15

Sophie turns 15 today. 

Hard to believe. She's been with us more than half the time we've been in Cleveland. 

Soph has been a mean girl to her big sister and "accommodating" of her two brothers over that decade and a half. But he's been a full time love to her two dads. 

There is no aloofness with her, as she is very much a pack animal in this house - and we wouldn't have it any other way. 

She is 15, so she has slowed down. There are no longer leaps from place to place and we have Kitty Kat Staircases® in a few rooms, which she uses expertly.  The ottoman's magically move if she wants to from chair to sofa - as long as one of us are in the room with her. 

And she is a talker - always has been. We call her Yellie. 

I'd say she'll get extra love from us today, but I'm not sure that is humanly possible.
