Ian, I'm glad that despite your rough start, you are trusting people. I can see from the writing of your hooman, that you are in a loving home now, living happily and healthy.
I hope you'll get an extra long belly rub today, you are our gorgeous COTD!

CONGRATULATIONS IAN :)

[catwoman761]

I am so glad you found a loving home. You are such a handsome man. I love your fluffy orange fur and those beautiful green eyes:eek: :D I can tell your humans love you very much. I have an orange tabby that followed me in one day from getting the mail. I didn't even know he followed me in until my other cats started hissing at him. He was very skinny and dirty. I know you knew which human to pick for your home. Congratulations on beig Cat Of The Day. I hope you get plenty of treats and rubs from your humans today and every day!:p :D :cool:

Ian this is really a stunning portrait that your purrents sent to us. Such a mild light on your beautiful orange fur, such a thoughtful gaze -you are super-pretty.

And your rescue story warms our hearts. Enjoy your day, Boog with lots of food and play and cuddling.

Wow Ian you are gorgeous. What a wonderful kitty to wake up to-thanks for brightening my morning and congrats on cotd!

[HayleyRosie]

Congratulations on being Cat Of The Day!!!! I'm glad you have found a loving forever home. Continued happiness.:) :)

[RockyRoad]

Ian, you are such a big red foofy boy with such beautiful green eyes and sweeping white whiskers! I'm glad you found the purrfect purrents to take care of you!

[Vio&Juni]

WOW, WOW, WOW
Such eyes, such whiskers, such furrrrr!!! MMMMMMMM. No wonder, your human took you in as soon as you appeared. He/she was afraid someone else would take you.
I'm in love here. The picture is amazing. Not showing it to Juni, she'll kill me if I don't take her to St. Augustine Beach, Florida, USA. It's not cheap, I tell you.

[hardercy]

Your wonderful photo captures you to purrfection, Ian. I'm so glad that you found a happy home. I love big, fluffy boy cats!

[catlady1945]

Congratulations, Ian. What a beautiful boy! Two of our cats were strays as well - and they are the ones with the nicest temperments.

[kittykay]

Ian, I agree that strays can be the BEST! So can rescues and fosters (I fostered a Siamese boycat and failed miserably as a foster mom when I fell in love with him and couldn't let him be adopted--he is on my lap this moment). Your beauty is amazing and your sweet personality divine. May you always be your mama's Cat of The Day!

[catwoman761]

I just wanted to add that three of my cats were cats noone wanted. Manny picked me. I guess he saw how fat my cats are when they sit in the front window. LOL:D
Doobie got thrown out by a jilted boyfriend. She would come to see when I went to visit her first humans. Doobie even tried to leave with me once LOL! Francine's mom is a chocolate siamese so they grow into their colors and being the runt of the litter noone wanted her either. Manny is napping in my lap right now as I type this.
Ian is so handsome and I am so glad he was saved from a life out on the streets. You are a welcome addtion to Cat Of The Day. I think you have it going on! Come visit me and my cat pride anytime sweet cute Ian!:cool: :D

We really enjoyed meeting you this morning! You really are a lucky boy, and we agree with your loving purrson completely... "I'd urge anybody to give a stray a warm, loving home. It's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life." Everyone in the Cat Happy Pride was a stray who came to us lost or hurt or both, and they give back love every day of their furry little lives!

http://www.cathappy.com/images/Rescue%20photos/homelessbanner.jpg

I looked at all the caged animals in
the shelter...the cast-offs of human
society. I saw in their eyes love and
hope, fear and dread, sadness and
betrayal. And I was angry. "God," I said,
"this is terrible! Why don't you do something?
"God was silent for a moment,
and then spoke softly, "I have done
something. I created you."

Ian, you are indeed a very handsome guy! Catgratulations on being today's most purrrecious Cat of the Day - and Paw applause to your purrson from the entire Pride for giving you such a loving home!

Noserubs, snuggles and purrs...Bari and the Pride

[missprissy]

What a big ole beautiful boy you are Booger! Your lovely green eyes and stunning orange coat are amazing - you orange tabbies are always very very sweet. Congrats for being Our Cat of the Day! :) :)

[Jeanne Hajos]

What a beautiful boy!! I have a soft spot for orange kitties. Also for strays -- the two I have now were both miserable strays and we couldn't be more pleased with them. But I'd love to have one like Ian stroll by!!

[Howie's Mama]

As a cat rescue-er, I'm always delighted to read on this page when someone adopts a stray rather than a breed. Your boy had a rough start, but because you found each other, he enjoys the wonderful, loving home all kitties deserve.
What gorgeous green eyes your Ian has! I chuckled at the various names he answers to -how is it that we end up giving our kitties so many silly names? (I have at least 4 names for my guy).
Congratulations, Ian, on finding your lifelong, loving home and for being today's Cat of the Day!!

[Lennie B.]

I love everything about you, Ian- from your gorgeous ginger fur to your expressive emerald green eyes to your heartwarming and inspiring story! You and your special human are so lucky to have found each other! :D Congratulations on your selection as Cat of the Day, Big Guy, and I hope you have a day filled with treats, games and rubbies! :) :) :)

[gini]

Oh, Ian, I know all about you clever orange boys who just "move in."

And don't we just love you to pieces forever!

Congratulations on selecting just the right home and the honor you are receiving today!

Congrats on your very special day today , dear Ian !!!

[Cataholic]

Ian,
I don't know what I fell in love with first, your beautiful green eyes, your exquisite whiskers, or your lovely colored coat! The total package is awesome. Congratualtions to one of the great beauties- the Orange Kitty! Have a wonderful day as our very best COTD:)

[felinefriend]

Ian, what a wonderful 5th Birthday Gift you were for your Big Sis, and a lifetime gift for your whole family!! As everyone's posting, your orange fur and emerald eyes are stunning--they compliment each other beautifully! I can't believe you were so sickly in the beginning because you are fully the picture of HEALTH now!!!!! Have many, many happy, healthy years with the Humans you picked!!!! Congratulations on our COTD!!!! :) :D :p ;) :cool:

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Ian
What a handsome fellow you are! I'm so glad you have a loving home and family now. Almost every cat I've ever had has been a stray so I know how special they are! Congratulations on being our special Cat of the Day, sweetie.:)

[Dan Holder]

That's a beautiful kitty, and true that it's very rewarding to give a stray a life. Every time you hear them purr or look at them napping in a sunbeam, you think of the suffering or bad end that wonderful little creature would have come to. Good luck.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

What a big beautiful boy you are, Ian. And it sounds like you certainly deserve to be honored as Cat of the Day. Enjoy and I hope you get lots of extra treats and scritchies for being such a special boy. :)

[Miss Meow]

17.5 pounts of orange lerrrrrve! Happy COTD Ian :)

[tatsxxx11]

Oh Ian! Has Bauch and Lomb contacted you yet?? Now that's an eye color I'd pay big bucks for!!;) Your yummu creamsicle coat, your pensive expression and those beautiful sparkling eyes have left me in awe!! But the HUGE smile came when I read your rags to riches story! There is nothing more rewarding than opening up your home and heart to a needy stray! And don't you return their devotion and love every day, sweetie!:) Congratulations to you Ian, our most beautiful, "big boy"Cat of the Day!

[AmberLee]

Oh my! What a handsome Boogie-woogie Boogie boy we have as our cat of the day today! You're adorable sweetheart! It's heartwarming to read your story. Hope you and your forever family have many, many more happy years enjoying each other.

{{{snugglies, sweet Ian!}}}

[mylunalove]
