We are glad you were firm but persistent, and your new people got the message that they had indeed been selected as the lucky ones who got to take you home! We are glad you daddy still calls, and you all keep in touch. You are the first tuxedo with heterochromia (that is what the scientific term for "odd-eyed is) we have met, but that is not the reason you are so special! You are Caturday's Cat of the Day because you are much loved, handsome, and such a sweet kitty! Congratulations again, George!
I'm sorry I am so late replying. I totally missed the notification that George had been named Cat of the Day back on Dec. 27. We are also so impressed by his strength and determination. He had worms, some bad infections, and was dehydrated but he battled through a month's care and was finally ready to be adopted. Thank you for so many compliments! Yes, I did a bit of research and then a vet saw him on Twitter and researched and published an article on heterochromia iridium. It's usually found in pure white cats, and even then it's rare. No one has been able to figure out his odds! Thank you again, and I hope you see this after so long.
