    I'm so happy Pete is COTD! What a darling and clever one too. I'll just bet he is partly Bengal, it's pretty easy to spot. It's wonderful Pete is getting the excellent care and meds he needs, his peeps did not give up on him, not for one second!! Please give Pete a wee cuddle for me😻

    Precious Pete!

    Good evening, Pete, a.k.a. Pizza Mediterranean Kittanunu! Happy Cat of the Day to you from a fellow Jerseyan...by way of Tenafly and Demarest!

    My Tabby loving heart went squish the moment I saw you up on my Cat of the Day page! You're beautiful, precious beyond words, 16 lbs of pure feline purrfection, and so very deserving of your Cat of the Day crown! If ever there was a poster boy for kitty adoption it's you, Pete! And oh, what an amazing story of survival is yours, Pete! To say you defeated the odds would be an understatement! 7 1/2 years later and still going strong!

    Pete is a special kitty because, when he was six months old, he was said to have dry Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), which is normally fatal. The vet who diagnosed it, after a bout of fever and vomiting (and a biopsy), told us that Pete had less than three months to live. But we didn't give up on our Pete. With a lifetime regimen of Prednisone and vitamins, Pete is still going strong. But, sadly - to him, anyway, he must remain an only-cat and can't go outside to play.
    Even the best of vets can get it wrong, and oh boy, didn't he/she get it wrong in your case! 3 months to live? Well, you showed them! A fighter and survivor, a miracle kitty, that you are! And each and every day since that grim prognosis you've not only proven the experts wrong, but brought immeasurable joy, love and laughter to your humans' lives! Your humans treasure each and every day with you, for sure, and I have a feeling, 7 1/2 years later, you've still got a ton more living and loving to do. But now, can we talk about your penchant for accompanying your humans to the bathroom?

    How lucky your humans are, having a furkid, a best friend and loving companion as special, as sweet and loving as you in their lives, Pete! You're a treasure!

    Thanks for ending my day with a BIG smile, sweetheart! Meeting you, reading your amazing story of survival, learning of the love you have for your humans and they for you, has made my evening! Hope you're enjoying a very special day of celebration, sweetheart...strutting your stuff, impressing the peeps with swayback swagger; playing "kitty in the middle; cuddling with your humans, being loved and pampered to pieces! Lots of love, snuggles and smooches to you, precious Pete, our very special and most deserving Cat of the Day, EVERY day!

    SO precious!!!


    Star,Tigg'r , Mollie and the10 Gallon Gang!

    Hello, sweet Pete and happy Cat of the Day!

    What a handsome fellow you are, with your sweet face, your l-o-n-g tail, and your purrrrrfect Tabby spots and stripes! *smooch* I am glad you're doing well on your regimen of prednisone and vitamins! You are a busy kitty- scratching on a plastic bag, playing "kitty in the middle", and even accompanying your people to the bathroom! (Kitty and person must not be on opposite sides of a closed bathroom door!) Then it is time to pause and snuggle with your people, and be a camera star! You are a strictly indoor kitty, but I imagine you have a good window seat to keep an eye on all that is going on. It's safe and warm inside, too. Best of all, you are a loved fellow!

    Happy, happy Cat of the Day to dear kitty Pete!

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!


    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    "We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet

    Pete

    Dear Pete,
    At a young age, you were diagnosed with an illness that was said to be fatal. But here you are today, 8 years later and you are healthy and very well taken care of and loved.
    You have developed some strange habits of your own, like wanting someone to be with you when you use the litter box. That is definitely an odd thing that most cats would not like but it is just on of the things that make you unique!
    You love plastic bags and pawing at water when it spills from the faucet! You are loved just be way you are
    You are so handsome, too! You look just like one of my cats, who is also a grey tabby
    Best wishes to you and your whole family! I hope you are many more years with them!
