Catman, what a terrible start you had, but how lucky that you found such a special and caring forever home.
People made me so mad when they do terrible things to animals, :mad: but what a blessing that you had a loud strong voice, and managed to get yourself rescued, and invite yourselfinside! :)
I am sure you reward your family every day with much love and affection - you certainly sound like a very special little boy, and I love your shiny black coat too!
Hope you have an extra special day today, although I am sure every day is special for you!
Congrats on being our COTD.
From one rescued kitten to another, Ally sends kitten kisses!:D

My heart aches when I read stories like this. At least you had a happy ending to a very sad beginning. It's amazing that after the bad treatment you received, you were so trusting to follow your new human to her apartment. Catman, you are a beautiful black cat and have brought much happiness to your human. My little black cat Janie is sending you kitty kisses! Happy COTD, Catman!

What a beautiful catman! He is one lucky cat to have been found. I have 2 blackies also, one was very persistant about coming in my house even though I had 4 other cats and a german shephard. He didn't care. You have a lovely cat!

Good morning Catman, what a handsome sleek black man you are. And one always sees: cats know whom they can trust. It makes me mad to think about who could put a living animal in a closed box down into a dumpster -but I am so glad you now have the life that you deserve and now are the king of this day:)

What a gorgeous, handsome cat - and that expressive face! A wonderful cat, and a heartwarming story - cheers to your dumpster-diving hero - I cannot fathom what sickness it takes to consciously do that to a living creature, but you showed them - congrats on being COTD, handsome Catman!

Dearest Catman, you are a shiny, beautiful boy! But, what is it you do that your person thinks is bizarre? It's intriguing. However, it seems to me that if I were taped into a small box and thrown into a dumpster, I'd be bizarre, too! But, not as bizarre as the sick person who did it (may he have a miserable life).
Congratulations, sweet boy, on being our Cat of The Day! Live long and prosper!

What a story, Catman! I'm glad that you found your way into the apartment and your owner's heart after such a terrible thing happened to you. I'm wishing you a long and happy life!

What a great guy. I think who ever threw him in the dumpster needs to be taped inside a box and thrown away like garbage. :mad:

Precious Catman, I'm sooooo happy your wonderful PURR-rent was in that parking lot right at that moment!!! God Bless you AND your loving Human!!! I'm so sorry for what happened to you, but now it's ended a HAPPY story--yay!
You are so beautiful and shiny, with a unique and adorable expression on your face. Those horrid dumpster days are behind you, but, as everyone's expressing today, I too can NOT fathom what devilish creature would ever have put a living baby in a closed box in a dumpster in the first place (eeeeek--makes me just SCREAM!)!!!. Even letting you go in a field would've been more humane than THAT!!! I believe these people will get their due punishment down the road... :mad:
Anyways, you are LOVED and cared for now, and it shines right through you, Beautiful Catman!!! Hugs all day to you, and FUR-ever!!!! :) :cool: :p

Catman
What beautiful eyes you have. My cat, Leonardo says it sometimes pays to have a loud mouth and healthy set of lungs. I found him at 10 days old abandoned by his mother. I heard him yelling his tiny head off. We are both so glad your loving guardian found you. You knew a good thing when you saw it, didn't you? Congratulations on finding a wonderful forever home and being our special Cat of the Day today, sweetie.
How could anyone - ANYONE put you in a box, tape it shut and put you into a dumpster? It makes me scream a long painful scream!
I keep saying that God works in strange ways - and He gave you a good set of lungs to pierce through the box and garbage to just the right human who has given you a wonderful and loving home.
Someone has said - it is a long way from the dumpster to our very own CAT OF THE DAY.
Catman, you are so sleek and handsome and you have those beautiful eyes that always makes my heart melt.
Your rescue story has made my day - and I send big hugs and warm wishes to your human for being such a wonderful and compassionate person to take you in and provide you a good life.

Catman..... what a beauty you are!!! and your stong desire to live just proves what a love you are.
Your mom is a special angel, God was watching you that fateful morning and placed your mom at the perfect spot and time to hear your call.
My heart felt anger for the cold person who dumped you, but after reading the story my heart is so warmed by the love that you definately received than and especially now.
You go Catman..... congratulations on being COTD :)

Hi Catman! Hope you have a very special day today, you deserve it! Unbelievable that anyone would throw a kitten in the dumpster! I am so apalled at sad stories of neglect and abuse that the new owners tell of past owners!:o :mad: You can see you are doing well now as we can see by such a shiny coat and clear eyes!:)

Yes, people are amazing. That is one lucky Catman, and from his picture and description, he seems to be enjoying the life he almost missed. Congratulations, and (more) good luck.

Dear Catman, you are truly deserving of the honor....Cat of the Day! Your amazing will to live and your powerful lungs just would not let you be denied that loving forever home, waiting to welcome you with open arms!! God does work in mysterious ways, and I don't think it was mere conincidence that your devoted forever Mom, your earthly guardian angel, was right there, just steps away, heeding your pleas for help! It was an honor to have met you beautiful Catman!! What spirit, what courage, what a fabulous feline and most deserving Cat of the Day! Long and happy life to you beautiful CATMAN!:)

You are such a lucky boy that your purrent heard you!:) I am very outraged to hear how you were entombed.:mad: It makes me heartsick to think someone went to all that trouble to get rid of you when all they had to do was drop you off at an animal shelter or vet's office.:mad: You are a very hansome man. I loved how you walked in and made yourself at home. I have a stray tomcat I took in last November. The first thing Manny did was walk in and use one of my litter boxes. You are truely a wonderful cat. Congratulations on being Cat Of The Day.
;) :D :cool: :)

Thank God Catman, your guardian angel was in the right place at the right time. Oh I just shudder at the thought of what you had to go through. You were one determined little kitty and it sure paid off.
Congratulations sweetie on being our most deserving COTD.
I wish I was there personally to give you lots of hugs and kisses on your special day. :D

...I am ashamed to say that in my past I may have ignored a "cry from the dumpster" because I did not want to be bothered, or I was in a hurry to go someplace...your human's determination to rescue you, even if it meant diving through garbage in a dumpster, is a shining example to us all that should be emulated. May there be more people like your human; the world will be a better place for it.

I just wanted to add I agree with CatFan. I appauld Catman's purrent's determination to find you. Your purrent is truely a special person. I wish the world was filled with more humans like them.:D :cool: :) ;) I am adding a homeless banner that I did copy from one of the regular posters to this site. I hope they don't mind. The cat looks like Francine when she was a kitten

Like Daisy, I cried when I read this story, not only just because it broke my heart to read of this poor, precious creature shut up and thrown in the trash like that (yikes!) but also because there have been times when I might have taken in another homeless cat and did not.
There is a little black cat, almost just like Catman, who showed up at our building over the last few days. He was hungry and cold, and my landlord and I gave him food to eat. It's a dilemma, though, because I have a cat with whom I have been bonded for over eight years now and I could not see breaking her heart by bringing in another one. But this little guy who showed up on Sunday really touched my heart, and I keep praying that he will be okay. I have not seen him since then.
The story about Catman shows that God has His eye on the sparrow and on all living creatures, great and small. I just have to have faith that the little black kitty at our building will find a loving home, too. (Who knows, maybe it will be mine after all? I just cannot forget about him.
Blessings from MARTHA and Julie (meow!)

Stories like your beginning, Catman, are so totally heartwrenching. People can be more cruel than we ever want to believe, yet others, like your wonderfully loving purrson bring our hearts full circle to see the good in other people as well.
Catman, you are a beautiful boy...God is great to lead you to your furrever home in the loving arms of your rescuer. May you both live a joyous, happy life together and, Catman, we wish you extra snuggles and hugs as our most purrecious Cat of the Day. I am so glad I didn't miss your story.
Special noserubs, snuggles and purrs...Bari and the Cat Happy Pride

Oh, Catman! I rejoice at your good fortune, but it makes me think "how many cats haven't been rescued to be happy and beautiful?". There is so much cruelty it's frightening. We must have enough love to drive it out.
