My Pepper was COTD on Sept. 21,2003. Unfortunately he had passed away in Feb. 2003. I received an e-mail from Karen telling me that he had been selected. It took quite a while before he was chosen. I've also nominated Storm and Sunny but they've never been chosen and it's been several years. I probably won't nominate any more cats because I already feel that they're COTD to me. I know that Karen and Paul receive thousands of nominations but it would be great to see more of the regular PT cats as COTD.
