Dearest Niko, what a stunningly gorgeous big orange guy you are! You definitely look like you have some Maine Coon blood in you. We're so glad that as a starving unhealthy kitten you turned up at the door of those kind people who took you in, fed you and nursed you back to good health, and adopted you into your Furrrever home.

Now you are such a handsome fellow! I love all those photos of you, you are so happy and comfortable in them! That closeup of your dear face and your big paws is so sweet, and that shot of you on your back with your tummy up is great! The pictures all make me want to reach right through the screen to Double Springs, AL and pet you and rub that tum-tum (only if you like tummy-rubs, of course)! Since I can't, I hope one of your loving Purrrents will give you some pets and rubs for me .

You are not only beautiful, you have the most delightful Purrrsonality too! You make your humans smile with all your antics. You keep snakes, lizards, mice, rabbits, squirrels (and unfortunately even a few birds) under control in your vast forest land. You love your snacks, and you carry on rich conversations, purr as loud as a HEMI, and lounge around in all sorts of contorted positions. And you are a natural born cuddler, even if you do crowd the bed quite a bit! You love your two Purrrsons dearly and they love you dearly right back. What a delightful love-filled home you all share!

Congratulations, darling Niko, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your family and your friends are all enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
