HELLO TO A SWEET LADY TUXIE DOWN UNDER FROM A NEW YORK/USA CAT LADY! ONE OF MY BABIES IS A MALE TUXEDO WHO WILL TURN 7 IN THE FALL! HE IS LARGE-ABOUT 20 POUNDS. HE LIKES PEANUT BUTTER AS OFTEN AS I CAN MAKE MYSELF A TRIPLE DECKER SANDWICH-OR GIVE IT TO SAMMY ON A SPOON. HE WOULD LOVE MEETING YOU MIMI! I AM HAPPY YOU ARE IN MONTE'S LIFENOW. IT IS ALWAYS HARD WHEN OUR CATS PASS ON-I HAVE BEEN THERE. MIM-I THINK TUXEDO CATS ARE IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES-BECAUSE THEY ARE CLOWNISH-AND THE SQUEAK YOU MENTION-I LOOOVE WHEN SAMMY SQUEAKS! I FEEL SO PROTECTED AND LOVED WHEN MU TUXIE LAY DOWN WITH ME. HA HA HE IS LIKE A LARGE TEDDIE BEAR-NO A REAL ONE-HE'S GREAT! IT SOUNDS SO SWEET WHEN I READ ABOUT U RIDING ON MONTE AND PLACING YOUR ARM AROUND HIM! SAMMY LOVES TO WATCH MY DVDS OF MEERKAT MANOR-AND ENJOYS ME AND WHATEVER I DO. I HAVE A SECOND CAT-A DIVA NAMES PEPPER WHO IS DSH WHITE WITH PATCHES OF GRAY TABBY. CONGRATS TO YOU MIMI DEAR-ON BEING CAT OF THE DAY! BEST WISHES SUSANSWATLIN518
