    Wonderful Willa!

    Willa, what a wonderful story! You took your time finding your forever home, but I am so glad you did! Thank goodness there are people like your family willing to take a chance with a more mature kitty like yourself. There are definite rewards, like finding such a beautiful sleek tuxie like you!

    Such a deserving COTD honoree - have a SUPER day celebrating! You deserve every bit of it, Willa!

    Dear Willa, what a beautiful, sleek, gorgeous Cat of the Day you are! You are simply stunning! We're so glad your Purrrrrson decided to give an older kitty a chance.

    Happy Cat of the Day to you, Willa! May you enjoy a day full of love and fun and treats.

    Willa, You are a gorgeous lady although a bit stubborn. I'm glad your meowmie was able to get you in the carrier. You have a wonderful forever home now.

    Congratulations and have a wonderful time as Cat of the Day!

    Wonderful for sure!

    I have a special fondness for black and tuxedo cats, especially older ones. One mature tuxedo gentleman who I helped rescue some years ago is now happily ensconced as king of his household, which also happens to be a business office; he is an excellent paperweight as well as serving to greet guests. Then there's the nearly completely black old puss (now age 15) who is expert at coaxing me out of bed and sending me off to work with a smile. Kittens have their special innocent charm, but a wise old mellow cat is an excellent antidote to stress. If everyone had a Willa in his or her life, the world would be a much happier place.

    Good Morning lovely Willa! What a beautiful sleek and shiny coat you have. It is very heart warming to read about older kitties being adopted. Even if you do have to get into that big scary box thing for carrying, it's worth it! And speaking of warming, is that a heater your lying next too? I have to say you could be a twin to my RB tuxie boy Buddy. That makes you even more specialer. Will-a you have a Happy COTD for us? I know you Will-a! Happy COTD Willa!

    Lovely, winsome Willow!

    Greetings beautiful Willa! Happy Cat of the Day to you, sweetheart! I can't imagine a more perfect ambassador for "older" kitty adoption than you, Willa! After meeting you, reading your heart warming story, I have no doubt that many will be following your Mommy's sage advice, fulfilling your wish for adopters to choose the adult kitty rescue route! As has been said, you took your time choosing that "just right" forever family! But as the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait! And who can blame you for resisting being stuffed into that kitty port-o-prison! But I'm sure you would agree even that affront to your dignity was well worth the final destination!
    Thank you, sweet Tuxie girl, for ending my day with a BIG smile! I hope you're enjoying your much deserved day of honor, and here's to many, many more wonderful years of shared love and devoted companionship for you and your family!
    Love and cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Willa!

    Hello Willa, it's a pleasure to meet you! You look so young for 15 years and your pictures are very striking. I enjoyed reading about you and am glad you've had a good home for several years. I hope you and your family have many more years together. Congrats on being COTD!

  11. Hey Willa, willya be my friend???

    You are one beautiful cat with a glossy coat and a pert tail. You would be good with my Edwina who is a year or two older than you and...like you...still loves to play like a kitten with her toys.

    Congrats to a gorgeous Cat of the Day!!! Willa!!

    Willa!

    What a pretty lady you are, Willa! I'm also happy that you are now in your forever home...!!!: love:
    I too belive that we should all try to save at least one kitty - or two siblings - from a shelter. With the exception of one, all of my kitties were saved from the streets as kittens by me and/or by me and my former boyfriend. I was happy to take them in, feed them, give them a bath - which they hated - and get them to the vet. They are now all beautiful healthy cats, and range in age from 8 to 12 years old!
    Anyway Willa - I'm happy for you, pretty lil' lady! Happy COTD to you!
