Monty is a very handsome boy who lives with my boyfriend. When we first met about a year ago, Monty was very shy and spooked by strangers. I was very patient and took things slowly. Over the course of a few months, Monty would work his way closer to me until we were finally friends. He even comes right to the phone when he hears my voice now and I must, of course, say hello to him. Monty was found in the backyard area when he was young so we're not sure of his actual breed. He looks like he's either Norwegian Forest Cat or possibly part Maine Coon to me. All that matters is that he is very sweet and loving. My boyfriend is definitely his favorite person. Monty will sit near him most of the time and gently pat him on the chin if he needs some attention and must be patted. Now I'm slowly working on getting Monty to sit on my lap.

I hope you enjoy his pictures as much as we enjoy him.
Hello, Monty and happy Cat of the Day!

What a gorgeous gentleman you are! I like your floofy black and white fur; your l-o-n-g whiskers; and your sweet face that seems to need a *kiss*! You are very handsome! Your people think you might be a Wegie or a Maine Coon cat, and I can see the resemblance when I look at your pictures.

You live with your meowmie's boyfriend, who is your favorite person. You sit near him and give a gentle paw-tap when it is time for attention or pets! Your meowmie has been very patient and gone slowly, because you were very shy and hesitant about strangers. You are getting acquainted, and meowmie is getting to see how sweet and loving you are! She even talks to you on the telephone! You are friends, and the next step will be for you to occupy her lap How wonderful that you are getting used to her, and I hope that in time she will receive your paw-taps too!

Happy, happy Cat of the Day to dear Monty!
