A Four Paw Birthday!

I felt silly writing a post about our cat Malachi's Birthday. That is until I saw he started getting Happy Birthday messages from my friends on Facebook! He has quite the following;) He turned 4 years old today. It really doesn't seem that long ago that we drove down to Indianapolis to pick him up. He has quite the personality, as Bengals do. He's hyper some days but is so relaxed at night. He is very much a Daddy's boy. Even though I'm the one that feeds him most often, cleans his litter box, and spends most of the day with him! I often think what gives??!

Finding out he was completely blind a few months ago was a very sad day. He does perfectly fine though navigating through the house. There are times though when the poor boy runs into the wall. Out of habit we yell "wall" thinking he can understand us! He has started to learn the commands of us saying left and right. He will turn in whichever direction we say to him. It just makes you feel sad that he can't enjoy watching his birds anymore. We are very happy we ended up with him though. We think of him as our special needs kitty. In no way is he or will he ever be a burden to us. It makes us sad when people give away their pet because of a disability or a controllable sickness. It's one thing if your pet is suffering, but it's a whole other story if it's just because it's a burden to you. Malachi has a darn good life here. He is lucky to have us, as we are him! Happy Birthday Mal!

I thought I would include a few pictures of his crazy life!
