Adorable Austen!

[Pinot's Mom]

Austen, what a sweetheart you are, and what a lovely story! I am so glad to make your acquaintance this morning! You've had a great life with your human companions and I hope you're with them for a long time to come!!:)

Happy COTD, honey, you are a very deserving recipient and an adorable kitty! Have a wonderful day!:love:

Dear Friend,
May the Lord bless you for the care and love you've given Austen. It's obvious because of his longevity. Twenty years is a long run for a kitty but I've heard of some who go as long as twenty-five. Right now, we have a kitty, Erin, who is going to be sixteen this summer and her friend Tweeder is going to be eleven. Erin is a gray dilute tortoise shell. Tweeder is a tuxedo gray tabby. They fight quite often and it's not at all friendly when they do. Erin usually starts it; she just looks at him and it's like, "You get on my last nerve, you know that?" and there they go, with big, ol' Tweeder running slowly from her, hissing and growling, finally getting up on a chair or something like that and going on from there. If we don't break it up, Erin will keep picking at him for a good twenty minutes and the fact that she likes to start this junk very early in the morning or at bed time doesn't do anything for my nerves. Still, I love them both very much.
I pray Austin stays with you for a long time yet. May the Lord keep him well.
My love to all in my Blessed Savior, Jesus,
Jim Grayson

Hi Austen! A very, very happy Cat of the Day to you, precious boy!:) What a treat, having a beautiful and most deserving senior citizen as our very special honoree!:) You may have passed the two decade mark, but I have to say Austen, you still have that youthful glow about you; such a handsome boy!

I'm all teary, Austen, thinking of the 20 amazing years you and your family have shared; the countless cherished memories you've made and the many happy birthday celebrations (like the one depicted in your top photo) you all have enjoyed! A birthday chicken?:D Way to celebrate!!!

I do hope this finds you doing well, sweetheart, that today you and your family will be enjoying a happy and love filled day, with many more wonderful years of shared love and companionship to come! You're not only worthy of the title Cat of the Day, sweetheart, you're Cat of a Lifetime! A million little kisses and gentle hugs to you, precious Austen! It was truly an honor, having the opportunity to pay tribute to the very special furkid you are, and all that you mean to your family!:love::love::love:

How lovely to have your companion for 20 years. My beloved Zoe was with me for 18 years and having a geriatric cat is really rather special. Enjoy COTD Austen!

Happy COTD - may you enjoy many laps and affection today.:):love:

OMG that face. I just want to kiss it all day. What a cutie pie you are.

[CultureJunky]

Wow! Austen you have to me one of the most adorable cats that has ever been on cat of the day ever ever ever! What a sweet little face. I just want to cwtch you to bits!

Enjoy your milestone, little gorgeous man.
We lost our 19 year old one year ago, and know the joys that owning an elderly cat bring. You may not play anymore, but who cares, you're way to wise for that now. I hope you enjoy your cuddles with your parents, they can give one for your for me too, and lots of smooches on that cute little face of yours.

You are a cute lil' thing, Austen. I hope that for you, everyday a birthday party! Congrats on being COTD! :love::love::love:

What a beautiful boy you are, and how wonderful for your people to have had you for so long. They love you very much and whatever they are doing must be the right thing for you. I want to tell them about a product I recently discovered called "Tripsy" made by www.petwellbeing.com. It is for kidney problems in cats, which claims a lot of the older kitties. Just in case they ever need it for you. I so wish I would have known about it six years ago when my beautiful boy TJ died from kidney disease. He was 17 years old, and I would have given anything to have had a few more years with him. I read the reviews on it, and they sound really good, so that's just an FYI for them or anyone who might be dealing with kidney disease. God Bless you Austen, and many more years of happiness to you and your Momma and Poppa.:love:
