Dearest Leonard, what a gorgeous Persian boy you are! You have such stunning coloring, inherited from each parent, and then there's that darling milk mustache! And what a sweet face you have, with those golden eyes full of so much love and gentleness and wisdom gained over your ten years. And then there are your white whiskers and eyebrows and ear tufts, and your long Persian fur that looks so soft, even though you don't like getting it brushed. I wish I could reach all the way to Ottawa to pet you! (But since I can't, I hope one of your loving Purrrsons will pet you for me .)

You not only are lovely to look at, you have the most delightful Purrrsonality! You don't meow, you just make tiny little "mew" sounds when you have something to say. You love your water dish being full and cardboard boxes to lie on or in, don't you. Your special Purrrson says you are the gentlest, sweetest soul of a cat that he/she could possibly ask for, a blessing who brightens every day. The troubles of the world and stresses of the day just melt away as soon as she/he holds you. What a wonderful love-filled home you all share!

Congratulations, darling Leonard, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your special friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, perhaps a new cardboard box, or even a suitcase, to lie in!
