Hello friends and thank you for popping by for Casper and Archie's Gotcha Day celebration!

| Ben and Jimmy help celebrate their brother's Gotcha Day |
Please help yourselves to food while I tell a little story.
Don't forget cake
And a niptini
Now, are we sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...
On February 9, 2008 I went to visit my friend Pauline who rescues cats. She had told me there was a beautiful white cat (nine months old) that was staying with her and I had to come and see him. Now Pauline
always has cats coming and going from her house so of course I went over to visit, just like I had done on previous occasions...only this time I fell in love!! About twenty minutes after I met Casper and was so obviously smitten, Robert looked and me and said "Do you want him?" Of course I wanted him, but we had no carrier (I held him in my arms), no litter box, no food bowls or kitten food for him. I said to Robert "We are completely unprepared" and he replied with a smile "Who cares?"

| Casper Day One |
Now, fast forward two years on to February 9, 2010. Robert and I had just returned from visiting my brother in England and out of the blue he said to me "I think we should get another cat." Now you must remember after Casper we got Benjamin and before Casper we already had Molly, so we were a three cat family. He reasoned that cats make me happy so why not get another and because one never knows what life holds, it is silly to put things off. I happily agreed with his logic so off we went to the shelter. Young Master Archie (who was not named that at the time) sat quietly at the front of his cage and stole our hearts with his happy little ginger face.

Happy Gotcha Day Casper and Archie xxx
I can't imagine two kitties who are happier about being Gotcha'ed! They get so much love and kitty care, not to mention toys and kitty treats. Isn't it cool the way cats 'adopt' each other and become friends for life?
Happy Gotcha Day Casper and Archie!!!
Enjoy the feast!
Oh Prince Casper I didn't know today was your special day. I shall always remember it. Happy Gotcha Day my sweet prince. ~Kisses Artemisia
Happy Gotcha Day Archie & Casper.

Happy, happy Gotcha day to Casper and Archie and many, many more to come - we love all you boys.
Thank you for inviting us to your party - there is so much food we are spoilt for choice so maybe we will sip a nipitini while we decide what to have first.
Awww . . . . such a lovely story Cat, thanks for sharing it, and gorgeous pics too. I love the one of Casper on the sofa chillin' out!
Happy Gotcha Day to Archie and Casper xx
A big Happy Gotcha day to you two handsome dudes. The party looks terrific. We are going to dig into the cake. We don't get that very often. Hope you two have a wonderful day and many many more. Take care.
Sweet! Happy Gotcha Day, Casper and Archie! Thanks for sharing the story and the pictures and for inviting us all to your wunnerful pawty :).
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, and Holli
Happy, happy Gotcha Day to Casper and Archie! Great hubby, too, who says, Honey, we need another cat. LOL.
We hope you boys have a FABULOUS day!
Happy Gotcha Day you handsome mancats!!!!! We are looking forward to celebrating many, many, many more gotcha days with you.
xxxxxxxx
Happy Gotcha Day Casper and Archie! PURRhaps is was no coincidence, but a happenstance of synchronicity that you were both gotcha'd on the same day (though two years apart)! I think you certainly both ended up where you belong.
Dante, Dylan and Domino are all on their way over to help you celebrate, and they're bringing a case of tuna to share.
Rock on, kitty dudes! And here's to many, many healthy and happy years with your family.
That was a great story. Happy Gotcha Day Casper & Archie. Loved the niptinis...mom loved the cake. Oh - and she would like to know if Robert has a brother....
The very best Happy Gotcha Day ever to two of the cutest mancats around!! This is one fine party. You show do know how to put a good spread out.
Happy Gothca Day!
Aw, what a nice story. I love the photos of the boys and your comment about Archie's happy ginger face. Happy Gotcha Day to you boys!

Happy Gotcha Day Archie and Casper! Sorry we are a little late to the party, but didn't want to miss it! We love your Gotcha stories, but of course we're suckers for a happy ending!
Sorry we are so late to say:
HAPPY GOTCHA DAY!!
Wonderful story and wonderful brothers! Happy Gotcha Day, boys!
Aww,, I just love seeing them snuggle together. That's always the sweetest.
Sounds like a "meant to be" gotcha day for each. My favorite photo (although it is really hard to pick just one!) is Casper in his early days - with those manly sized back paws and the beautiful floof tail.
Happy One Day Late Gotcha Day!!
We hope it was a swell party!! Your gotcha stories are so great. Mommy says your Daddy is a good'un...her highest praise.
Hi Cat,
Angel here; you asked about the background,,, I change them pretty often for multiple reasons. I get bored easily ....lol no,,, really. Plus it keeps things Fresh, and there are so many fun backgrounds out there,just another way of being Artistic.They change at least monthly. Although I did like the last one, so I'll probably use it again :~) Thanks for stopping by.
Your little Babies are sooo Beautiful ;~)
Happy Gotcha Day ~
So so lovely story :-)
Great to see both brothers
they are so cute together !!!
Happy happy Gotcha day
Hugs Kareltje =^.^= Betsie >^.^<
Great story! Happy gotcha day!
Sorry we are late in wishing you handsome mancats a happy Gotcha Day! We were away, and just returned late last night ... and are now playing catch up with our visiting.
We hope you boys had a wonderful day, and we wish you many, many, many more Gotcha Days. :)
What a beautiful story, much happiness and it appears another one!

Casper and Archie - Happy Gotcha Day (three days late). Had a little surgery to contend with - something that got scheduled rather quickly. We at the daily dose are just getting back to things. Love your stories. Love you and your whole family!
Awww... we love the photos and we love their stories. We hope your furry family keeps growing and growing because you have so much love in your heart to give.
~Slash & Bronzy
PS. Happy Valentine's Day!!! *purr*

Hi Ben!! I have a Valentine's Card for you on my Blog!!
Hugs & Kisses,
Clemmie
OK, we're late for this, but better late than never!! We love your story!! And those pics of you guys are soooo sweet!! I can't believe you guys got along so well so quickly!! I've been living with Tiny for over 11 YEARS and still she won't cuddle up to me (or let me cuddle up to her) like that!! Maybe you were lost brothers that were miraculously put back together!! If you weren't, you sure look like you could be...we hope you have lots and lots of gotcha days ahead of you...you are both incredibly handsome dudes!! Purrs from another handsome dude (if I may say so myself!), Lautrec (yeah, and Tiny and our dawg Wood-something-or-other.
