It's Mat's ninth birthday!

Today, April 4, 2011, is Mat's birthday! Hooray! He is turning nine. Nine. Funny huh? And then you realize that "hey- cats have nine lives. Mat's nine today! Is that a coincidence or what?! Ha, ha nine and nine, That's funny. ha, ha, ha. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahag hag cough choke. I can't breathe!" Solution: Don't laugh! Actually, I did some research and I figured out that we got him on his fourth life. He lived to be 800 years old in his last life. Just when he was thinking about being ready to have babies, his wife scared him and he dropped dead...

Mat looked around his house. What could be better than his home, home sweet home. His master Billy took him for walks. I know. Dogs are the ones that are supposed to take walks, but really, he did. The house wasn't rat infested, and he could spend a quiet evening with his wife Eliza. Just then Eliza screamed. Bingo! Mat dead. I did some more research and found out that when Eliza was changing the log for the fire, Mat's friend Le Roy was just dropping by to say hello. He went down the chimney and landed on Eliza. Then she screamed. I mean, of course wouldn't you scream if someone slid down the chimney and fell on you? Well Eliza and Le Roy fell in love so it didn't matter if Mat was dead, did it? Well, the next thing Mat knew was he was drinking milk from his mommy like a baby. Well, he was a baby. At first he didn't understand it, but soon he caught on. He had experiences like this three times before - he was moving to a next life. And that was how he became The Fabulous Mat The Cat. Happy Birthday Mat!
