Dapper Dexter

Dear Dexter, what a handsome shorthair boy you are. :love::love::love: Your sleek coat looks so soft and your face is adorable.
Your pictures are great. I love how proudly you are wearing your Christmas tie!
You have quite an unusual story to tell. Your human smuggled you in the bedroom window, since the family wasn't asked if they wanted a kitty. You were found out 2 weeks later, and here you are, 16 years later and still going strong.
You are a brave soul, standing up to dogs, and you still have spurts of kitten energy. You also like to cuddle, and, of course, you like to hear how handsome you are.
Dexter, you are a precious senior kitty, and I wish you and your family a great day full of celebration, and many more happy and healthy years together.

Dexter is to die for! What a awsome looking, sleek black cat. No onder you love Dexter so much, he also has the sweetest face. Just an all 'round perfect cat in every way!!

Congratulations on being honoured as Cat of the Day, Dexter!

What a handsome and sweet boy you are, Dexter. Your shiny black coat is beautiful and so are your golden eyes. I LOVE the picture with your tie on, you look SO sweet!

You were sneaked in through your mom’s window at a young age, and no one else in the family knew you were there, until two weeks later. Of course they fell in love with you, too and you lived them for 16 years! :) And what a wonderful life you have there, being loved and spoiled as you deserve.

It sounds like you are quite the cuddle bug, and your content purring can heard across the room. I bet your mom loves to tuck in where ever you choose to sleep. :)

I see you have another kitty to hang out with, too, but if dogs get a little too friendly, you will stand up to them - brave boy you are! :cool:

Enjoy a day of celebration and cuddles, get pampered with your favourite treats and lots of love! I send you kisses and wish you good health, love and happiness for the rest of your life, sweetheart! :love:

Hi Dexter! Happy Cat of the Day!:)

What a handsome, dashing and dapper, sleek and shiny panther boy you are, Dexter! Hard to believe you're 17 years young, Dexter! You don't look, or act, half your age; a kitten at heart! That said...

I got Dexter 16 years ago while I was in high school. The family had never had cats, and I didn't ask if they wanted one. I ended up sneaking Dexter in through my bedroom window one afternoon, and he lived in my room unnoticed for over two weeks! By the time my mom found him, my family had no choice but to accept him.

I like your mom's style!:p No easy feat, keeping a kitty hidden from the parents for even a few days! Have to admit, my brother and I secreted more than a few kitties and critters into the house back in the day!:D But honestly, after having laid claims to your digs after those first couple of weeks, how could your mom's parents say no! And how well you've repaid your mom's guts and tenacity, her devotion, bringing so much love to her life these past many years, with hopefully many more yet to come! How lucky she is, having a beautiful, loyal and loving fur son in you! You truly are a treasure, Dexter, one in a million, a Cat of a Lifetime!

Thanks for ending my day with a BIG smile, sweetheart! Meeting you this evening, seeing your heart-melting photos, learning of the unbreakable bond you and your mommy share, has been pure joy! Hope you're in the midst of a very special Cat of the Day celebration...cuddling with your mom, sharing your day with her, purring your heart out, being loved and pampered to pieces! Tons of love, snuggles and smooches to you, precious Dexter, our very special and most deserving Cat of the Day, EVERY day!:love::love::love:

Me and my mom!!!

Dearest Dexter, what a stunning black beauty you are! You are absolutely gorgeous in all those great photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. They capture so many different looks and moods, all of them PURRRfect! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Madison to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me :).

And what a terrific story you have to tell! 16 years ago your Purrrson-to-be sneaked you into the house through the bedroom window! You lived there unnoticed for two weeks, when you were discovered. At that point your new family had no choice but to accept you, and there you've been ever since. You have a delightful Purrrsonality! You're not afraid of anything, standing up to dogs that get too friendly. You love to be tucked in wherever you choose to nap. You love cuddling with your dear Purrrson and being talked to, especially being told how handsome you are. You and he/she love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Dexter, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. May you all enjoy many more happy and healthy years together!

Hello, Dexter up in beautiful Wisconsin! Happy Cat of the Day!

What a handsome senior gentleman you are! Your fur looks so plush and shiny, and soft to pet! Precious panther kitty, that's you!

Your special person brought you indoors through a bedroom window ;) and you were there for two weeks! Then your family learned you had moved in, and you were there to stay! Now you are a specialist at purring and receiving cuddles- although you still have your kitten moments! You are a good conversationalist, especially when someone says how handsome you are! Best of all, you are greatly loved :love:!

Happy, happy Cat of the Day - Cat of a Lifetime - to precious Dexter!
