Majestic Mushkin

[susannatuttapanna]

What a delightful post, phesina! Thank you. I'm so blessed I found Mushkin when I did. She had just arrived at the shelter and the management wasn't surprised I adopted her so quickly.

Mushkin is often a lap cat, so I get to pet her lots 'n lots. And, yes, her fur is mighty soft and shimmery, almost like glitter. She is a lovie and she is soooo loved!

Thanks, again, for your thoughtful post.

Dearest Mushkin, a.k.a. Miss Meow, what a stunningly beautiful Bengal Lynx Colorpoint kitty you are! Your fur looks so soft and gorgeous, and what a sweet face you have, with those big blue eyes so full of love and delight. I wish I could reach through the screen over to Berkeley to pet you! Oh, well, since I can't, I know your loving and beloved Meowmie will pet you lots for me .

And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! At the shelter you recognized your Purrrson right away as your new Meowmie and adopted her on the spot. You have been helping her to heal after her beloved Russian Blue kitty went to the Rainbow Bridge at age 20. You make her smile with your antics, listening to music with her, jumping six feet to the top of your cat tree, retrieving ping pong balls and plastic bottle caps. You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

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

When I found Mushkin, 'twas a strong connection
We sure shower each other with affection
In fact, 'twas love at first meow
"Won't you take me home: here 'n now!?"
Best decision of '13, without question!

Mushkin truly is my pride and joy
She's loving 'n sometimes oh so coy (as in: quiet and reserved; shy)
And when she gets so rowdy
Jumps on my lap, meows: "howdy"
That's when I'll pull out plenty 'o toys


By the way, she's grown into her tail!

Hello Mushkin, it's a pleasure to meet you. What a BEAUTIFUL cat you are--stunning. I am so glad you have a wonderful home where you are no doubt loved and vice versa. I enjoyed all the terrific photos and your blue eyes are beyond lovely. I hope you have many more happy healthy years with your human. Congats on being COTD!

Oh, beautiful Mushkin, Miss Meow! What a gorgeous kitty you are, with your gem-like blue eyes and your wonderful markings! You are a busy kitty, too - going up to the top of your cat tree; playing with a ball or a plastic bottle cap! And being a purr-fect kitty model - I like the picture of you with your tail wrapped carefully around your paws! You have conversations with your person and stay close by when there is music to be heard! I smiled when I read that you like the camera strap, because my kitty always did too. You are beautiful! I would love to gently pet you - since I can't, maybe your person will give you some extra petting for me. Happy, happy Cat of the Day and Happy New Year to wonderful Mushkin!

Hi Mushkin! Happy Cat of the Day, sweetheart!

Oh, what a gorgeous girl you are, Mushkin, a blue eyed beauty of heart stopping proportions! Your photos have turned my heart into a puddle of pure...mush! And I can't help but notice how beautifully your bedding compliments your coat and eyes!

I'm so sorry to hear that you and your entire fur family needed to be surrendered, but what a loving and devoted final forever human you chose to be yours! For sure you and your mom were destined to be together, and what a heavenly match you make! Hopefully your siblings and fur mom and dad found their ways to loving forever homes as well!

What a beautiful best friend your human has in you, Mushkin! As your mom says, what's NOT to love! And as for being spoiled, well, that's just as it should be! Just ask my furkids!

Thanks for the BIG smiles, Mushkin! Enjoy your much deserved day in the spotlight, being treated to all your heart desires and more! Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Mushkin, Cat of the Day EVERY day!

Thanks, tatsxxx11, for your wonderful message.

Rest assured: Mushkin's whole family was fortunately adopted within a short while of being in the shelter. The trauma of Mushkin's separation from her family was deep, and it took me several months to fully gain her trust. She spent much of the time, at first, underneath an unreachable console table (where I placed pillows, catnip & mousie toys to provide her with comfort). Little by little, she'd come out. Then she'd start to follow me around every room which she always does now (17 months later). Now she greets me at the front door when I arrive home. (Sometimes I get a glimpse of her at the window, awaiting my return! Love that!)

Early on, Mushkin curled up on the rug outside of my claw-foot tub while I take a bubble bath. She lets me pet her and never strays. I've heard Bengal's are one of the only breeds that adore the water; and it's true for Miss Meow. This is a daily ritual for us.

Your furfriends are adorable, by the way!

Happy New Year!

[susannatuttapanna]

Thanks for noticing how well Mushkin's bedding matches her fur, tatsxxx11! One of the first things I purchased was a new coverlet with blue highlights to match her gorgeous eyes. Truth be told, she looks good in any photo, but bringing out those baby blues is so fun!

Thanks, again, for noticing!
