Dearest Hippo, what an utterly gorgeous Tuxedo gentleman you are! And what a great photo collection you've shared with us. You have the sweetest face, with those green eyes looking straight out at me in the first one. I wish I could reach over to Gloucestershire and pet you! I hope Meowmie will pet you for me. And then there are a number of illustrations of what a gifted sleeper you are. That photo of you on the purple cushion on your back with your legs stretched out is priceless! And that one of you in Meowmie's arm is so sweet.

You knew right away who your Purrrfect Purrrson was, didn't you, and you made sure that you and she adopted each other. And you made yourself right at home once you got home. You love to play, especially hide and seek, and you show your love and generosity for your Purrents by bringing them presents such as sponges and live birds and dead things. And you love to sleep, on Meowmie's office chair or in boxes, and at bedtime you nudge her for midnight cuddles and then fall asleep, usually on your back with your legs in the air! You were even featured as an icing Hippo and Meowmie and Pawpie's wedding cake! You definitely rule that household, and you all couldn't be happier. What a delightful love-filled home you all share!

Congratulations, darling Hippo, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and Meowmie and Pawpie and all your friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and your favorite treats and games, maybe even another round of Hide and Seek!
