England, i completely agree with your owner, those eyes are stunning! I hope that you have a very special day filled with hugs and treats!

By the way, nice name!:D

[chocolatepuppy]

England, what a handsome kitty you are! It seems you had a rough start to life but have a good life now. Congratulations on being COTD! I hope your day is special! :D

[hardercy]

You are the most decorative bathroom accessory, England! So glad to hear you found your happy home. Congrats on being chosen COTD!

[nonie]

Wow! What a handsome boy you are...and congrats on COTD! :eek:
Beautiful eyes, gorgeous coat...yes, indeed you are special. Who needs a tail when you look like you do? What a darling picture of you in the lavatory! :) How nice that you have another tabby to play with and that you were rescued by a human who takes such good care of you...not to mention adores you! May God bless you with lots of love and adventures!
Love and purrs...
Nonie & Star (meow)

Oh poor England. I was really sad after I read your story. :( But it did have a happy ending and I am sure you give your mummy lots of love. ;)

I'm sorry about your bad start in life but you sure look like you are one happy boy now!
I'd love a sink full of you! ♥♥♥

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our special Cat of the Day today! :D

What a shame England that you lost your tail.
But the Good Lord made up for that by finding you the Best Furr Ever Home and Guardians that he could find.
And you can tell everyone that you are a Manx,a Fancy Cat1
The Found Cats,Porchies and Angels send a MIGHTY MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW To Elegant England COTD!!!

England, it took 6 months but I'm so proud you were recognized! Take a day off, nap a little longer and enjoy an extra treat on mom :) :p

[orangemm]

Congratulations to our COTD, England Merlot! what a distinguished name for such a handsome young man!

Enjoy your day and lots of scritches & headbumpies to you!

[tatsxxx11]

England, is that your Mom talking???:D Well, as they say, the best things in life are well worth the wait...or something like that!;) And since it has been a long, grueling 6 months wait for you to be recognized, well, I say all the more reason to celebrate! Make sure your Mom comes through on that promise of treats and naps:) We were just chatting on Pet Talk the other day about "sink kitties" England, and well, here you are!:D Wouldn't it be neat if every time we turned on our faucets, a beautiful bundle of furry love like you poured out!:) You surely had a rough start at life sweetheart, but baby, just look at you now, so handsome,so content, so loved! I'm not surprised to read that you stole your human's heart with one glance from those gorgeous, green eyes:) Congratulations to you handsome England Merlot, our oh so patient, long waiting, MOST deserving Sunday Cat of the Day!:) Hugs and purrrs to you precious England from me and my boys, Mr. B and Oliver!

[lisalee]

Congratulations England!! What beautiful eyes you have! So glad you found a loving home, you are too beautiful of a boy!

[AvaJoy]

England Merlot, what a handsome red boy you are!! And so similar to my RB Meeshe. I am sorry that you are tail-less, but kitties seem to do just fine without their tails. The important thing is that you have love from your guardian, and with that attained, all the other stuff can fall where it may, huh, England?! ;) Congratulations on being our special COTD, and I'm wishing you long, luxurious naps in the sink, darling! :)

[Dan Holder]

From the look of complete contenment on his handsome face, tails must not rank high on his list of things to care about. Congratulations to a kitty that needed a break, and got it.

[LMigliore]

Another cat in a sink! England is a great cat, but he must be a member of the sink-cat conspiracy. Why do they do it? Sinks are hard and cold, not the usual sort of thing cats like resting on. My cat hardly fits in the sink but he still stuffs himself in.

[Jessi77]

England...I must say that you would get my vote for cat-of-the-millennium, if it were up to me! But, then again, I'm totally biased! ;)

love,
Aunt Jessi

What a beautiful boy you are dear England! You have such soulful, sweet eyes, the most brilliant of greens! Congrats to Excellent England! :) :D :)

[sasha the cat]

Only very special cats change the minds of "non-cat persons" and your Meowmie relates that:

...has turned many a "non-cat person" into a cat lover...
What a handsome boy you are, England! We fell in love with you in a nano-second. You didn't get the best start in life [neither did our darling angel Sasha] but you found the right person who brought you to your furever home, giving you and sibling Buster the love every pet deserves!

It's the purrfect way to live...with your human who appreciates, loves and adores you unconditionally. We're delighted to see what a handsome cat you've become. Love brings out the best in every living being which you and Meowmie have already proven to each other.

Live long and happy, healthy, always loved and cherised dear England. May you and Buster have many happy years together in your Palace with your Meowmie. Lots of hugs, kisses and caresses to the both of you Mighty Fine PussyCats from us.

Your Momma is right: You do have the most enchanting eyes!

"This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Feared by their breed and famous by their birth."
-William Shakespeare

I couldn't resist quoting the Bard on this, your special day! If I may paraphrase, it would go something like:

"Those emerald eyes,
That come-hither look,
That luxuriant fur,
It's England the Orange King!
Fear his mighty paw!"

(Sorry if I don't measure up to the Bard!)

Congratulations on your special day, England!

England, you are a gorgeous orange cat with the most astounding eyes! My Sandy was also a rescue kitty and had terribly calloused feet. In short time they healed and are now soft as a baby's butt <g>. I'm sorry you lost your tail - that is the hard way to become a manx. England, you are fortunate that you were adopted by a family who loves you so much and will care for you always.
