Oh Mike!

[Sonia59]

Good morning Mike !
What a handsome guy! I can see in your eyes you are almost human and very intelligent! And your grey coat is just perfect!
Congratulations on being COTD!

[kb2yjx]

Nice to meet you, Mike Gruber!!!! Just LOVE those eyes!! From what your parents wrote about you, I can see why they think you are " the BEST cat in the land!" I was quite impressed by your "resume" of all that you do. Which tell me that you are very happy to be in your FOREVER home!!! WOW!!! You have more time in an airplane than I do, but you seem to enjoy that mode of travel more than I do. I bet you were VERY surprised to see the snow in Minnesota!!! I can just picture your expression seeing the white stuff. Since you seem to enjoy the Linda McCartney's mac and cheese, I will have to see if our cats would like it, too. HAPPY COTD!!!!

Mike, you are so handsome! Sounds like you rule the roost at your place! I have a soft spot for blue kittys!(see siggy) Congratulations on being COTD! I hope your day is great! :)

[catlady1945]

Wow - Mike is a real beauty! Congratulations.

[kittykay]

Mike, you are a very intelligent, alert-looking guy. Like the idea of a radio receiver, even though my cats are seldom further than the nearest hosta. Hard to spot them under there, though! Best wishes for a long, happy, healthy life, you handsome thing!

[luvofallhorses]

Mike,

I fell in love when I first saw you this morning! :) You are such a handsome boy :) Hugs and kisses to you sweetie :) Enjoy your special day :)

[CatMama78]

Oh Mike!!! You are so handsome and very intelligent. You do indeed seem human to me.

I've got a Mike too - he's my husband. :D I might rather have you though - jk ;) .

[TopCat3]

I am smitten! Smitten! I want to hug you, precious boy. May you have a wonderful day and a long, healthy and happy life. That dense pearl grey coat, those luminous green eyes...Oh Oh...I am undone:eek: :)

Mike seems to be a gentleman and a scholar. My darling 14 year old lady and scholar would be SO grateful if Mike's people could direct us to that radio collar AND toward which airline Mike prefers to reward with his air fare. It would also save us shopping time if we knew where to purchase the "allowed" kitty bag(s).

[Jax]

You do indeed look like a very intelluctual cat, you handsome boy!! I like your name, it seems very fitting. You have the most lovely eyes and gorgeous blue coat! Congrats to Master Mike!! :) :D :)

[Killearn Kitties]

What a handsome boy you are Mike, and quite the seasoned traveller!

Perhaps your mama will let you steal half her dinner today, in that cute little way of yours, in honour of your special Cat of the Day status! :D

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Mister Mike Gruber
WOW! What a handsome fellow you are!!!
It was a treat for us to get to see your wonderful picture and meet you today!
I love the radio tracker your humans have on you. What a good idea.

Oh, plush, handsome, green-eyed, wonderful Mike - what a super Cat of the Day you are!!!! Really enjoyed your bio...nice that your extra abilities are so appreciated by your purrrsons!!! You are totally purrrrrrrfect as a cat can be, and we congratulate you on this, "your day!"

P.S. Our cats like to watch the raccoons feed each night as well. I do hope you don't start washing all your food as they do - it gets very messy! LOL Our raccoons take marshmallows from our hands!

Mike Gruber,

Grey in the shade in the month of May. Your grey coat looks absolutely scrunchy soft!

Arbuckle and Spinner would like to congrat. you on cotd honors.

[orangemm]

Oh beautiful Mike! That teddy-bear face just tugs at my heartstrings. Russian Blues are such sweetie pies!

What an accomplished traveler you are, jetting from city to city. It takes a very special cat to do that.

Congratulations on your very special day, Mike Gruber!!

You all are very lucky!

[Dan Holder]

What a handsome fellow, and a super kitty, too. Congratulations on the decision to adopt a cat in need of a home. Didn't that work out great?

[Frostfrog]

A couple of weeks back, Mike got of hanging out in ho-hum, humdrum places such as New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco and so he snuck away from his family, stowed away on an Alaska Airlines get and came up to see me.

We had a great time, hanging out with moose, swatting mosquitoes and breaking small chunks of ice off glaciers to chill our Pepsi.

"Hey!" I said one day. "Russia's just across the strait! Want to go to your ancestral homeland?" Boy, did Mike get excited! His tail was swishing, his ears were perked and his eyes were bright and wide.

So we headed on over and, boy, those Russians were impressed.

"Why, that is the finest American Russian Blue cat I ever seen!" One old reindeer herder praised. We were having great time, eating cavier, and swapping lewd jokes with folks that we met, and then we made the mistake of sitting down to dinner with a certain, jovial group.

A matronly lady began the evening with a vodka toast. "To Michael!" she lifted the bottle, "the most beautiful American Russian Blue cat in the world." Mike and I are both normally teetotalers, but we figured one toast could not hurt, so we joined in. Well, in Russia, there is no such thing as one toast and soon, the room was spinning, English and Russian words were weaving indicipherably about each other, and Mike was caterwauling, yowling, falling, landing on all parts but his feet and then he coughed up the most horrid hairball one could never imagine.

The next morning, we both woke up on the floor with terrible headaches. Mike started meowing for his Mommy, so I put him on a plane and sent him home. Otherwise, it was a great adventure, and Mike was among the best traveling buddies that I have ever had. I'd go anywhere with him again, but no more toasting.

[critterlover]

Your story of your exploits with Mike inspired me!

And then I checked out your buddy, Thunderpaws....
How MARVELOUS!!!

Thanks for sharing!

[K9soul]

Mike, it's no surprise that a handsome and suave model like yourself loves the camera! Wow aren't you a gorgeous kitty hunk! And on top of good looks it's evident you have quite keen intelligence, in addition to being well traveled! Sounds like you keep your humans well in paw ;). Mike, I hope you have an especially pleasant and rewarding day today to celebrate the spotlight. Congratulations on being our very handsome and debonnaire Cat of the Day!

[AvaJoy]

Handsome Mike, you are so clever . . . and quite the jetsetter, too!!! As the racoons have taught you, food always tastes better if you can get your paws into it, as I can attest!;) Congrats on your special day, and enjoy!!!!!:)

[Gail Wolfe]

I agree! Frostfrogs story of Thunderpaws is very touching.
