Dearest Monty, what a handsome Egyptian Mau kitty you are! You are so pretty with your silver-tabby fur and your pale-green eyes in your sweet face. I wish I could reach through the screen to Keansburg, NJ and pet you! But since I can't, I hope one of your loving family members will pet you for me .

You look so happy, resting with Meowmie on the pillow and then riding Pawpie's shoulders. You know you are living the good life, don't you! And what a wonderful life it is for you as a people-lover and a shoulder-rider and a face-licker and a nose-to-nose cuddler. You get to take a shower every day, which may not be what every cat likes but you like. You have a different relationship with each person in your family. They all love you so very much, and you love them just as much right back. What a delightful love-filled home you all share!

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