Hi Opie! A very happy Cat of the Day to you!
What a big, fluffy, gentle giant of a boy you are, Opie, and apparently a perennial kitten, too! And as has been said, I too think there's more than a bit of Maine Coon in your lineage; you've got the looks and personality!
I'm so very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved predecessor, Max. What a great loss for your human and fur sister, Sophie. But happily you came into their lives, helping to heal their broken hearts and wounded spirits with your joyful, fun loving personality, your sweet and loving ways! How lucky your family (human and furry) is to have a best friend and loving furkid, a devoted and nurturing furry sib in you! And how lucky are we, having a kitty as deserving as you as our very special and most deserving, honoree!
Thanks for the BIG smiles, sweetheart! I hope you and Sophie are both being treated to an extra special day of celebration, being spoiled to the max!
Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Opie!
