I also posted this under another Kahlua thread.

Kahlua, I can see the beauty in you still. You are a wonderful old gal who still looks pretty. It is obvious that your human loves you dearly and you two have shared so much during your twenty years. I smiled as I read about you and will also admit that I got a bit misty eyed because you are such a senior kitty and your human wrote so lovingly about you. May you have more years together. Congrats on being COTD!

Kahlua, it's great to see a 20 year old cat being honored as COTD. You sure are a beauty. I hope that you'll be around for many more years to come. Congrats on being COTD!!!

I agree completely with what krazyaboutkatz has written! Kahlua, you are precious! Happy Cat of the Day!

Oh, dearest Kahlua, you are indeed still the great beauty! Your tuxedo pattern is striking, and you have the prettiest face, your eyes looking out at the world with great contentment and wisdom. You know so very much, that we younger foolish mortals of all species have yet to figure out!

You are clearly very much admired and cherished in your household, as your human has so lovingly documented in the photo collection. And isn't it wonderful that she appreciates the more mature creatures so very much, just as we do too. You all share a delightful household full of love!

Congratulations, darling Kahlua, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope that you and your kitty and doggie and human family (including of course Cuervo Angel) are all enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your very favorite treats.

Kahlua what a beauty you are!!!

I was surprised to hear you are 20. You certainly don't look it!!! My oldest kitty: Grandma, no longer grooms like she used to either. She will be 18 in May. We enjoy our times together while I comb her though. Older kitties are just so special. They sure have seen us through a lot!!! Please thank your loving family for sharing you with us. I hope you are enjoying your special day to the fullest.

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

My beloved old friend and feline daughter Samantha was only around until about age 17. I am still heartbroken over her loss almost ten years later. She also had reached the point where she couldn't groom herself, and I made sure to give her long black hair one final very loving combing on her last day... and she responded by purring as she had so many times before. She started out as Queen of Cats, but she graduated to the title of Dowager Empress of Cats in her later years. Friends would laugh at how she would answer to "Samantha," "Sam Sam," "Your Majesty," or "Dowager Empress." Kittens have their charm, but I do so much love the company of an older and more settled cat like Kahlua.

Now the cat who was Samantha's younger companion is 16 years old. She started out feral and only learned to trust people by following Samantha's example, developing in time into a sometimes cranky but always lovable lap cat. I'm sure that Shadow and Kahlua could swap plenty of hints about how cats can best train their humans.

As far as I'm concerned, the only problems with cats are that they simply don't live long enough and the matter of litter boxes!
