Awesome Onyx!

Dearest Onyx, you are awesome indeed! What an utterly gorgeous hunk of a guy you are, with that glossy ebony fur that looks so soft, and that sweet face with the long, long whiskers and those lovely big golden-green eyes gazing out at me. You are absolutely gorgeous in those great photos, so relaxed in your favorite spots in both. Thank you for sharing them with us. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Washington to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me ;).

And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You're quirky and quite talkative, an interesting combination there. You're very affectionate, and you welcome your dear Purrrson home by responding to her/his questions about your day. You enjoy relaxing on her/his lap, but you get annoyed if a cell phone call comes in while you're there. You get up and leave, making it clear that you don't like your time with her interrupted! You have been with her and blessed her life over the past 17 years. Your 17th birthday is this Friday, February 11! And you look much younger, in that magical way that cats have. You and your Purrrson love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Onyx, on being chosen Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration full of fun and loving and all your favorite games and treats and some pleasant cell-phone-call-free lap time. And we are sending along loads of Happy Birthday wishes, too!

How lucky a human is yours, Onyx, having a beautiful, purrsonality packed, quirky and chatty, sweet as can be fur son in you, Onyx; having known your love and devotion the past 17 years and counting!

Hello, Onyx! Happy Cat of the Day!

You are awesome indeed! What a gorgeous gentleman you are, with your fur that looks like black velvet! I agree with my friend tatsxxx11- you are a sleek, shiny house panther :love:

I smiled as I read about how you converse with your person, discussing how the day is going and what is happening. You are NOT a fan of telephone calls, which interrupt you and your person's lap time! You are having a birthday this coming Friday!

Happy Birthday and happy Cat of the Day to wonderful, awesome Onyx!
