Congratulations to beautiful Meiko, today's most adorable Cat of the Day!
You are my favorite kind of kitty, not only are you a Vermont kitty but you are a black and white cutie with a black nose and chin and even black paw pads (panda paws) like my RB cat Samantha.
I know how it is when you Vermont cats get a taste of the outdoors when you are young, you just want to be out in the beautiful Vermont countryside as much as possible. My RB Samantha was always good about staying in our yard and now my cats Milly & Izzy are leash trained so they can safely enjoy the great outdoors as well.
It sounds like you and your owner have a special bond like I had with my Samantha, so I am sure that you will get spoiled today because it is your special day!
I would love it if your owner joined Pet Talk so we could see more beautiful photos of you sweet Meiko.
