Gorgeous George!

[Karen]

What striking good looks you have George, so you get to be our very special Caturday Cat of the Day! We are so glad you were among those rescued from that horrible start in life, and unlike many others, you survived long enough to not only get well, but choose your new forever home that day at the shelter. We are glad you were firm but persistent, and your new people got the message that they had indeed been selected as the lucky ones who got to take you home! We are glad you daddy still calls, and you all keep in touch. You are the first tuxedo with heterochromia (that is what the scientific term for "odd-eyed is) we have met, but that is not the reason you are so special! You are Caturday's Cat of the Day because you are much loved, handsome, and such a sweet kitty! Congratulations again, George!

Concatulations gorgeous George on being COTD. You are one handsome dude with beautiful eyes. I wish you lots of treats today and every day for the rest of your life.

I am used to seeing dogs with a brown eye next to a blue eye but I have never seen an animal with a green eye next to a blue eye. It's very striking. Even if you just had those beautiful green eyes you would be striking, they are somehow different then regular green eyes on cats... I can't really explain what makes them so neat. Anyway happy POTD.

You knew who you wanted to be with, and you made the right choice.
You are much loved by several people and that is a wonderful thing.
Celebrate your world famous day.

Thank you for your kind remarks. I didn't realize his post had gone up (Christmas rush maybe?) and totally missed it until this week in March! Yikes! To celebrate this achievement, when the weather is nicer I am going to get him a harness so he can go outside. He's an indoor cat because his front claws (not me!) were removed and I worry about his ability to defend himself.

Stunning tuxie George with your sweet pink nose and amazing, gem-like eyes! What a handsome kitty you are! How wonderful that you were rescued from a difficult living situation, and you chose your family in no uncertain terms that day at the shelter! Now you have a wonderful forever home complete with everything you could possibly imagine and more. You specialize in a head-bump that causes your person to drop an object, so your person's hand is free to pet you! Brilliant! (but sometimes a problem if the object is breakable) Just one problem, your person has a photo of you sending an object to the floor . You snuggle with your person for sleep and even with your dog-buddy! I would be happy to hold something and receive one of your strong head-bumps, or to help you play with your favorite toy, or just to pet you! Happy, happy Cat of the Day to wonderful, gorgeous George, kitty who has defied the odds for sure!

Wow what a cool looking cat!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!! Contratulations George. Your fur patterns and your eyes make you look like a very special cat!!!!!!!!!!

Dearest George, what a stunningly beautiful young Tuxedo boy you are! Those eyes are like jewels, an emerald and an opal, in that sweet face of yours, and I love that pretty pink nosie and the white whiskers and eyebrows. You look so content and relaxed in all your photos! I wish I could reach through the screen over to southern Ontario (not far away) to pet you and skritch that little chin of yours.. But since I can't, I'm sure your loving and beloved family members will pet you and skritch your chin for me .

And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have, too! We are so very glad you and your fellow cats were rescued from that awful situation. (We're sorry that they didn't all survive, and we know those kitties are now Angels at the Rainbow Bridge.) And you certainly knew just who your new Purrrmanent family was and adopted them right away at the shelter! Even though your adopted Pawpie no longer lives with you, he often visits, and you also keep in touch with him by telephone.

Now you have a terrific home, which you run just the way you like it! You let people know when you require attention by head-butting their hands so they drop whatever they might be holding and can then pet you. You also un-clutter various surfaces by pushing things off them. And when your Purrrson is cuddled up with the doggie, you like to come take a nap on top of the dog. What a wonderful love-filled home you all share!

Congratulations, darling George, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your doggie buddy and all your family members and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, maybe even a few new things to push off tables!

You're a gorgeous boy George!!! Congrats on being COTD!

I am sorry it took so long to reply but in the busyness of the Christmas season, I totally missed the email telling me he'd been posted on Dec. 27. Thank you for the compliment, it's much appreciated.

... but I only this week (in March) found out he'd been posted as a Cat of the Day. It's quite likely I missed the email in the Christmas rush because I do get emails from here. I just totally missed it. Anyway, thank you for your very kind remarks. You are right, he really has defied the odds. Many of the 90 cats rescued from the same location as George were too ill to recover and had to be euthanized, sadly. He had worms and infections and was dehydrated, spending a month under veterinarian care before they even considered saying he was ready for adoption. Regarding breakables, George is like a magnet to them. He's broken three lamps, a laptop, two glass screens on tablets, and pretty much every drinking glass in the house. We are now using plastic hahaha .... but I just look at him and all is forgiven. I have a rescue dog as well who has her certain quirks. I am positive they remember things from where they used to live.

I am used to seeing dogs with a brown eye next to a blue eye but I have never seen an animal with a green eye next to a blue eye. It's very striking. Even if you just had those beautiful green eyes you would be striking, they are somehow different then regular green eyes on cats... I can't really explain what makes them so neat. Anyway happy POTD.

Yes, George's eyes are very unique. His condition is genetic; it's called heterochromia iridium and is usually found only in pure white cats. I am just saying what gets me on the colour placement -- his face is also half black and half white fur. The blue eye is in the white fur, and makes it look like ice. The green eye is in the black fur and black really makes the green pop. Thank you for all the compliments!

Concatulations gorgeous George on being COTD. You are one handsome dude with beautiful eyes. I wish you lots of treats today and every day for the rest of your life.

George loves his treats! He's a messy eater and loves to "golf" his de-bowled kibble onto the floor so his dog sister can have it once he's had enough. He is fed up higher so the dog (also a rescue) doesn't get his food! Thank you for the compliments.

I'm sorry I am so late replying. I totally missed the notification that George had been named Cat of the Day back on Dec. 27. We are also so impressed by his strength and determination. He had worms, some bad infections, and was dehydrated but he battled through a month's care and was finally ready to be adopted. Thank you for so many compliments! Yes, I did a bit of research and then a vet saw him on Twitter and researched and published an article on heterochromia iridium. It's usually found in pure white cats, and even then it's rare. No one has been able to figure out his odds! Thank you again, and I hope you see this after so long.
