Superb Smokey

[MadelineS]

Happy Cat of the Day, Smokey! Congrats on being crowned "top cat!"

What a magnificent Maine Coon kitty you are, simply gorgeous, and not looking a day over 6! Not sure which is more impressive, your long, fluffy coat or your incredible black and burnt orange coloring! And you know, you really are teasing us with that "belly up" pose! Now there's a tummy begging to be rubbed!

I'm with you, Smokey! Not fond of change either! Besides, why mess with perfection, for that is exactly the life you're leading, one of utter perfection! Then again, you knew all along what you were in for the day you chose your family for your very own...a life of luxury, pampering, and endless love!

Yes, your family truly is blessed, having a furkid as "sweet, smart, curious, patient, loyal, affectionate, and sometimes amusing," as you, having known your love and companionship these near 14 years (with many more yet to come)!

Thanks for bringing some much needed warmth to my cold and snowy day, Smokey! Meeting you, seeing your precious photo spread, made my day so much brighter!

Enjoy your much deserved day on center stage, sweetheart, being loved and pampered to pieces, treated to all your heart desires and more!
Lots of love, cuddles and kisses to you, beautiful Smokey, Cat of a Lifetime!

Thank you so much! Smokey is indeed very special, and we appreciate his getting the chance to be on center stage. Sounds like you are somewhere in the Northeast where you have certainly gotten hammered with the weather this year--hopefully you've seen the last of the big storms for a while.

Oh, superbly gorgeous Smokey! What a beautiful kitty you are with your full, fluffy coat! It looks black and grey with many touches of red, how lovely! You let your person meet the other kitties that day, and then you came to say, "This person is MINE!" I would like to gently pet you, or comb your wonderful coat if you like to be combed. Or give you a huge hug, because you are magnificent! Happy, happy Cat of the Day to sweet Smokey!

Thank you for your kind words! Yes, Smokey does indeed have a beautiful coat. When I adopted him at the shelter, his fur was entirely black, except for a small white spot on his stomach. But after a while, bands of a rust brown color began to come in (although one of the photos makes the brown part of his fur look slightly more red than it actually is). And yes, his purrrsonality is absolutely delightful!

You're welcome, Madeline! And to you and Smokey, welcome to Pet Talk!

Smokey, you look so much like a cat I had years ago, Ebony. Enjoy your special day. You are the classic example of "who adopted whom?"

That's right. He definitely adopted me.

As the day will soon come to a close, I'd like to once again thank everyone who posted comments. We were very touched by all the nice things people had to say about Smokey.
