Mr. Darcy's Birthday

In honor of Mr. Darcy's 11th birthday, the boys decided to celebrate by making him a cat treat feeder out of Legos. Here are the results:As you can see, there is a little cup with a sliding lid taped to the top...it holds the cat treats. The boys put a towel on the bottom so Mr. Darcy can snuggle up, if he likes. Very clever!

Here's Kevin "helping" Darcy eat his treats:As you can see, Mr. Darcy seemed to enjoy this contraption very much.

We also made a stop at the local pet store to pick up a few presents, one of which was a laser pointer. Darcy become quite "kittenish" when we broke that one out. He chased that little beam of light all over the house. Endless hours of entertainment for the boys...although I had to remind them several times to "not point it at people's (or animal's ) eyes." (I'm such a mom.)Of course no birthday would be complete without a "birthday cake." Here's what Trevor came up with:
That's a marshmallow (a Mr. Darcy favorite) with a couple cat treats on top. Yum! Anyway, we're glad that Mr. Darcy is a part of our family...we love him very much (even if he can be a bit arrogant and prideful at times!)

What a spoiled cat. It is nice that he has so many people to love him, and that they are willing to do so. I remember when he used to hide from a certain tiny boy...
