Enchanting Elena

[Romy]

What a touching story! How beautiful you are, Elena. :love:

It was very sad that your little kitten found a home before you and you were left in the shelter, waiting for someone to choose you. :eek: But fortune smiled upon you and your new daddy found a special way of bringing you home early. ;) That your new family loved you so much and did not want you to wait a minute more is wonderful.

And now you are in your furrever home with Minou as your playmate. ELANE, ALENE, EELNA - however you arrange the letters - they spell one very special loved ELENA who is our beautiful COTD!

Hi,

I sent the photo and story of Elena.

Elena walks around just like she knows she's cat of the day... but wait, euh... she always walks around like that! ;)

We also have a dog (who also has been DOTD in the past, see http://dogoftheday.com/archive/2007/January/25.html).
Elena is not only playing with Minou, she also likes to fool around with Lucky and Mitzy.
Besides our 4 cats, we are also taking care of 2 other cats, Shiva and Blew. They are staying with us for 6 month to maybe 2 years because their mom is in the hospital. Their mom often visits them.

Oh my, when I saw Elena's picture, I thought I saw a replica of our own Maya!! And then I noticed that Elena lives in BELGIUM :eek:!!! If I am right, "Beselare" is a small town in the neighbourhood of Ypres!
I will send you an e-mail, David ! Wow, another Flemish speaking Pettalker :)

Hi,

you are right, Beselare is a small town near Ypres!
(and Ypres is also called "the cat-city" with a cat-parade each 3 years)

[nelly35]

It warms my heart to see how many animal lovers are out there in the world.
I feel that many times in my life I would have been lost without a cat by my side. They give more unconditional :love:love than humans are capable of.
Happy COTD!!!!!:love::love::love:

I just love happy endings, and I am so glad Elena ended up with a wonderfully happy ending. :) She is a gorgeous cat and is so lucky to have a great family to fall back on now after spending so long in the adoption centre.

Congratulations on being COTD, Elena!

[Sonia59]

Hi Elena! You are beautiful and, indeed, you look very much like our Belgian Queen Maya ;) Your story is wonderful and I am glad you found such a good home.

It's not very common that owners of Cats of the Day reply to the messages! Welcome to PT, Elena's Daddy! I hope you wil stay among us for a long time and post more about your furry crew :)
I am Sonia and owned by two cats, Peppito, a mackerel tabby of 10 years old, and Jasmine, a black lady of 3 years old.

In addition, we are neighours!!!!! I live on the French side of Ypres, near Steenvoorde. I have been here for more than 4 years now but apparently I missed the famous cat parade :( And I don't think I will see the next, as I will soon move around Paris, too bad!

[tatsxxx11]

Beautiful Elena. I'm not sure who's luckier, you or your dear Mom and Dad...what a beautiful, heavenly match! I was so touched by your Daddy's loving words, his recounting how you came to be! Where to start...a birthday, Christmas Eve, a homeless kitty, a "reserve!":love: Such is the stuff dreams, and happy endings, are made of! That's one special Daddy you have there sweetheart, and all the ladies (and boys!) in his life are lucky to have him on board:love::D And what an extra special treat...your Dad David checked back with us! hehe So, you're but one of two in your family, one of two worthy recipients of our "top" honors!:) Can't wait to check out the links your Dad posted! What a wonderful, loving, happy, fur filled family!:) Hugs and kisses to you and big congrats on your well earned day celebre, beautiful Elena!!! I hope you and your human, and the entire furry pack, included but not limited to, Mouchka, Mitzy, Lucky, Shiva and Blew, are all enjoying a most joyful and love filled Cat of the Day! Long and happy life to you, and all of your furred sibs, precious Elena girl!:love:
