Lucky you were indeed given the right name as you are one very lucky kitty, being rescued after those people treated you SO badly! It looks like you've grown to be one very beautiful (do I see some Maine Coon there?) kitty with a gorgeous plume of a tail. Enjoy your special day, you Lucky boy!
Oh my Lucky, the beginning of your story brought tears to my eyes. How heartless some people can be. I'm so glad that you were rescued and now have a loving forever home.
You are truly one handsome boy.
Congratulations sweetie on being our most deserving COTD.
Hope you get lots of special treats on your special day.
Lucky's people are lucky too, for the experience of knowing Lucky and witnessing the stupidity of cruel people. It will certainly be an experience they will grow from. I hope they can tell his story to anyone who will listen and inspire others to have more compassion for all creatures great and small. Peace and joy to Lucky and his people, and all those that his story can touch!
What a heart-warming tale - with such an awesome ending. People do often suck! We are so very happy and honored to meet lovely Lucky, and learn of the happy, warm and loving home you found after knowing the cruel outside world. You are a fine example of what dear treasures our "throwaways" really are!!
Congrats to Beautiful Lucky, for being Our Adorable Cat of the Day! :) :D :)
A story like Lucky's is good for the soul. It means so much to be reminded that there are caring people. It is people like Lucky's owners that make a difference in this world!
As a former domestic violence counselor, I wonder if anyone, even anonymously, has filed a police complaint against this man? Or <I>these</I> men, given the fact there are others like him mentioned here! There's a d@mned good chance he's/they're doing the same thing to his girlfriend or famly. (did you know every single instance of a serial killer on record has a history of torturing and killing animals as a child?) I digress. Did this guy throw his arms into the air and scream "TOUCHDOWN!?" Did others just laugh and walk into the job site, smacking him on the back to congratulate him?
There are good souls out there like your son. Sure, I bet he didn't want to "make trouble," but silence tells abusers that what they do is OK. Holding them accountable doesn't stop them, but it makes them think once or twice before they murder another animal or burn their family with cigarettes. Thank goodness your son had you to give him a carrier. Could he have lived with himself had he let Lucky die a painful and frightened death? I doubt it. :) His good heart was obviously too wracked to just forget about him.
My husband is a general contractor. Like your son, he works with sickos like this upon occasion. It's not "...those kinds of men" but the few that have little-to-no value for life. Around my husband, these men are particularly careful of others pets and strays on job sites. They don't <I>dare</I> not be. My 6'5" 230 pound husband husband has a case of canned salmon and a 25 pound bag of dry cat food in his truck -- and it's not for a snack.
Thank god for your son. Lucky is beautiful; you and yours are lucky <I>and</I> beautiful!

Lucky, your story touches the heart. I am so glad your people took you in and gave you the opportunity to be that gorgeous boy you are.
Tigris and Filou send headbumpies! They said they would like to p... in the shoes of the guy that hit you.:D
I can only add my voice (and my tears) to what everyone else has already written about you, Lucky...Cats are such beautiful, delicate creatures; like treasures sent down from heaven with their grace and sweetness. They are living works of art with dear and loving hearts. I just cannot see ever hurting a cat in any way...Bless your little heart, Lucky, and bless the hearts of your human friends who took you in. Believe me, if I ever get married, it will be to a man who loves and cherishes animals (especially cats) as much as I do.
Let us not forget, the Scriptures say that God's eye is on the sparrow, and all other living things...the Creator of the Universe is aware of everything that happens to all of his creatures, great and small.
Blessings and head-bumpies from--

Lucky, your story brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry that you had to endure such horrible beginnings, but am so thankful that such a wonderful family took you in to care for. I am glad that there are caring people out there who don't believe all animals are "a nuisance". Animals should be loved and cherished, but unfortunately so many people just don't get it. They don't know what they are missing in not having the love and companionship of a "fur kid", but also, they don't deserve to either. So to you Lucky, I hope you have many, many more years of happiness! To your family, thank you for showing us that there are those with truly kind hearts-bless you!
Sweet Lucky, we didn't make it to COTD yesterday, but had to add our wishes for your future and thanks for your wonderful purrsons who love you so much. We hope you have many years in the sunshine with all the love you deserve. You are a beautiful boy!
All of our cats are rescues...some had been mistreated - some just dumped and uncared for or injured...we are all so glad to read your "success" story - be happy, sweet Lucky.

Hello beautiful Lucky! What an amazing story of rescue and love. Bless your humans for taking you away from that awful place and into a home where you are so much loved.
I live in Chemung County and will be moving to Steuben County sometime this summer. Lucky, if you ever need some extra kitty cuddles, just let me know!
Congratulations Lucky!! You are absolutely gorgeous.:) I'm so happy to hear of the happy home you now have, no one deserves it more than you. Bless your family for caring and making a difference.

Yeesus Marta, how can some people be so heartless? Millions of scowly faces to that merciless boss and big smiley ones for this boy's rescuer. Next time act right away, please?
