Happy 1st Birthday to ROBIN, THE BÉBÉ CAT

May 9, 2020 by WendyB

Robin the kitten turned one today! Normally, we’d get him a real cupcake to pose with (before eating it ourselves) but with the Two Little Red Hens bakery closed due to COVID-19, emojis will have to do.

… we purrsist in calling him by his original nickname, “Baby.” I often forget that he is “Robin” at all, which is remarkable, considering all the thought I put into that name. However, when I remember that he’s “Robin,” I feel full of love for funny squish-faced animals and the people who appreciate them.

While birthday cupcakes weren’t available, a custom sketch by the highlarious Daily Purr Instagram account was. Behold!

My No. 1 recommendation for getting through quarantine is surrounding yourself with adorable animals. (Ample supplies of white wine are a bonus.)

Meowmie and I haz decided dat #bebecat will be named Robin after Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Da nickname for Robert was Robin. Robert was da boyfriend of Elizabeth I and she wuvved him a lot! Me and my brofurs have Tudor names. Henry da Peke = Henry VIII. @fitzroy_the_cat = illegitimate son Henry FitzRoy. Edward da Peke = Edward VI. I was named after Anne Boleyn’s favorite dog (boo!) Meowmie wanted to name da bebe wif a lot of love in honor of all da love dat #catstagram showed me after I flew to da 🌈 … even doe at @callyncats dey call him “Hamster” 😹 #thewinkingcat #beberobin #ittybittykitty #kittengif #tudors #robertdudley #earlofleicester #elizabethan #exoticshorthair #catsvideos #catstagram #robinthewinkingcat #wink #bestmeow @bestmeow @cats_of_instagram

Thank you to Callyn Cats for this incredible purrsonality who has learned to poop in the bathtub just like his angel brother Purrkoy. It’s nice when one can interpret a bathtub poop as a loving sign from the beyond!
