Magellan Turns Four
It’s hard to believe that the little bundle of fur that I first laid eyes on a few Christmas seasons ago is about to celebrate another year of life, but based on the days of the calendar, my precious Magellan is about to turn four!
Four is a milestone in a Maine Coon’s life. Maine Coons are a slow-maturing breed. Most Maine’s are not considered fully mature until they are four to five years old!
As Magellan transitions from three to four, I can see how he has matured over the years. While he is still a playful kitten at heart, he is not quuite as wild as he used to be – his times of wildness come in more measured doses. His senses are still sharp – he still spots tiny bugs from across the room and is on high alert at the smallest of changes in our environment (in comparison to Tsunami, who has definitely mellowed with age) – but he is more content to just lie in our arms and relax.
Of course, he still has youth flowing through his veins, as evidenced by the frequent prey that he hunts and leaves on our chairs, sofas and beds!
As we begin the countdown to his special day, here are some birthday quotes to ponder:
Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years. – Ausonius
Don’t just count your years. Make your years count. – George Meredith
Youth has no age. – Pablo Picasson
Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start a new year. – Sammy Hagar
The way I see it, you should live every day like it’s your birthday. – Paris Hilton

What a fancy bright pink birdie feather you got there, Magellan! Happy Birthday wishes to you my furr-iend! (inflating kitty cat-shaped balloons & throwing kitty-shaped confetti in the air) How exciting! Being four is super fun, I can recall.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Kevin – I celebrated by breaking one of my parent’s favorite vases (birthday grace!)
Magellan, you get more handsome every year!
Such a gorgeous kitty. I hope he’s a cuddly one.
Happy Birthday to Magellan! I have a four year old cat named Sanai and she has been a cranky old lady from the beginning lol. Enjoy the memories!!! Stopping by from SITS Sharefest!
I never realised they matured so slowly. Have a wonderful birthday, and enjoy all the presents and treats and don’t stop having fun either.

Happy Birthday Magellan,here’s to many more,xx Speedy
Happy Birthday, Magellan. We did not realize that Maine Coon’s were slow to mature; though, we are certain you have mentioned it before. Those four years flew by…at least for us. Sounds like Magellan gifted you with some breakage. Wishing your floofy boy many, many birthdays with lots of “fun” around the house. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
What an amazing cat he is.
Happy Birthday Magellan!
Goodness that young fellow is now 4! Amazing how time flies but he is growing into one regal kitty fur sure. Way to go Magellan
Timmy and Family
Happy Birthday, Magellan! What a wonderful kitty you are! I love all the quotes, but the one from Ausonius really resonates with me. Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring post with us at the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Have a lovely week ahead!

Happy belated birthday, Magellan! Wow! Is that him in that top pic? Has his color changed that much over the years, or is it just a trick of the light? He certainly is a gorgeous young man. I can’t believe he’s four already!
I love all of his antics. It’s always fun to read about what he’s been up to. lol
