Our own Phoenix!!!

[phesina]

... is today's Cat of the Day! I was so sorry to learn of your early locale (I can't call it a "home"). Now you are deeply loved and cherished and have a wonderful home with a family who love you so very much, just as you deserve.

Congratulazioni, buona bellissima gatta!

Poor, pretty girl; how anyone can mistreat an innocent animal I'll never understand; how disgusting some "humans" can be. I am SO happy you two found each other; I loved your statement about waking up with your eyeballs in another room; you have a great sense of humor. And lovely Phoenix, I wish the HAPPIEST COTD to you Sweetie; of all the cats I've read about over the years, you seem to deserve it most.

Phoenix, you are such a beautiful mini-black panther, I love your green eyes. Happy COTD! Robin

Phoenix, pretty girl, your new name fits you so well. Not that the old one was totally bad but any cat can be called "Little blackie".
We are very glad that you could leave that life behind and live the privileged life of a Pet Talk kitty.
Congratulations on being our Cat of the Day today:)

Looking into your big, beautiful eyes this morning Phoenix, I could not begin to imagine how anyone could harm you:(. However, knowing what you have endured dear girl I so admire your ability to let all that go and look for the good and the love there is to be had. Congratulations not only on being Cat of the Day but for being the wonderful, loving girl that you are. Enjoy being spoiled today - you deserve it all.

[MoonandBean]

What a beautiful write up! I'm so happy Phoenix is in the loving home of such an obvious cat lover.

[cassiesmom]

Bellissima gatta Phoenix! I did not know the story of your difficult start in life. How wonderful that your meowmie gave you love and care, and now you are able to enjoy being cared about and treasured. What a beautiful, shiny coat you have and such bright eyes! Could you please allow her to give you some gentle petting from me. happy Cat of the Day to beautiful Phoenix!

[rirohrbaugh]

God bless you for not giving up on this beautiful kitty. The person or people who abused her previously should be hung.

[mon]

Hurrray for Phoenix! What a beauty, we are so happy she has a perfect home now, with people who love her and know exactly how to treat her divine self :D So happy to read about Phoenix today, hope everyone enjoys this special COTD, peace and love :D:D:D:D

[daisy]

I just love, love, love your emerald eyes, Phoenix! And I'm so happy that you're now in a loving furrever home! Congratulations, sweetie!

[kittycats_delight]

Thank you everyone for all the replies thus far. I will give you a little more of Phoenix' after story.

You are right Gary. Phoenix is part of our family. She is 'mostly' the kitty of my BIL Giulio. Her story was written up by Giulio. He is quite a character and very expressive in his writing. He was a literature major at University, in Venice no less. Phoenix adores Giulio. He calls and she comes running doesn't matter to her that I am the one that feeds her or other necessary stuff. Giulio was the one she stayed with in the beginning and still sleeps with every night. It was that most important time when she was transitioning and learning to trust again that she bonded so deeply with Giulio. She has claimed him. He is her pawpie and that's it. The most important thing is that it was that bond with Giulio that she developed that brought her out of her shell and molded her into the cat she is today. She overcame a rough start. She has scarring on her beautiful face from what the vet believes was a kick. She will never know that life ever again and it was just a shame she had to know it for the first 5 years. She can be a handful when she goes into one of her moods but she has more sweet moments than bad ones. She truly is a special kitty that deserved to get a new lease on life and she did.

Thank you all once again. I told Giulio, in a text message that she was COTD today and he replies saying 'I am very proud of my Fifi' We all are.

:love: Michelle

[phesina]

God bless Giulio AND Phoenix.. and all of you who love Phoenix so much and have brought her beyond her horrible early times.

What beautiful eyes. How good to know that this story had a happy ending.

[happylabs]

Oh my goodness! I checked Phoenix out earlier in the day but did not have a chance to sit down and write anything yet. When I saw that first picture I thought to myself...WOW...that is one beautiful black cat.

I am very saddened whenever I hear about animal abuse. How could anyone hurt that gorgeous girl?!? :(

However, I am glad she has a good ending.

She knew from the minute she came to live with you that she was safe but she wasn't taking any chances. Purring is one of the best sounds!

I keep looking back at that first picture. Breathtaking.

Enjoy your day sweet Phoenix. :love:

[Felicia's Mom]

I'm glad you found the perfect home Phoenix and congrats on being COTD!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Phoenix you beauty you. :love:

Now I know why I couldn't get Chester to come away from your picture. He is the same age as you and might have a tiny crush on you. We are so happy you are in a wonderful home with one of the best cat mommies ever. Enjoy your special day to the fullest. Go for all the goodies, ok?

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our very special Cat of the Day!!! :cool::love:

[Edwina's Secretary]

Rather than a Phoenix rising from the ash...you look to me like a diamond from a lump of coal!

So black and beautiful Phoenix -- Cat of the Day!!

[Vermontcat]

Congratulations to beautiful Phoenix on being today's Cat of the Day!:D
It's always nice to see one of Pet Talk's own kitties honored.
Phoenix, I hope you got good and spoiled today in your wonderful, loving Pet Talk home.:love:

[Killearn Kitties]

Beautiful Phoenix, many congratulations to you on being our Cat of the Day today! :D
Forget that terrible start darling, you are where you deserve to be. :love:

These photos of Phoenix are absolutely amazing. Black cats are notoriously hard to photograph, but she has been captured so beautifully. Her eye colour is just so lovely.

Congratulations, and a very happy Cat of the Day to you, beautiful Phoenix!:) What a treat it must have been for your mommy Michelle, and pawpa Giulio, to see you being honored here today!

What an amazing story is yours, Phoenix, and how perfectly you were named, for you truly did rise from the ashes of a hellish existence, reborn to live and love again! You couldn't have hoped for more devoted and loving fuparents, and your mommy and pawpie equally blessed, knowing the love of kitty as stunningly beautiful (inside and out), as special as you! Despite the horrific abuse you suffered at the hands of your former "people," you still are able to love and trust. That is truly miraculous!:)
Thanks so much for ending my long day on such a happy note, Phoenix! I hope you're enjoying your much deserved day of honor. I know your mommy and pawpie are making it a very special one, for sure!
Much love and lots of cuddles to you, beautiful Phoenix!:love::love::love:

[Kay]

[krazyaboutkatz]

Phoenix, you sure are a beauty. Although you had a very rough start in life, now you're in a wonderful loving and caring forever home. Congrats on being COTD!!!:D

[mrspunkysmom]

Happy Cat of the Day Phoenix! Hope it was a grand one.

[Momo]

What a pretty courageous girl you are...I can tell that your new 'owner' loves you very much, as patience was used to get you where you are today. And - you deserve all of the love! :love::love::love:
I'm sure that you had a great Cat of the Day...to match your beautiful green eyes!
