Goro's 3rd Birthday


On May 30, Goro will turn 3 years old.


As the big day approaches, I noticed something...


He's got a smell of...uh, it's hard to specify what this is.
It's kind of a familiar smell but not usual for him. It is...


He does! He smells like a middle-aged man!

But why?

Did you eat something weird, Goro?
Let me check your tummy.


Is it a bad breath? No, Goro's breath smells nice
as he gets his teeth brushed regularly (against his will.)


Do cats get aging odor? I don't know, but even so,
Goro is going to be only 3 years old.

Maybe we should take him to the V-E-t...

Seriously, my worries kept growing.
I told his Dad about this strange smell.

Me: "Goro smells like 40-year-old man.
I don't know why."

Dad: "Yeah, it's my smell."

Me" "What?"

Dad: "My new aftershave cream. Goro rubs
up against my chin all the time."

Me: "Ah....."


Mystery solved.

I guess the smell of aftershave on Goro unconsciously
reminded me of his dad, who is forty-something years old.


Now free from worry, we celebrated early birthday
for Goro with special dinner and lots of toys.


Happy birthday to our daddy's boy :-)

  5. Actually, the conversation went, mom, "goro smells like a 40 year old man." Dad, "maybe because he rubs his face on a 40 year old man."

  10. Dearest Tamago,

    This is a GREAT post! You know, some of our cats do the very same with Pieter and smell like wearing after shave. Isn't cat behavior precious. They LOVE to smell like their human parents. Your Goro boy is a happy cat for having a set of loving parents. As for he teeth brushing, I would not be able to do that, besides seven mouths would be too many.
    Enjoy your two fur babies and let's hope they will live to see many more happy years to come and you with them.
    Love,
    Mariette

  12. Happy Early Birthday, Goro! O-Three is a fabulous age...

    Do you know what we smell like? Daddy's cherry chap stick! He kisses us--it's humiliating even though we shoot fur into his mouth.

  18. Happy BIRTHDAY dear Goro..the big 03 is a great accomplishment. Your birthday is one day after my human brother's birthday, which is of course May 29th.

    You had me concerned about you for a little while Goro but now I know you are just smelling like your daddy.

    Love and kisses,

  32. Hi Tamago,
    do you hear me laughing? Your post is so cute! Oh my, may be you should gift Goro his own aftershave. Or buy your husband that kind of aftershave you want to smell on him AND Goro. Such a cute photo when Goro rubs his skin on your hubby. Cats are cute, aren't they? Love it.
    Best greetings, Johanna
