Dearest Taquitos, aka Taqs, Taks, Teeks, what a beautiful ebony kitty you are! Your sleek, shiny black fur is stunning and looks so soft to touch. And what a sweet face you have, with those big pale-green eyes so full of love and delight. I wish I could reach through the screen to Las Vegas to pet you! But since I can't, I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .

And what a wonderful story you have to tell: first left with the good people of the no-kill shelter, you were then adopted by your Purrrmanent Purrrsons to come live in your wonderful Furrrever home, Kittyland (Formally Meowstantinople)! You are full of energy and make your Purrrents smile at your antics such as carrying your food bowl upstairs. You like watching the hummingbird feeder, climbing to and hollering from the top of the kitchen cabinets, and just being adorable. You and your Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you! What a delightful love-filled home you share.

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