Mr. Mackee

[Former User]

Awwww, Mr. Mackee, I guess you are a cat who knows what you want, you were so determined to pick those exact people to be your hoomans! By the sound of it, you made the right pick, and have a wonderful life now, as every cat should be.

Congrats Mr. Mackee, Cat Of The Day! :)

Mr. Mackee, you are one handsome kitty! Congratulations on being COTD!! Headbumpies and noserubs to you!:D :D

It certainly sounds like you picked the right family to go home with. Hope you continue to lead the life of luxury!!:cool: :)

Congratulations on being a very speical COTD!

THe Chartier cats send chin rubs and belly scratches to you. ;)

:D :D Congratulations, Mr. Mackee, our handsome COTD -- not only for being chosen COTD but for having such great communication skills!

KatMa read me your story and I must say, you are one ultra:cool: kitty! With your wonderful personality and those fantastic communication skills, KatMa and I are NOT surprised you found your forever home when your purrsons visited the local animal shelter that cold Maine winter day in January 2000.

Your persistence made your purrsons understand you were adopting them and they were so fortunate to bring home such a loving. handsome and determined Angel pussycat.

:D :DHave a wonderful day filled with extra treats to help you celebrate! Live long & healthy, happy, loved & cherished by your purrsons -- all pets deserve this.

KatMa sends 100,000 kisses & hugs and I, Sasha the =^.^= send you sweet mewls, headbumps, kittykisses and nose twinkies! :) :) You definately are a five-star pet so KatMa includes the stars: *****

Congratulations Mr. MacKee!

You are beautiful. Is that a WHITE nose pad I see? How wonderfully unusual!:D

[Killearn Kitties]

We enjoyed reading all about you today Mr Mackee. We too remember what it was like as babies being outside in the Scottish winter before we found our purrsons' garden to shelter in. Clearly you also selected the right purrsons and now you have a wonderful life!
Congratulations on your special honour today.

[Vio&Juni]

Congratulations on being our Cat of the Day Mr. Mackee.

Congratulations Mr. Mackee on being COTD. I like your "get adopted" maneuver also. Cammie did something similar when we went to Adopt-a-Cat looking for a new baby. Only she wasn't as subtle as you -- she jumped on my shoulder and refused to leave! Naturally, she's at our house being waited on hand and foot now. You're a beautiful boy Mr. Mackee.

[tatsxxx11]

You are one determined Tux man, Mr. Mackee!:D You knew what you wanted, you knew were you belonged and it didn't take long for your adoring family to know that YOU were the one for them!! What a heartwarming rescue tale!! It does my kitty loving heart good to learn that such a loving and loyal feline will forever be pampered and adored! Congratulations to our very handsome, debonaire and delightful Cat of the Day! And many thanks to your family for giving you a second chance at life! Enjoy your special day, dear Mr. M!! You're SO sweet!!:)

[Dan Holder]

That's a sweet story. He looks grateful and supremely content. Good for him.

[Steffi N]

You saw your purrrents at the shelter and knew they were the family for you. :) Now they don't know how they ever managed without you. Congratulations, Handsome.

[karlyb]

I would never guess that you were once a thin, flea and mite-infested kitty by the side of the road. It is amazing that after being left out in the cold, that you still trusted humans enough to pick your family. You are a beautiful boy Mr Mackee. Long and happy life to you sweet kitty.

[mec407]

Hi everybody!

Mr. Mackee and I would like to thank you all for your wonderful comments and compliments! We were taken completely by surprise when we discovered that Mr. Mackee had been chosen as Cat of the Day. :eek:

He is a wonderful cat, and he is the light of my life. He will be getting extra treats and extra attention today to celebrate his special moment! :)

Attached is a picture of Mr. Mackee with his baby sister, Lenore. :D

[Vio&Juni]

Lenore is a beautiful kitty too. You should post pix of them more often :)

[ElGatoTriste]

Hi everyone!

I'm the cat parent formerly known as mec407; no longer have access to that account,
hence the new username, but I wanted to give some updates about Mr. Mackee. I can't
believe it's been 8 years since he was Cat of the Day!

He's approximately 13 years old now, give or take a year -- hard to know for sure with
rescue cats. He was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year, but he doesn't mind the
insulin shots at all. He eats EVO 95% meat food, which he loves (although he has never
been a picky eater -- he'll eat just about anything!). His adopted sister Feema (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=168855) passed
away last weekend, so we're both trying to recover from that.

Without further ado, here are some photos of my handsome tuxedo boy.

Oh, he's just adorable! Thank you for sharing the pictures. I especially admire his two-toned toe pads. And the picture of him with his and your beloved Feema is especially beautiful.

So nice to meet you, Mr. Mackee!

[Killearn Kitties]

Ir's wonderful to hear an update on Mr Mackee. Thank you so much for posting more photos of him. He looks an absolutely adorable boy. :love:

[ElGatoTriste]

I have sad news. :(

Mr. Mackee passed away yesterday, May 20, 2013. He was about 15-16 years old. He went into heart failure in December 2012, and the doctors also discovered nodules on his liver, which they believe may have been cancer. With the help of four medications, Mr. Mackee hung on for six months... far longer than the doctors expected. A week ago he started to once again go downhill, and on Sunday his decline became much more rapid, to the point that he couldn't eat, couldn't drink, could barely walk, and wouldn't purr even when I was petting him.

Yesterday was perhaps the worst day of my life. I'm still in a state of shock and heartbreak; all I can do is keep telling myself that he's no longer suffering and that I'll see him again someday.

[Karen]

Aww, our condolences!

[phesina]

I am so very sorry. Hugs to you. It is so hard, isn't it, to say goodbye to such a dear friend when it is time for them to go.

Mr. Mackee is whole and healthy again now, a glorious Angel at the Rainbow Bridge, where he will welcome you Home.. One Fine Day..

He shared a good long life full of love with you. Love is eternal, and you are together always. May your precious memories help to bring you peace and comfort. God bless.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: from Pat and cats

These are the last pictures I took of Mr. Mackee before he passed.
