Hi Gertie in sunny CA! Happy Cat of the Day!

Oh my! What a beautiful Tonkinese x Maine Coon kitty you are, Gertie! Your long, plush black coat is gorgeous, as are those bright amber colored eyes! You're a beauty, that for sure, and just as beautiful inside as out! And weighing in at a svelte 18 lbs, 30 inches long and 12-13 inches tall, no denying your Maine Coon creds! So much gorgeousness to love!

How lucky your human was, that fateful day at the shelter when you chose her/him to be your one and only, and the rest is happy history!

I was standing in the adoption shelter looking at the different cats, and this medium sized black fluffy kitten came to me bearing a stuffed toy in her mouth. She dropped it at my feet, I smiled, bent down for the toy, and threw it, and from then on she had played fetch right into my heart.
And clearly it was a case of love at first sight for your human, too! What a heavenly match! She/he is only lucky soul, having a furkid, a best friend and loving companion in you, sweetheart! You're a treasure, a gem, and so very deserving of your big day of honor!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, Gertie! Meeting you today, reading your mom/dad's heartwarming tribute, seeing youe bevy of beautiful photos, has been a real treat! I hope you're enjoying a very special Cat of the Day celebration, sweetheart...chowing down on some yummy chicken with homemade gravy, hehe, playing with sister Spot and cuddling with your human, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Gertie, our very special and most deserving Cat of the Day, EVERY day! Love to dear sister Spot, too! Off to visit your deviantArt page!

Such a beauty!!!
