Lucy turns seven years old today. We met when she was just 1 month and 1 day old on September 25, 1997. My boyfriend at the time was a big fan of Lucille Ball and so our new cat was named after her. Lucy is the sweetest, most affectionate cat I've ever known. She tries to make me happy when I'm sad, she purrs when I enter the room, and we keep each other company when no one else wants to. She's a pet of course, but (silly as this may sound) she's also a wonderful friend. Heck, she's been my friend longer than many people have, and she's been around longer than any relationship has lasted. So here's a birthday wish for my cat, and I hope for many more to come.
