Noel

[Medusa]

What a gorgeous feline you are, Noel! And at nineteen you don't look a day over 6 or 7 years old! I'd be grouchy looking, too, if I had to wear antlers but if it keeps your human happy, whatever, right? Clearly, you've led a good life and are happy and healthy and I wish you many, many more happy and healthy years. Enjoy your day as COTD, pretty girl.

Noel (appropriate name), you are adorable; I'm still laughing over the antler picture! You give me hope for my 15 year young kitty. Enjoy your life, enjoy the holidays, and happy COTD. Maybe someday you'll forgive your former "sister" for leaving you.

Noel you look mav-a-lous daling in your reindeer antlers!!! And gorgeous without them too!!!

It was sweet of you to wear them long enough for your mommy to get a picture of you to share with us. I hope you are being royally spoiled today. You deserve to be after all!!!

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our special Cat of the Day!!!

Noel, What a pretty girl you are (and pretty name)! Maybe I should say "lady" at your age of 19-- that in itself is an accomplishment. Obviously you are loved & your human has taken great care of you during the years. I hope you have some good years left together. Congrats on being COTD! Kay in NC

I don't blame you for being miffed. NO elderly lady cat should be subjected to the indignity of reindeer antlers at Christmas! Don't they know that you're a worshipper of Goddess Bastet?

Anyway, enjoy your special day, pretty lady.

Happy Cat of the Day to you, precious Noel! How fitting that we should have a joyful "Noel" as one of our holiday season honorees! What a beautiful, youthful 19 years young you are, Noel! Like others have said, had your Mommy not let the cat of the bag (), I wouldn't have guessed you a day over 6 or 7! And your coloring, your coat is simply gorgeous (love that touch of orange on your head), and your markings don't make you look a bit grumpy! hehe Now you may be stilling holding a bit of a grudge for you skin sister having "left you," but I'd like to consider it more of a transition to a new, very important job, that of being a best buddy and mentor to your skin brother! How lucky he is to have you as his best friend! All told, you have been one amazing, devoted, loving family member these many, many years, and your humans so very blessed to have you in their lives! And extra kudos to you Noel, for patiently posing in those adorable antlers...my Oliver allows them on his head for all of 10 seconds!

I hope you're enjoying a very happy day, sweetheart, celebrating your well earned reign as our most deserving Cat of the Day, being spoiled rotten! And I wish for you and your wonderful family, a very Merry Christmas, with many more yet to come! Love and gentle hugs to you, precious Noel!

Dear Friend,
I pray the Lord blesses you for taking such good care of Noel all these years. She's become an elderly lady kitty now but still has plenty of years left. Lots of kitties live will into their twenties, especially if they remain indoors all the time. Outdoor kitties are subject to so many dangers; it's just not worth it to let them out. They'll do fine indoors.
I had a small Siamese named Prissy who lived to be 17 years old. She was a sweet little kitty who could slip into one's lap so easily you'd never know when she got there. You just sort of looked won and there she was.
We have a 15 year old kitty now, named Erin, nicknamed "The Mouser", yet she's never seen a mouse. She got the name when she was a kitten. I was in the kitchen, which was darkened at the time, looked down and saw this tiny kitten with big ears looking up at me and I said, "Where'd this mouse come from in here?" and it sort of stuck with her. She'll answer to Erin and Mouser, either one.
We also have a 10 year old male kitty, neutered, of course (all our pets are "fixed"), named Tweeder, AKA "Twee-Twee". He's a tuxedo kitty, a gray striped tabby over white. He and Erin don't mesh very well at times. If she doesn't start it, he does, and always late at night or early i the morning. The water spray bottle set on stream breaks it up handily when words don't work...
May the Lord bless and keep you, my friend, you and all your loved ones. May Noel live many, many more years with you, in good health and great happiness. Thanks again for sharing her with us.
I know it's politically incorrect but I'm still going to wish you a very "Merry Christmas" along with a happy new year. May your deepest dreams come true this coming year and if you happen not to have asked the Lord Jesus to forgive you of your sins and be your Lord, I pray you do that as well, for a life in Jesus is the best life there is. Organized religion just doesn't have it. HE is the source of all LIFE.
My love to all in Jesus,

Such a cutie! And don't feel bad about wearing those reindeer antlers...I had to wear a pair at work last week - lol!
Enjoy the season, and your life!

Dear Noel, you do a PERFECT portrayal of a cat who has antlers stuck on her head! Your expression is universal, timeless, and priceless!

Congratulations on being Cat Of The Day! What a fantastic, 19-year-old?!!, sweet kitty you are, with your wonderful family who've had you from your earliest days until now and who love you so dearly.

God bless you all.

What a charming cat. I have a senior as well and he gets a little cranky in his old age. Sweet though she is, I must sympathize. Even I would frown with antlers on. I believe that cats are empathic and they sense when we are unhappy, unwell or generally in need of a cat's special attention. It seems that Noel has found her calling in your family with your son. Lovely to see her so well cared for.

When I was growing up one of our cats loved my eldest brother; he would sit in the music room when my brother was playing and practicing his flute. When my brother moved out, the cat wanted nothing more to do with him. In fact when he came to visit the cat would run for another part of the house. My brother was most hurt, but just like Noel, I don't think our cat forgave my brother for moving out of the house.

Congratulations on being cat of the day.
