HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY LITTLE BUDDY!
Some of the greatest things about you:
1. You're incredibly smart! You know how to turn on the lights in the middle of the night in order to wake us up and play.
2. You know how to cool things down. When it gets a little warm in the house, you just flip on the light switch that controls the fan, then lie on your back right underneath it and fall asleep.
3. Your meow is more like a squeak! Duke sometimes we can't even hear you when you need something... we know you are trying to meow because your mouth moves but nothing comes out!
4. Although your voice is quiet, your feet are not. We know exactly where you are in the house, anytime of the day.
5. You're very obedient when it comes to table manners. You always sit upright on the chair, and fold your arms at the counter! What a good boy.
6. You save us money on fly swatters. Not only do you make it incredibly amusing to watch while you body slam flies against the walls, but you also always catch them!
7. The way you snuggle at night, always next to daddy.
8. How you prefer to drink water. I think most kitties drink straight out of a bowl, but you like to drink it out of the tap...while it's running. It's so funny to see water drip from off your face!
9. You also love to play in water! If the sink is full of water, you'll bury your arms in it and then shake off your paws so the water sprinkles the mirror... it's fun to see those water spots, we think of you every time.
10. You try so very hard to climb trees, and your getting better. But you do make sitting out on the porch much more amusing when you run, jump on the tree trunk, then slide all the way down because you just can't hold on.
Duke we LOVE you. We have been ready to build our family for awhile now, but most of the time life doesn't exactly go as we hope or plan. Thank you for being such a joy in our home, you turn every sad or stressful day completely upside down!
You make my heart melt, just like daddy does.
xoxo

That is one talented kitty! I love how much you love him. Thinking of you. -mc
Just yesterday my friend and her family was over at my house. It was just minuets into the visit when a little three year old found a plastic bag hiding behind our sofa. I smiled because I finally knew where Duke hid that bag last time he was here. :)
I love that cat of yours!!! He really is a very smart and sweet cat. You two take such good care of him and I know that you will be wonderful parents.
We love Duke. Can we have him? :)
Oh what a sweet little kitty. I can't believe he can turn your lights/fan on and off. So smart. Are you going to teach him to use the toilet next? J/K Duke is a lucky little cat to have you and Shane as parents. You are going to be such great parents! Miss you guys!
