Greetings sweet Mezzy and happy Cat of the Day to you! I noticed...the tongue! hehe My kitties do that too; so precious! Now what's this about Meezers having a bad "rep?" Not the ones I've had the pleasure of meeting, though they have all been big "talkers!" That's one lucky mom, having had a beautiful best fur friend such as you by her side these many years! And I have a feeling your dad just might be your biggest fan, well, maybe 2nd biggest! My sympathies to you and your family on the passing of your beloved buddy Carmel, Sunshine Thankfully you have your mom, and she you, to help ease the sadness And you know Mezzy, I think your mom is right, you've still got a lot of living and loving to do, to 20 yrs old and beyond! Much love to you on your big day, your much deserved day of honor, precious Mezzy! Hope you and your family are enjoying a very happy "top cat" day! Hugs and kisses to you, sweetheart!
