Oh, dearest Maurice, what a handsome kitty you are! You have the loveliest grey fur and the sweetest face with those pale green eyes looking out at the world so peacefully and those LOOOOONG white whiskers! I wish I could reach through the screen all the way to Germany and pet you.

You are quite the cuddle-bunny, aren't you! You are very affectionate and love to greet your family members at the door when they get home and then cuddle with them. You are a bit shy when boisterous guests are around, but when they calm down you are very nice and gentle with them.. the perfect host! You are full of fun and action, loving to play with your table tennis ball and with strings that someone pulls along on the ground for you. And you are always on the alert to the sound of the fridge door opening, since that is where the good food is. What a delightful home full of love you and your family share!

Congratulations, darling Maurice, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your whole family are all enjoying a delightful day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, maybe even some more strings being pulled for you to chase .
