[Cincy'sMom]

What a handsome boy you are!!! And what wonderful humans from the woman who found you, to the one who nursed you back to health, to the family that was patient enough to find the wonderful cat within! Such a great story!

Congrats on being Cat of the Day!!!

Paw applause to your wonderful purrents for rescuing you and making you realize that there are good people in the world. You have a tiny white locket just like my cat TicTac.

Blackie, luck was with you the day you were found, and will be forever, with you and your family.
God bless you and all ones involved with your rescue and you lovely family.

Percy dragged me to the computer this morning to look at a fellow black cat who made Cat of the Day.
Blackie, you have made our day - from your pretty face to your wonderful story of rescue, recovery and adoption. A perfect way to start the day.
Enjoy Cat of the Day status, today and forever!

Heartfelt thanks to all of the earthly angels who made dear Blackie's rescue a reality!:) What a heartwarming tale of resuce, so fitting our Sunday honors.

Aren't you the handsome boy, precious Blackie! You sure have come a long way since you were first found cowering in that box beneath the boardwalk, so frightened, alone and ill:( Who could blame you for being a bit hesitant and shy around humans at first. But thanks to your wonderful family's great love and devotion, you've blossomed into the sweetest, gentlest, most loving kitty a human could ever hope for! You deserve all of our praise and a big round of applause for all that you have accomplished in your young life!:) I wish for you and your forever family many, many, MANY more happy years together, filled with love, health and happiness!:D Congratulations to you dear, beautiful, brave Blackie, our extra special Sunday Cat of the Day!:) Wear your title proudly Blackie and have a wonderful day celebrating your well earned honor! Love and purrrs to you from Sandra, Mr. B and Oliver!

Looking at your magnificent picture does not give even a hint of your horrible beginnings.

Blackie you are the best example of what good care, good food and patient love can do to make you blossom into such a beautiful cat. Your coat just glistens.

A huge blessing on all that were involved in your rescue and care.
You have made my Sunday!!

What a stunningly handsome black beauty you are B! You look so shiny and happy and healthy! Congrats for being Our Adoorable Cat of the Day! :) :D :)

[sasha the cat]

Mew, I love your purr~son family and the lady who nursed you back to health! Mew, meeow you are soooooo handsome; such glossy fur and lovely, lovely eyes!

My KatMa fell for you big time. You remind her so much of Buttons, a sweet, wonderful cat who lived with my KatMa when she was just a slip of a girl.

KatMa can't imagine who would be so cruel as to lock a wee kitten in a box under the boardwalk but she is so thankful to read you are fine, happy, healthy, loved & cherised today -- living the kind of life every pet deserves. To those who harmed you, remember that what goes around, comes around and one day they will have to answer for what was done to you.

Such a sweet love you've become; living beings respond to kindness and love and it is wonderful to know that you are a very happy pussycat today -- and a mightly fine cat of the day!

[PJSZOO]

Blackie, you are such a beautiful boy. Thank goodness that such wonderful people found you in time! You could pass for my Diva's twin! It is truly horrible that someone could just discard you as they did. Those "people" evidently do not understand just how precious kitties really are, and that they deserve love and attention-how sad for them, they will never feel nor deserve the love and companionship of a "fur kid". I'm so happy that you have a family that loves and cares for you. Blessings to you, Blackie!

Hi BLACKIE,
We were so proud to see you as THE CAT OF THE DAY. You are as soft and beautiful as your pictures. You even were generous enough to share your loving home with two more cats, Sagwa and Ginger, adopted after this story was written. How do we know.
We are your Your Aunt Sue and your COUSIN CATS, Cleo (CAT OF THE DAY MARCH 15, 2003 see link below) Stormy and Spencer.

Hello Blackie, what a beautiful sleek black kitty you are. You sure had a rough start in life. Thank heaven there are people who care about kitties. It must have been hard for you to trust your human friends, but love won out. I hope you have many more years with the family who loves you so much, dear Blackie.

[Dan Holder]

Isn't he a fortunate fellow. Not too many homes would have the patience to wait for him to adapt. Congratulations to all.
