What a stunningly beautiful boy you are Chino, with such a beautiful, heartwarming story to tell (with a little help from Mom). You couldn't have happened upon a more perfect forever family sweetheart, and they are equally blessed to have found a loyal and loving best friend in you! I'm so sorry to hear of your very serious illness, and the tragic passing of your sister Shyla. Anyone who has ever doubted the capacity for companion animals to grieve the loss of a family member need only read your story! Thankfully, you all have one another to lean on when times are tough; to turn to for a smile, a cuddle and a kiss...just because! Your family is truly special, and I'm so happy knowing that one most deserving kitty found his way home!

Congratulations on being crowned Cat of the Day, Chino! I wish for you and your family, human and furred, a very happy day of celebration, and a lifetime of unconditional love and devoted companionship! Hugs and kisses to you, beautiful Chino!
