Mystery

[Woodstock91]

What a wonderful story! Mystery is a very handsome fellow, and you both are very lucky!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Mystery, you are such a handsome boy and I love your unique name.:) You are one very lucky cat to have made a wonderful cat loving friend and now you have a wonderful loving and caring forever home.:) Congrats on being COTD!!!:D

[Barbara]

Mystery, you are wonderful indeed- and you picked a mom who is an excellent writer as well which makes you even more special. Your story deserves to become a classic of making friends- just like Antoine de Saint Exupéry's story of the prince and the fox.
You certainly found the right purrson for you- and may you live happily together for a long long time to come.:)

I opened the back door, cried out "Meow?" and the bush went "Meow-wow!" and a familiar wet streak made a mad dash for the welcoming door, and as I snapped it shut, my new friend found his bed, did circles on top of it, sampled his food, but knowing fully why I was doing all this, he opened his golden eyes wide, and in silent cat language, and thanked me from the bottom of his kitty-heart. To this day, nine years later (and adapted to becoming a fully indoor pet) he reminds me every day just how grateful he is.

So why did I choose the name Mystery for him? So many unanswered questions I have about where did he come from, why was he neutered but had no collar, how could he have lived for about a year on his own and remain in perfect health, who taught him to use the litter box, how did he come to me, and to this day not tolerate another person to come anywhere near him, why is he so well behaved and never gets into trouble, and the weirdest one of all ... why does a nineteen-pound solid tomcat still to this day ask to climb on to my shoulder and beg to be carried around? What else could I name this incredible being?

He is the most gentle, loving animal I have ever met, always wanting to sit with me and purr away. He teaches me new things, such as how to pet play with him differently, how he loves to go on a hunt finding hidden toys and proudly trot through the house announcing his achievement. We have become best friends, and I am just as thankful every day, too, for the marvelous and mysterious gift left for me to treasure.


Oh my goodness, Mystery! You came to your person because you just knew that would be the right forever home for you. No one else's home would be the one. I would love to watch you hunt for toys or see you purr from your person's shoulders! You are gorgeous with your beautiful tuxedo coat and your amazing golden eyes. Please have your person give you a whole ton of hugs, snuggles, kisses, lovies and petting for me today :love: (some for Miss Blasty-Pants too, please ;) ) Happy Cat of the Day to you, precious Mystery!

[Amkg]

My goodness Mystery what a heart warming story your person has shared! It brought tears to my eyes. It's so amazing the way the two of you became a pair! This was such a beautifully written story -one that I will be sure to read again and again! Wishing you both a wonderful fun filled day. Congrats on being today's Cat of the Day -you truly deserve it!!! :) :) :)

[Josie's Mom]

I'm glad there was a happy ending for Mystery - thanks to you. You are a good person!

[MamaD]

What a kind, understand heart you have! You rescued this gorgeous creature in such a gentle way. I wish you many years together.

Not only does your guardian have the gift of you, Mystery, but also the gift of writing beautifully! Considering that you were already neutered and your guardian had just moved in to the house, possibly you were left behind by the previous dwellers. Only you know, and you're not divulging, right? If all was known about your past then your loving guardian might have to change your name. Better to live up to it and retain the mystery.:cool: Wishing you and your best friend enjoy long, healthy lives together!:)

[phesina]

Oh, Mystery, we are so glad you found your WONDERFUL FURRREVER HOME, with the Purrrrson who never gave up on you, kept on bringing you more and more home. God bless him/her and God bless you too and even Miss Blasty-pants!

And what an utterly beautiful, handsome Tuxedo fellow you are. You look like you possess the wisdom of the ages and the utter contentment and appreciation of being at home with so very much love shared all around. What a treasure indeed you are.

Congratulations on being selected today's Cat of the Day, Mr. Mystery! We hope you and your whole family are celebrating with lots of fun and lovies and special treats!

This was the best story ever!! I also was smiling ear to ear with tears in my eyes.

Congrats, Mystery, on finding your furever person and home. And also congrats on being Cat of the Day! :D :D I do hope Miss Blasty-pants eventually accepted you as well. :)

[Catty1]

Gosh, Mystery, I don't think I have seen a happier, more handsome and beloved and loving cat than you! What a big hunk of gorgeous boy!

I really loved this! A true mystery about love, trust and companionship between a wonderful cat and a very fine person! And a happy ending for both! So glad to see Mystery as COTD today, I wish you the best for all the years ahead! Peace and love :D:D:D:D

[Edwina's Secretary]

What a story! And one thing that is NOT a mystery is how well you have adjusted to being a beloved - and loving kitty.

Pats on your tummy, a kiss on your adorable pink nose (delivered by your purrson of course!) and congrats to our Cat of the Day...Mystery!!

[Felicia's Mom]

What a beautiful story! Happy COTD Mystery.:love:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Mystery what a gorgeous fellow you are!!! :love:

I loved reading about you. What a story teller your human is. I felt like I was there with you! I'm so glad you decided it was much better inside where it is warm and dry. Please thank your loving guardian for not giving up on you and for sharing you with us today.

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

[kaycountrygal]

Hello Mystery, it's a pleasure to meet such a handsome sweet boy. I read your story with interest and anticipation. I am so glad you allowed your human to feed you, shelter you, care for you, and love you. It seems that you have returned that love. You are so pretty; may I say "pretty" for a male cat? Love your colors and you're a big boy too. I'd like to hold you but I think your human said you wouldnt like that. I enjoyed the article and all the great photos. I hope you all have many more years together. Congrats on being COTD!

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Mystery, beautiful boy! What a wonderful, life affirming story, what a beautifully written, spell binding, love filled tribute your forever human has shared with us...along with your heart melting photos!:) We thank her/him from the bottom of our hearts for her caring, her/his diligence and perserverence! And how well her compassion has been rewarded, with your unconditional love, your devotion, and your unwavering loyalty! How blessed you both are to have found your way to one another! It's clear you have a soul mate, a best friend for life in her, and she in you!:) It may forever remain a mystery, how you came to find yourself homeless. But it's hardly a mystery at all, how handily you won over your human's heart! Ah yes, "sweet mystery of life at last I've found you!"

Ah! Sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning

The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!
For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
And 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living

For it is love alone that rules for aye!
Love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
For 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye!

Thank you so much, sweetheart, for the big, big smiles. Meeting you was the grace note on my day! Hope you and your person, and prickly Miss Blasty-Pants, hehe, are enjoying your much deserved day of honor; you all deserve it!:)
Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Mystery! Hoping for you and your person, many, many more wonderful years of shared love and devoted companionship!:love::love::love:

[Momo]

Wow...your story is one of the best I've read here! I am so glad that you and your pet parent bonded so well! And it is indeed a mystery...and a miracle - that you remained healthy during your time out on the street!
Mystery - you are a cutie too. You look like my 12-year old fat cat, Crunch! :)
I'm sure that everyday is Cat of the Day for you, Mystery! :love::love::love:

[Sashymo]

A couple of days late with this, alas. Mystery and his human companion have such a wonderful and gratifying story to tell! All of my cats down the years have been rescues. I even brought two back to the States with me when I repatriated. All of these cats adopted me, and whilst most of them showed that they were indeed willing, I have never experienced such cat determination and openess as reported here of Magic. This is a very heartwarming story! Humans often seem rather a rum lot, but cats have their ways of ferreting out the good'uns.
