Dearest Shoe, what a sweetie you are! You are an absolutely adorable guy with that soft-looking Brown Tabby fur and that sweet face with the pretty white whiskers and eyebrows and those lovely big green eyes gazing right at me. You look so wise and thoughtful! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Cleveland to pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .

And what a delightful story you have to tell! You showed up at the home of your family-to-be in the middle of winter fourteen years ago. They decided to take you in that day, and ever since then, they've been so glad to have you! You are a great hunter and have kept the house completely free of mice. You're very relaxed and out-going, and you love people. You come up to greet visitors to your home. You demand a lot of "lap time," and you can be quite vocal when necessary. You got your name from rubbing your dear Purrrsons' shoes with your paws.. marking them as YOURS! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Shoe, 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.
