Dearest Simba, what a handsome, distinguished gentleman kitty you are! You have the most beautiful pale orange and white soft-looking fur.. oh I wish I could reach to London and pet you! And what a sweet face, with your white whiskers and pink nosie and half-open eyes with the expression of pure "been there, done that" contentment. And we love your white toesies with the pink paw pads, too. You certainly are a gorgeous feline!

And not only are you gorgeous, you have the most wonderful family. How nice that you and your mum got to grow up together! You and she are Best Friends Forever, aren't you, playing together and cuddling together and you drinking from her cups and you waking her up so you can get up together. You are her little lion, and you and she love each other dearly. And you have two other kitty housemates to play with, and four doggies that mummy protects you from. What a long, love-filled life .. almost 17 years now!.. you and your mum have shared and we hope will continue to share for a long time to come.

Congratulations, darling Simba, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your mum and your whole family are all enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, even some more catnip and some new little rubber balls to play fetch with.
