We have a Cat of the Day!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

My husband and I are cat people. We’ve submitted several photos to Cat of the Day over the years, but none ever got picked. We’re not bitter; we understand that there is intense competition for one of the mere 365 days in a year and many thousands of adorable and interesting cat pictures out there.

But we got one!! Hoot sat on my laptop and somehow pulled up the COTD website (it’s my homepage, so he probably hit backspace a number of times) and we knew we had them! So we took the shot! They HAD to put his picture up - it’s got their website on it!!*

And here he is: our Cat of the Day.

(N.B. If you read this after 7/17/09, you’ll have to go look at the Previous Cats to find Hoot. We only get one day.)

*I really don’t know if that had anything to do with it. He’s pretty damned cute. :smiley:

I saw that kitten and admired his cuteness! I visit the site every day. Congrats!

I have two COTD myself - Abby, who sadly passed away on June 23rd of this year :frowning: and Hanna. It is a great honor! Yeah, we’re cat people too. :slight_smile:

I know that it takes time between nomination and getting a COTD, how old is Hoot now? Any new pictures?

Thanks, fellow cat people! I love the cat threads on the Dope and just had to share our joy.

The picture was taken and submitted about three weeks ago, so he hasn’t changed much. Instead of one handful of, how did my husband put it, “thumbtacks and barbed wire,” he is now two handfuls. Or he would be, if our hands weren’t bloody stumps.

Your cats are beautiful, Boscibo. I’m glad they got to be COTDs! I’m so sorry about Abby. I know she’ll be missed.

He’s just adorable. I keep thinking I’m going to get me one, but I have enough trouble keeping me.

Wow, that is the cutest freaking kitten ever. Hoot looks like a mini version of one of my cats, so that’s another reason I like him. :slight_smile:

SQUEEEEEEEE!

I can’t believe I never knew about COTD!
