Oh my goodness, dearest Dean Barker, what a gorgeous, handsome, great big fluffy boy you are! You are positively regal sitting there. What beautiful grey Maine Coon coloring you have, and that luxurious fur, I wish I could reach over to Sag Harbor and pet you! And those lovely golden eyes, looking out at us and telling us you know just what's what. And we love your long ear tufts and whiskers and those great big feet with the fluffy toes, too!

Not only are you very easy on the eyes, you live a delightful family, with your two kitty siblings, older brother Ringo Star and sister Jasmine, and humans that you sleep with every night. And how nice that you like to hunt but believe in the catch-and-release program, releasing your catches in the house so your humans can return them back outside! What a delightful love-filled home you all share!

Please be careful going outside! We don't want you to be catnapped again. We're so glad that you made it back home (after a ransom was paid) the first time. You might not be so lucky should something like that happen again.

Congratulations, darling Dean Barker, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and Ringo and Jasmine and your humans are all enjoying a delightful day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
