Dearest Gus, I was horrified to read of the conditions in which this "breeder's" kitties were kept, in particular you and your brother left to perish in a basement shed. Some alleged-humans are unspeakably evil, and it breaks my heart when innocent creatures such as yourselves are the targets of their rage/greed/aggression.

I am so glad you all were rescued! God bless your rescuers! And God bless you, Gus's Purrrson, for adopting him and giving him such a wonderful new home!

Sweet Gus, you are Gorgeous indeed. You have those stately Maine Coon looks, with the long fluffy fur, the long white whiskers and ear tufts, the big paws, and those lovely green eyes with such a look of love and wisdom in them.. you have learned way too much in your two years. Now you know what a wonderful home and family you have. What a great photo collection, too.. you now, mellow and wise, and you as a kitten, and is that your brother with you in the second picture? What darling children you were!

I wish I could reach through the screen over to Hamilton, ON to pet you! But since I can't, I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me .

You have the sweetest disposition, too! You are full of energy and love to play with the laser light, "hunt" squirrels and birds from the window, and play with your kitty roommate pals Archie and Sophie. And you are full of affection, always wanting to be close to someone, head-rubbing the nearest leg, giving rough kitty-kisses, and being a great cuddler. You are your human's very best friend. You and he/she love each other dearly, don't you! What a delightful love-filled home you share.

Congratulations, darling Gus, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you, your dear Purrrson, Archie, Sophie, 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.
