And The Winners Are...
Meet January's 2007 Cat of the Month Photo Contest Winners

January 2006 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by The Cat Connection Shop Cats


Owner: Sandra DeJong
Cat's Name: Morningstar
Breed: Norwegian Forest Cat
Age: 6 years old
About the Winner:

Here is what the owner has to say about her incredible kitty, Morningstar.

“Morningstar's most remarkable feature is most certainly the astonishing almond eyes that capture your heart in their unrelenting gaze. And one twirl of the long fluffy tale is sure to charm even the most cynical.

Morningstar's favorite toys are interactive ones that engage her abilities. For instance, she admires her "fishing paraphernalia" which includes a fishing pole with a pre-attached fish dangling from the end of a long casting line. Another is a fishing pole with a feathered bird that squeaks. Between these two items she sometimes spends hours pawing and maneuvering as if she really were out on the banks of a river waiting to get a nibble. Perhaps it is owing to her Norwegian Forest ancestral breed that she enjoys such an adventuresome lifestyle!

She also likes to play with balls, paper bags and shoe laces. And my Morningstar has her own version of "playing house" in the home-styled cat condo that boasts two story levels. However, when it comes to quiet time you will find her peering out my living room window at chirping birds in the morning hours, which is slowly becoming her favorite part of the house to escape the daily grind. Amidst it all Morningstar still manages to spend quality time with me at the end of the day as we snuggle together on the couch, her in my lap, watching some of our favorite prime-time television programs. "Ain't life grand?!"

Morningstar and I are honored to receive the award and recognition for "Cat of the Month Winner"! Your Cat Connection website has long been one of our favorite websites devoted to resourceful information for the many feline lovers in the world. We offer our heartfelt thanks to see that the uniqueness of Morningstar's photo was able to capture your hearts and minds as well.”

Congratulations Morningstar!

January 2006 Cat Connection Winner
Voted "Cat of the Month" by the On-Line Poll Participants


Owner: Amanda Frangella
Cat's Name: Scooter
Breed: Siamese
Age: 1 year old
About the Winner:

Here is what the owner has to say about her precious kitty, Scooter.

“Scooter is a mischievous little feller. He loves to play feather. That's his favorite game. Every morning we go upstairs and he runs to his playroom, and crouches down like he's going to attack. He waits ever so patiently for you to grab the stick and then he goes nuts!!! Its feather time. He can jump so high. Its amazing.

Scooter loves our other cat Kiki so much, but she is not too thrilled about him. However, she has warmed up considerably. She lets him snuggle w/ her once in a while, and they play chase and wrestle. Scooter also loves his perch(s). He has two, and loves to sit and bird watch. Meeee-oooowwwww. In the summer, his favorite place is in our screen house. He can sit out there all day. They are not allowed outside so that is outside for them. They are some spoiled little additions to our family, and the whole house enjoys them. Thanks for picking him. We love him so much.”

Congratulations Scooter!
