Dearest Otto, what a beautiful Angel you are! You are absolutely gorgeous with that grey-black tabby and white fur complete with white gloves and boots! And what a sweet nice round tabby face you have, with those long, LOOOOONG white whiskers and that brick-color nose and those lovely big golden eyes. Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! I wish I could reach through the screen and ..all the way to the Rainbow Bridge! ..and pet you. I can't, of course, but I know the other Angels are all petting you for me .
You lived quite the adventurous life on earth, "a lovable cranky old feral curmudgeon who owned the entire neighborhood ..Cat Country." You first appeared in 2001, "a Mucho Macho Tomcat." You could have been adopted by anyone in the neighborhood, but you chose your independent, feral way of life. Everyone left food for you, and you made the rounds. Over time you mellowed out some, allowing a bit of stroking and petting.
Being a Tomcat, you often visited the ladies. Then one day in May 2008, you decided you wanted to meet the girls across the busy highway. I'm so very sorry that you didn't make it, you were killed on the highway. Gone before your time, and my deepest sympathy to all your family and friends, of all species, who love you and miss you and grieve you so much, all these years.
Now you are a glorious Angel at the Rainbow Bridge, whole and healthy again, watching over all your human and feline friends on earth and sending down love. Please send some Angelic purrrs to their hearts to reassure them that you are with them always and you will all be together again, One Fine Day...
And what a surprise you had in store for your dear friends! Eight months later an adolescent tomcat appeared and proceeded to inspect the premises. He turned out to be a carbon copy of you! Thank you for the lovely photo of him you've shared with us. There is no doubt that you are his ancestor. Now he makes the rounds, getting fed and making friends. What a wonderful legacy you've left!
Congratulations, darling Otto Angel, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope your dear young man and all your friends, human and feline, in Cat Country and all around are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and precious memories and all your favorite Angelic games and treats. We know the other Angels are all rejoicing with you!

I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
