Much to the chagrin of various chuds who are big mad that I have the audacity to even exist, I made it to 52. I’m also realizing I didn’t make a reference to Area 51 in my post last year on my 51st birthday. Fired, blunder, etc.

Anyway, as usual, I signed up for today’s Day Thread and used Birthday Cat as a header. While I mention it every year, I feel like it’s even more important now to point out that I share a birthday with Edward Jenner, born on this day in 1749, since I was pro-vaccines even in the Before Times. A few other notable figures born today include Sugar Ray Leonard, Enya, and Trent Reznor.

So happy birthday, all you May 17 babies!

Post cat pictures (both here and in the Pet Thread, I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder), and be excellent to each other.
