Today is Athena’s birthday! Or, estimated birthday at least, according to the info we got when we adopted her. Either way, my cuddly baby kitty is one year old, and it seems like a good excuse for an Athena picture extravaganza!

My very first picture of Athena!

mmm...kitten chow!

cuddling on the night I brought her home

her first recorded fight with Zephyr

enjoying the warm electronic glow...

taking a little cat-nap

exploring the bathtub

if only she liked the tub so much during her actual bathtime...

ooh, a box!

Athena checks out the new wine...

kitty cave!

Athena loves luggage

Athena explores the top o' the closet...

...and resists Chuck's attempts to get her down!

Her official blue-eyed birthday portrait!

Taking a birthday nap on her favorite rug.
So happy birthday to my blue-eyed half-Siamese darling! (Siamese cat love inspired by Lady and the Tramp and also The Cat Who… series.)
