Charming Chico

[phesina]

Dearest Chico, what an utterly gorgeous grey and white tabby gentleman you are! You are so handsome, with that soft-looking fur and your sweet face with those big green eyes full of so much love and wisdom gained over your 13 1/2 years. I wish I could reach right through the monitor to Palm Desert, CA to pet you! But since I can't, I know one of your loving and beloved family members will pet you for me .

You and they have been together almost your entire life, ever since that fateful day when you were eight weeks old and they came to the shelter and you adopted them immediately! What a match made in heaven that has been for you and them! You keep things running in the household, checking that phone calls are answered promptly and newly-installed electronics operate properly. You and they carry on detailed conversations together. When you were younger, you excelled at jumping great heights to retrieve toys. Now you most enjoy cuddling with your Purrrsons and getting your tummy rubbed and snacking on various people-delicacies. You are their best friend, not "just" a pet! What a delightful love-filled home you all share!

Congratulations, darling Chico, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your whole family and all your friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, perhaps some extra tummy-rubs and even some nibbles of ... shrimp, filet mignon, angel food cake, vanilla wafer cookies, extra sharp cheddar cheese, sweet corn!!!!!
