Mr. Darcy, the Cat of the Day
Name: Mr. Darcy
Age: Seven months old
Gender: Male
Kind: Maine Coon

   It took me half a second to fall in love with this sophisticated tuxedo darling with an exclamation point coming down his nose. And for several months now, the love story continues. His soft gaze wins me over even when he opens faucets with his huge paws or when he eats dirt from plants - and does he ever. Every night, he snuggles up to my neck and massages my shoulder and hair until he falls asleep, his nose pressed against my face. And if I'm really lucky, he hugs my neck with both arms before snoozing off - I don't sleep, of course, enjoying every seconds of heaven!

    He and his sister Elizabeth came into my life a short while ago and already, I can't imagine my days - or nights - without them. Mr. Darcy is a more tamed version of my pretty feral girl, himself being so elegant and sultry in his dressed up coat. Named after my favorite characters from Jane Austen, I never would have thought they would resemble them so much - the feisty and rebel Elizabeth and the composed and longing Mr. Darcy. And do they ever make the perfect couple ... of cats!!

    Mr. Darcy is the most loving, sweet, entertaining, peaceful and dearest cat I have ever met - and I consider myself so lucky to have him around! And to think it all started with a grammar text!
