Dearest O'Malley, what a beautiful gentleman kitty you are! You are an absolutely stunning very-dark tabby boy! (I read once something like all cats are tabbies; in some the marking just doesn't show.) That fluffy black fur (some tabby markings showing in the one of you lying in the sun) is so pretty and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely big green eyes. Your whiskers look almost white in the first picture, or maybe that's just the sunlight reflecting off them? Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to western New York and pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .

And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You were adopted by your dear Purrrsons when you were just a baby, and you've been with them sixteen years so far now! You make them smile with your energy and antics. You love playing 'jungle kitty' in the house plants, sun-bathing, chomping on grass, and playing with catnip toys. You are very smart, knowing when it's dinnertime, opening doors, and finding new ways to get into mischief. You love drinking water from the faucet and cuddling up in a fluffy blanket. Your dear Purrrsons say you will live forever, because you're getting old and are still running around like a crazy kitten! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

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