Dearest Jersey (formerly known as Teton) and and Holstein (formerly known as Lapsa), what a beautiful pair of kitties (not cows) you are! Jersey, you're a gorgeous Brown Tabby gentleman (my gorgeous brown Tabby lady Tinker says "Hello, Meow!"), and Holstein, what a stunning Dilute Tortie lady you are! Thank you for sharing that great photo with us. Your sweet natures and your affection for each other comes through so well in it. Your soft-looking fur coats are so pretty, and you have the sweetest faces with those lovely big eyes so full of love and contentment. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Fairborn, Ohio to pet you both! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Dad Roger will pet you for me
.
And what a terrific story you have to tell! On October 7, 2013, your dear Dad-to-be had suddenly lost his beloved Newton, near her 14th birthday after being with him since she was a tiny kitten. After grieving her for two months and a day, your Dad-to-be went to the Chasing Daylight Animal Shelter (CDAS) in Tomah, Wisconsin. The shelter had rescued two groups of cats and kittens from desperate circumstances and brought them to safety and back to good health. You two stood out among the kitties your new Dad met, and you all adopted each other and went Home together! We thank Dad for choosing rescue, and we thank those fine people and kitties of CDAS for saving and sheltering you and so many other kitties so you and Dad could meet and become a family!
Holstein, you were the larger kitten, but Jersey overtook you in size as you grew up. You started life in Wisconsin and later moved with Dad after he retired and moved back home to Ohio. He gave you your names to celebrate your origins in the Dairy State. You kitties are now both seven-and-a-half-years-old! You have brought great comfort to Dad in his grief over losing Newton, and you bring him constant joy. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Holstein and Jersey, on being chosen today's Cats of the Day! We hope you and your dear Dad Roger and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. We know that Newton Angel is rejoicing with you at the Rainbow Bridge!

All of us here can relate to the indescribable heartbreak a pet parent experiences at the loss of a much loved furkid. But then came you two, and before long the light and joy had returned to your Daddy's days; his heart healing! No denying the fact that you two rescued him every bit as he did you! 
); feasting on your fave foods and treats; being loved to the max and spoiled to bits! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Jersey and Holstein, our very special and most deserving Cats of the Day, EVERY day!!!
