His Honour HOBBES

Hobbes, you are one handsome orange kitty! Catgratulations on two very important happenings in your life:

1) Getting adopted when full grown! I know how special that is 'cause my purr~ents adopted me, Norman the King when I was probably 10+

2) Deserving and receiving the honour of COTD!!

Have a wonderful celebration and enjoy every minute of being COTD. Please kiss your human from me, Norman and from my baby brother, Felix the Prince who was found in a garbage bin as a wee kitten. People like your human are one in 700 billion.

Lots of kittykisses, sweet purrs and nose twinkies from Felix & me and our humans send you bunches of kisses too:love:

You are so cute! I'm glad that you were adopted!

I had a long-haired version of Hobbes as a kid - Troy. He also liked to lay around in a wet tub! LOL! :)

I agree. I'm so glad Hobbes found you - you do know it was that way round don't you !!?? May you have many happy years together. God Bless.

Hobbes, you orange piece of cat love!
Happy COTD and kisses to your owner for adopting an adult kitty like yourself.
You look soooo sweet!

Thank you for rescuing an adult kitty; too many times they get overlooked, and they are probably more in need of a loving home than any younger cat would be. Hobbes is gorgeous, and SO grateful for a home. Again, thank you for your kindness in adopting him. He will repay you tenfold with his love and affection.

Yippee! Another kitty rescued and loved. Another wonderful love story!! Congrats to Hobbes - a most handsome boy - on this his day! And much paw applause to his purrrrson for saving his life.

Right now there are hundreds of animals recently orphaned as a result of hurricanes Gustav and Ike...if you can take just one into your home, please do!

Noserubs, snuggles and purrs...Bari and all at Cathappy

My kitty, Pinot, just wanted me to write to her former cage-mate! Pinot (her name was Zoe then) was in the Baltimore shelter at the same time and adopted at the end of March at the approximate age of 10 months or so. She wanted to say how happy she is that one of her friends was adopted into a loving home and is healthy. She's been very concerned about all her furry friends! Congrats Hobbes - purrs and kisses to you and your new family!

I have yet to meet an ORANGEMAN that I did not like!!! Kudos to your parents for rescuing an older(not very much)kitty!! HAPPY COTD!!

What a heartwarming story- you flopping down on the sofa and purring when you first came home brought tears in my eyes.
Plus you are such a handsome, handsome boy- you really deserve being our kitty of the day today.
And Filou and Tigris who are 12 say that 6 is no age ;)

Hobbes what a gorgeous orangie you are!!! :love:

A fellow as special as you deserves an equally special home. Looks like you finally found it. I hope you and your family are enjoying your special day together!!! :)

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

What a joy to see you here today, Hobbes! You are a gorgeous boy, and sound very much like my Fister, you have the same habit with licking up running water and checking all cupboards and closets. LOL! Your family was very lucky to find you, and you to get to live with them. :) I can't believe you ended up in a shelter in the first place.

I hope you have a day filled with treats, fun and cuddles! May you live a long, healthy and happy life!

Congratulations on being our handsome
Cat of the Day, Hobbes!

What a lovely story!! It brought tears to my eyes too when I read how thrilled you were when you first got to your new home.. how happy you must have been!!!
Thank God for your human, how lucky you were!!! I wish you enjoy lots of loving years together :)

Congratulations on your special day, and thank you for sharing your beautiful picture: you are VERY handsome... I fell in love too when I saw you:love::love:

Hugs and kisses,
Astrid

Handsome Hobbes, I just want to kiss that darling face of yours! What a handsome hunk of orange you are!

As a former Baltimorean (now living on the Eastern Shore {downy ocean}), I want to give gold stars to your purrent for adopting an adult cat. Look at the treasure he/she got by bringing you into their home and life.

Congratulations to both of you!! Hope you get lots of scritches and treats to celebrate your special day!!

Archy, Binky, and I send our love and kitty kisses!:love::love:

Hello there handsome Hobbes, and a very happy Cat of the Day to you!!:love: What a hunky orange man you are!:) The moment I read your name my favorite comic strip, "Calvin and Hobbes," came to mind!:D You've got a wise human there Hobbes! Not only because she (or he) chose to go the rescue route, but because she chose a deserving adult kitty to welcome into her home and heart!:love: As your human says, the rewards are priceless and you are living proof of that, Hobbes! Congratulations on finding your forever home Hobbes, and on being crowned our very special and most deserving honoree!:) Hope you're enjoying your big day sweetheart, a day filled with lots of playtime, cuddle time and maybe a nap in the tub!:D Cuddles, skritches and smoochies to you, adorable Hobbes!:love:

Hi there Hobbes. You sure are a handsome orange boy. What a wonderful rescue story you have and it sounds like you are one happy and lucky guy.

Congratulations on being COTD!

I've been horribly busy between work and rehearsals, but I just wanted to say how I enjoyed the story of Hobbes' rescue! I've adopted all my cats as adults, and I don't think I'd have it any other way. :love:
