One year ago this evening, Motor Man found a tiny, quivering gray ball of fur behind our shop.
This was the first picture we took of her.
Since then, I’ve shared many photos of our sweet Gypsy girl, including this one, which made it into our local paper.
Due to a “scheduling conflict”, which prevented us from celebrating today, we had a little Gypsy’s Gotcha Day party yesterday. The humans had cupcakes, and while Gypsy didn’t have any, she was required to inspect and approve of them.
Pictures with her humans were taken, including an attempted re-enactment of the one with her and Motor Man.
With her buddy, Marshall.
And her Motor Mommy.
Our Gotcha Day gift to Gypsy was this little goldfish, which, when batted around, makes what is supposed to be a “glub-glub” sound. (Gypsy’s three humans decided that it sounded more like an engine trying to start. Purrhaps we should call it the Motor Fish.) Gypsy agreed to have her photo taken with it.
And even gave in to temptation to play with her newest toy.
Happy Gotcha Day, Gypsy! You’ve made lots of friends this year, and we’re happy to have you as our official shop greeter and member of our family.

Glad to have you as a part of my family, Gypsy! Happy Gotcha day!
What a great day for everyone. So glad you adopted Motor Mom and Motor Man as your forever parents! Since you’re the official greeter at the shop, I think your title should be Motor Kitty!!
Happy Gotcha Day Gypsy! Your picture on the box with little Motor Fish cracks me up!
I bet Gypsy’s motor was running loudly at that party 🙂 MJ
Too cute!! At first I thought Motor Man was even wearing the same shirt – then I noticed the one in the current pic has stripes just like Gypsy:) BTW….Gypsy is one lucky kitty:)
Gypsy is living the life, isn’ t she??? She is beautiful and I love the picture and re=enactment pictures with Motor Man!! Perfect!!! Happy Gotcha Day!
Happy Gotcha Day, Motor Kitty. We’ve enjoyed following you around. Thank you for greeting us too, and all the smiles.
Gypsy is simply the cutest little thing.

Aww It’s been a year already! Doesn’t time fly! Gypsy has grown into such a beautiful feline!
She grew up to be a very pretty lady!
GOTCHA !!
Happy gotcha day, Gypsy! HMC used to have a small stuffed fish that he would carry around in his mouth everywhere! LOL
Absolutely charming. But I can tell Motor Man is awake in that second picture. He can just barely keep a straight face!! Love it.
Happy gotcha day, Gypsy! It looked like you enjoyed it!!
What a lean and intelligent looking cat. She came into your home with a plan, which it looks like she has accomplished beyond her wildest dreams. How many cats get a cake for their birthday? Despite having a birthday the same as my own, I have yet to say Happy Birthday to my unfortunate feline.
Happy Gotcha day Gypsy! Wonderful pictures of everyone 🙂
She’s one sweet and lucky little cat. Happy “Gotcha Day” Gypsy. May you have many more.
She is so sweet!
It is little late but Happy Gotcha Day❤️
Happy Gotcha Day, Gypsy! Celebrate well, you’ve made a lot of us humans lives alot happier by your adopting Motor Mommy & Motor Daddy as your forever family and sharing your life on Motor Mommy’s blog. Thank you sweety, you’re gorgeous. (((hugs)))
I can’t believe it’s been a year already. Happy Gotcha Day, Gypsy!
I don’t know who is luckier or more blessed-but it does not matter-you all love Gypsy and she sure loves you right back. What a wonderful day she had and a beautiful life she leads.
