Queen Marmie Celebrates  Queen Marmie Twenty-one year old Marmie who shares her birthday with Prince William.  Couple Simon and Kaity Grant held their own special 21st birthday celebration on the 21st of June, 2003.Pictured right: Marmie when she was just a little kitten. Their pet cat Marmie, who was born on the same day as Prince William also celebrated 21 years this year - or 147 cat years! Their unusual ginger coloured female feline, who was aptly born on the longest day of the year, won over the couple's hearts many years ago. Said Kaity: "She was born in a stable on Prince William's birthday and I was asked if I could take her because she desperately needed a home. I wasn't a great cat lover but I fell in love with her and so did my husband and she has been part of the family ever since." A cat tends to live an average age of 12 years. Marmie's grand old age is a rare achievement and did not go unmarked, there were celebrations at the couple's home. Added Kaity: "She is the center of our world. She is a really special cat."  |
