    Jet

    Thank you for your wonderful comments. I am Jet's "Mom". He is a wonderful, wonderful cat, one in a million. Phesina, unfortunately Jasper passed away about 6 years ago, but he is with his buddy in spirit. Jet lives with four other cats and a number of Greyhounds.

    Thank you again, we will be celebrating Jet today!

    Jet

    What a wonderful story; most humans don't do that much good their entire lives! My boy is also 17, so I know what it is like to hope for the best, but know time together is getting limited. Thank you for such a great story. Jet, happy COTD, always.

    I live in Cochrane, and know the Meow Foundation and have a friend who was very involved in PALS before she moved south of the city.

    Happy COTD, Jet - you have brought happiness and hope to so many just by being yourself. I hope you have many more days with your people. You are very loved.

    I was sitting on a sofa and all of a sudden I got tapped on my shoulder. I turned my head and saw a young black cat sitting there, looking at me.
    I LOVE when kitties choose their forever people! What a great story! Jet, you are so magnificently handsome and you have quite the career as a therapy kitty! How wonderful that you have brought joy and smiles to many people. Happy Cat of the Day to you!

    p.s., my kitty is also a "senior", so I understand about hoping for the best.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    Hello Jet, it is an honor to meet such a special kitty. As I read the article I was so impressed with your being a therapy cat and receiving the 2009 Volunteer Calgary Animal Volunteer of the Year award for your 13 years of service. I am sorry you are not well; you are a wonderful example of how pets lift the spirits of people. I do hope you have some good years left with your human. Thank you for sharing Jet with us. Congrats on being COTD; you surely deserve it.

    Oh, I'm sorry Jasper has passed on, but I'm sure he is with you and Jet and the other cats and the greyhounds sharing all your good times and love. Love is eternal, and you are all together always. God bless you all!

    I am humbled to meet such an exceptional cat - and the person who gave him a home, a heart, and a career!

    Your story gave me such a warm feeling - you are not just Cat of the Day Jet...you are one heck of a terrific representative of the healing power of pets.

    Oh! how I would have loved to have seen you at a banquet - the only four-legged creature in the room!

    Thank you Jet.

    Beautiful Jet!

    Dear, beautiful Jet!

    What a privilege it is to make your acquaintance, sweetheart, to have the chance to honor you for a life well lived, for 13 amazing years of selfless devotion to others, human and furry! I admit, your story, your heart wrenching photos (especially the one of you posing so proudly with your 2009 Volunteer Calgary Animal Volunteer of the Year award), had me in tears. You've touched so many lives over your 17 years, and no one more profoundly than your Mommy, who is truly blessed to have been touched by your unconditional love and devoted companionship these many years. As she says, you truly are one in a MILLION, and the healing, the joy and laughs and smiles you have brought to so many over the course of your service, a priceless gift. A very special place in heaven has been reserved for you, Jet, though I have a feeling your work on this earth is far from done!

    Enjoy your much deserved day of honor, beautiful boy, celebrating with your proud Mommy, your kitty and doggie sibs, and all of your countless adoring friends and fans! I'm so sorry Jasper is not there to celebrate with you in person, but no doubt he's looking down from the Rainbow Bridge, so proud to see his brother being honored here today!
    Much love and gentle cuddles to you beautiful Jet, Cat of a Lifetime!

    Star,Tigg'r , Mollie and the10 Gallon Gang!

    And my Rainbow Bridge Furangels...Jingles, Cody, Fritz, Chessa, Satin, Buddy, Lizzie, Oliver, Squeaker, Moonbeam, Rosie, Ruby~

    Jet the magnificent!

    Congrats on being COTD! Glad to hear of all the patients you have helped through the years. My twin sister and I used to smuggle our kitties in our coats as children when we visited people in the nursing home. I think it was just for our enjoyment, but I realize now that the people we visited probably got a kick out of seeing some cool cats. This was in the early 1980's. It is really neat to see now that the medical facilities have caught on that pets are good therapeutic treatment for patients. Thanks again for being one cool kitty! Robin

    Sweet Jet

    What a wonderful story. Jet, you are such a good volunteer and full of so much love. Thank you for all your years of helping people.
    Now that you are retired, I know that you will be getting a lot of love from those that love you. What a sweet kitty.

    As a Mom to 3 now deceased therapy cats, your story brought tears to my eyes. There is nothing more touching than to see a therapy cat at work. It is not work to them, they have an innate sense who needs their special therapy most. Jet is one of those great cats!!! I am so sorry to read that Jet's health is not well, but I know he is lovingly cared for. Such a special cat of the day!!!
    Nine is Fine!!
