm letting him out and calling him in myself as the flap is still shut for Casper.

Food wise - nothing special. He gets the usual Felix / Whiskas tins or pouches and he also gets Go Cat biscuits again no specific brand. Butchers tinned meat is his favourite which is cheaper.

He still has very good teeth too - if I didn't know his age I'd think (from his teeth) that he was much younger than he is.

Hopefully he will keep going for a while yet although that said the other 3 were pretty good and then went quite suddenly.
