Hi there precious Mouse!!! Oh, what a huge mistake your previous "people" made in surrendering YOU! I don't know what type of pet "clods" prefer but I do know this, they were not deserving of a creature as sweet and loving as you! As has been said, their loss was your and your forever family's lifelong gain and gift of unconditional, everlasting love! I used to work at the NY Botanical Garden in the glass houses. Their resident mascot was a kitty named Mouse; you two could be twins...he too was a somewhat shy, scaredy "mouse" at heart, but a love! I hope you and your fab family are enjoying a wonderful day, celebrating your Cat of the Day honors, Mouse! Wish I were there to congratulate you in person but I hope your Mom will dispense a few extra hugs and kisses to you from me! Yay Mouse! A true survivor and our most deserving Friday honoree!
