Hope for Howie

[Sashymo]

I was delilghted to have read that you sing a morning song to Howie. I, too, sing to my cats. We have a special good morning song, our own Aubade, and I have an entire repertory of songs I sing to my cats. A favourite is my adaptation of Eartha Kitt's It's So Nice To Have A Man about The House where man is substituted by either "cat" or the cat's name and the other lyrics adapted. It is popular around our house. You really must hear Eartha Kitt sing the original. Members of a certain age will know it well. Eartha Kitt was sinuous and feline herself.

I'm very heartened that you fine folks rescued Howie. It breaks my tender heart fo think of his rough beginnings. You are obviously very special people.

We too would love to sing to Howie who had such a tough time as a Kitten, but now is living the life of Riley with his Big Tabby Soul Mate.
I have hope for My Josephine of many names who can be defensive towards my Found Cats, but If Howie who had it so much worse can be a Cuddle Cat, then there is hope for My Gray Cat Of the Future.

How Lucky you are Howie to find your FurrEver home where they understood al the the many hardtimes you had as a Kitten, and that you needed tiome and Lots Of TLC to overcome your fears and become such a Big Loving Cat Of The Future.

We Found Ctas are sad that you had such a hard life Howie, and hises and spits towards anyone who gave you a hard time.
But thanks to Our All Lovong Lord God above you ahve found your palce in the sun.
A Big Double PURRRRRR ^^ to Your Tabby Best Friend ^^ and a Big PURRRR to Our Newest Saved Cat ^^ Our Newst Friend ^^ and our Newest Cat Of The Future ^^ and Cat Of The Day ^^ Handsome Happy Howie ^^.

Howie what a beautiful fellow you are!!!

I loved seeing your wonderful pictures. I specially liked the ones of you and your bro. The one with his tail over your head made me chuckle. Brothers, eh? How blessed you are to have a wonderful home and such a loving family now. I hope you get all the toys your little heart desires from now on.

Congratulations, sweetie, on being our very special Cat of the Day!!!

Howdy handsome Howie! Happy Cat of the Day to you, beautiful boy. Oh, what a heart melting expression that is you're wearing in your featured photo!

As others have said, there are no words for people who would abuse a tiny kitten, any innocent creature, and it breaks my heart to think you had to endure such unspeakable neglect and abuse, emotional and physical! Thankfully those horrible days are but a far, far distant memory, now that you've found your way to your forever family...human and fury! Hmmm...Endless hours spent watching movies and cartoons and monitoring that computer screen with countless toys at your disposal; being sung to by your mom, and having a furry big brother to pal around with? Well, life couldn't be better, hehe, and no kitty is more deseerving than you, sweetheart! And oh, you make one amazing kitty model! It's no wonder you love to ham for the camera, for the camera sure does love you! (Your pictures are precious, all of them, but those of you tangled up with your brother, priceless!)
Thanks for ending my day with a huge smile, Howie! Hope you and adorable brother are enjoying your much deserved day of honor, being loved and spoiled to the max! Please have your mom give you and your brother both, a bunch of hugs (if you're in the mood) for me! Congratulations, precious Howie!

Hello dear Howie! What a rough start in life you had and now you have a wonderful home and family to love you. I enjoyed all the cute pictures and can see that you are such a happy cat. I hope all of you will be together for many years. Congrats on being COTD!

Aww, Howie! What a precious photo of you and brother Raja! I read in his Cat of the Day thread that he is teaching you all the important skills kitties need to have to ... um ... surprise their humans I am sure you are a very quick learner! You are beautiful and I hope you BOTH will have a very long, happy, joyful, fun-filled life with your caring family. Happy Cat of the Day, sweetie Howie!

Bless you for having the love and the patience to show Howie that his life with humans could actually be a good one. Yesterday our rescue, although more than full, took in two more kittens - these little ones had been thrown out of a car window in rush hour, in front of a hospital no less, in downtown Montreal! Thank goodness the person behind the car the woman was driving loved animals and quickly rescued them. Abuse of animals is heinous and unacceptable but exists in this world of ours more and more. Please encourage the shelters and rescues in your areas to sterilize all animals before they are adopted as well as discouraging any friends or families from allowing their animals to have litters (even if they use the stupid excuse that they want to show their kids the miracle of life - the sad truth is that statistics show that more than half those kittens will be euthanized in their young life, even if the person finds homes for the kittens - chances that they still get dumped at a shelter or rescue or great).

Thanks.
