[Sonia59]

When I first saw your pictures, my eyes "sticked" to the screen in front of your stunning markings! :eek:

But when I read your story I found it so touching! Rufus, you are blessed for have been at the right place at the right moment. I don't know what made you go into this carpark, but it was a fantastic idea! And I wish you a very long and happy life in your furrever home, with your brother Jasper! I can almost hear you purring! :)

Happy COTD, Rufus! :)

Congrats on being our special COTD! :D What fabulous stripes you have...very striking! Glad you have a buddy to play with...maybe you can teach Jasper to purr! I'm so glad you were rescued. Just how did you get up that high?? I'm so glad you have a good home with lots of love and attention. May God bless you with good health and fun-filled adventures. :)
Love and purrs to our gem of the day!

Rufus, look at all of those stripes! What a handsome boy you are! Seems you knew who to 'attach' onto in the carpark. ;) Congratulations on being COTD! I hope your day is special! :D

Rufus- You are stunning!! What a beautiful COTD!

[LittleOrangeKitten]

Oh Rufus! What gorgeous stripes! So well-defined and vibrant. What a wonderful story of how you found your meowmie...you knew just when and where to look. God gave animals such a wonderful sense of who is good or bad.

Rufus, you have a wonderful and "purrable" COTD! And may you get extra cat milk! :)

I have never seen such magnificent stripes! And such a tail! It looks almost as long as your body. What a splendid cat you are. Thank you for being our Cat of the Day.

All the compliments on his stripes are well said. And isn't it a joy to have such a great kitty, knowing that he likely wouldn't have made it without you? Congratulations.

Rufus, you were a brave little kitty to get into the car that night. You must have keen instinct and knew that this mom would take care of you. You have beautiful dark stripes, Rufus! I'd love to hold you and hear you purr in my ear. You are a great COTD and I hope you enjoyed the extra attention from your admirers at PetTalk.

Dear friends, furred and furless,

Thankyou all for your kind words. I'm glad you like my stripes, I'm very proud of them and thanks for admiring my Egyptian eyeliner, Jax! And yes Beauty17, my tail is quite long - my people say it's longer than any cat they've known. And hey, TopCat3, great to hear from a near neighbour - I'll keep an eye out for you too!
I have now been at my furrever home for 9 months and I am well and truly settled in. My brother Jasper and I get on very well now, we play chasies and we have World Wrestling playoffs every morning after breakfast. He even lets me lick him sometimes. Speaking of which, I still like to lick and nibble on toes and I love to catnap on the bed at any time of day. At the moment I am having fun in the garden trying to chase cicadas (it's summer here) and I love to snooze in shady spots. Looking forward to Christmas in my house coz there'll be lots of boxes, bags and paper to play in.
And guess what, I can now meow! I like to meow hello to my people when they get home. I usually wait for them in the front garden near the gate so I can greet them. They seem to love it when they hear my meow's.
Best wishes to you all for a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!,

Love Rufus xxx
P.S. Jasper says hi too! :D

[karlyb]

What a great update about our friend Rufus! He is getting to be quite the young gentleman, isn't he? Maybe you can post new pictures of him and Jasper on General. Seasons Greetings! Enjoy the wrapping paper, fellows!
