I NOMMYNATE MY LADEY FUR THE BEST CAT MOM CUZ SHE TAMED ME WIN I LIVED IN THE FOREST AND GAVE ME TOONA AND LET ME LIVE IN THE BIG HOWSE AND SLEEP IN THE PEEPUL BED AND SHE KISSES ME AND SEZ I AM THE BEST CAT IN THE HOWSE AND SHE DIDN’T GIT MAD WIN I KRAWLED INSIDE THE GRAND PIANO AND SHE GIVS ME HAMBOOGER!!!! LIFE’S A TRIP!
Trip, you big numpty, you’re not eligible. But you get bonus points for sucking up to me.
I nominate my mom ’cause she rescued me from a cat hoarder (yeah… her grandma took in way more than she could possibly care for. Very sad situation.) . I don’t think I would have made it out of there alive if mom hadn’t stepped in since several of my extended kitty family didn’t.
I have everything that a kitty could possibly want! I get to sleep on mom’s pillows at night and have an endless supply of food and lovin’!
) I do have to share the place with other kitties, but I guess that’s ok too since I know we’re one lucky family and it’s good to share the love.
I nominate Calvin’s Mawmee because she took in Gleek and Sugar and Spunky and Rocky, when she already had Calvin and Samoa and Violet. Then when Spunky got sick, she tried real hard to save him. THEN she saved Newman from life on the street just as Spunky had to go to the Bridge. And she got herself a job making stuff for all the other kitties to make EVERYONE lucky, just like her brood. I think she’s the bestest. AND she helps my Mom make my page beautiful. Yep, I definitely think Calvin’s Mawmee is the best!
I nominate my mom because she is so well trained and learns quickly. She automatically lifts the covers of the bedspread so i can burrow- on my command I just nuzzle her left cheek – even if she is asleep she knows how to do this. She gives me tuna flakes and temptations – there are treat jars in every room in the house. The only thing I can fault her for is she insists on brushing my teeth, even though I hate it. And she brought my kitty sister Rusty from the SPCA… Rusty really loves being here, even though I am kind of a pesky little sister.
We nominate our MOM because she is the BOMB (diggity)
She feeds us promptly at 6:00 AM
She bathes and grooms us and cleans our litter box,
she wipes stray poopies from my brothers behind *heheh*
She takes me to cat shows and lets me show off my fancy self and crosses her fingers in hoping I do well.
Geee shes so swell, sometimes she likes to yell when we go crazy all over the house running like freaks on a spree chasing each other.
But yet shes kind and soft spoken and loves us like two little babies.. We love mommy.
While my mama is great and I would not trade her for anything, I think I agree with Arnold. When I think of a Catster mom, I think of Calvin’s mom.
Or maybe Mercy’s mom who has a whole bunch of kitties and takes such good care of all of them.
I can’t decide. Glad you’re the one making the decision, Skeez.
My brother and I would like to nominate our Meowm! We think she is incredible!! We don’t have a Dad so she takes care of us all by herself. She feeds us yummy stinky goodness and remembers to mush it up for us. She gives us healthy crunchy food too! And we get a treat each morning that she has to go to her jobbie. She has several warm, comfy places in the house for us to sleep and we always get to sleep on the big bed with her at night. We have all kinds of toys and she plays with us quite often. She brushes us and pets us and kisses us….making us feel quite loved!
I had been in a rescue for two years when Meowm decided it was past time for my furever home and she went all the way to Wyoming to get me!~~Junior
I was all alone out in the world with no front claws to defend myself when Meowm found me! She took me to the v-e-t, gave me a bath and now I live in the lap of luxury! I shudder to think what would have happened to me if Meowm hadn’t brought me home.~~Orion
[...] Tell everyone why you are the BEST Cat’s Mom ever! Share and Enjoy: [...]
We nominate our mom because she’s one of best there is! She rescued all of us from bad situations…Cappy came from a kitty mill, Scout was left for dead up in the mountains, and Riley and JD were both sick shelter kitties near the end of their lines. Mom is also super awesome because she’s our kitty tree/kitty bed. She’s been late to work because one of us was asleep on her lap and she didn’t want to wake us! Talk about well trained! She also got us fishes to watch, and they’re loads of fun! Mom bakes treats for us all the time, her own recipe because she knows how much we like it…got real tuna in there! She’s always gotten us to the vet when we’ve been sick…and she’s gone without food so we could have the best stuff she could get. She’s definitely a great hooman, and a great mom!
If our mom doesn’t win…since there are so many amazing kitty moms out there, its hard to choose…but Severus Snape’s mom…out in florida with all those kitties she takes in and helps…she’s definitely a great mom! Teal’C’s mom too…running that rescue…and knowing when its time to say goodbye to the kits who can go to other homes to make sure those who really really really need the care can stay with her…THAT’S a good kitty mom.
*purrs* Good luck to ALL the kitty moms…thanks for taking such good care of all of us kitties!
We- the 8GR8CATS nominate our PURRson- Momma Carm aka Carm the Crazy Cat Lady from Buffalo as the best Cat Mom on CATSTER! We do this because she takes care of all 8 of us and 6 of us have long furs that have to be combed and groomed almost eFURRYday… She doesn’t skimp on the things we need because she loves us so much. She buys us our special Maine Coon Crunchies Cat Foods even though the PURRice went up. She buys the World’s Best Cat Litter- because it is green and not polluting to the environment! She loves each of us for our own special PURRsonalities! She makes sure that we are nice to each oFUR too…
Some of the really special things she has done is to learn to take really good pictures of us and make us famous. Pride was the craziest tail winner in 2006 right here on CATSTER. We are in the CATS 24/7 book. We are in the I Can Haz Cheezburger book. We are stars on Cute with Chris- and Mom even lets him make fun of her for being a crazy cat lady!
We let mom go to the Zoo here in Buffalo to be a docent to teach children about our cousins the lions, tigers, servals, lynx, snow leopards and the ocelots. She says if she can get kids to love the big cats then they will grow up to protect the environment and their habitats in the wild.
Mom has run a kitty group for a lot of years. She tells other PURRsons how much she loves us. She helps PURRsons when they are sad because their own cats are sick or even when they die. She helps kitties find new homes sometimes. She helps with fundraising for rescues sometimes too.
Mom was Rainbow Joy’s La Meows Coach when she had her kittens. Pride was from that litter. She made sure that the other kitties found excellent homes!
She’s neFUR too busy fur a snuggle. She pets and holds us all every day. She makes each one of us feel like we are the most LOVED kitty in the world.
I nominate my Momma because she walked around her condo complex in the rain in her fleece pajamas trying to find out where the kitten mews were coming from when I was outside and alone. Because I quieted down and didn’t want to be found, she woke up and did that twice that night!
Now she has a whole room covered in plastic on the floor with lots of piddle pads because Georgia doesn’t understand about the litter box any more. She always helps her on the bed and off the bed when I stand in Georgia’s way so she can’t get to the stairs we have on her own.
I hope Momma is as nice to me!
Well, Skeezix, since you are interested in the pathological, let me nominate my old Wicked Stepmother for this award.
I spent the first few years of my life without her, and how different my life was.
Can you believe I was nude the first seven years of my life? Now, thanks to the old WS, I have a purrsonal outfit for every occasion. I even have my own closet.
Can you believe I was always called “Taz”, never “Sugar Lips”, “Boob”, “Princess”, the “Orange DB” (DB remaining undefined due to the presence of kittens)?
Can you believe I was never given a heated bed or fancy blanket or nest, and always got hand-me-downs?
Can you believe I was never the subject of song, verse or poetry? (You haven’t lived to you’ve heard WS chortle, during the holidays, Tazbeast Navidad)
In short, how different my life would have been without her.
I think I will keep her.
We love our food lady and loving mom. She puts up with me (JB) howling for food early in the morning, and I mean howl. When I’m hungry I don’t stop till I get a snack. Harmony usually joins in by walking across both humans till they finally get up and give us what we want. Mom loves us, feeds us, cares for us when we are well and sick. She and dad rescued Harmony from the joint.(humane society) She has taught Harmony how to trust female humans again, Harmony was abused by a female human. Harmony loves mom and now comes to her for affection and cuddles.
We think our mom is the best mom in the world and deserves the catster title.
JB and Harmony
This is my Momcat and me, I’m hoping she will win the Mother’s Day Contest, she is the best Momcat in the world., she not only spoiled me but is spoiling my sisters Presley and Paris, they are two Divas MOL~
I nominate my Momcat because she saved my life years ago from being euthanized just because the lady didn’t like cats, she took me and gave me the best home a cat could ever have, I was the King and I ruled the roost until I had to go to the Rainbow Bridge. My momcat has a heart of gold and would do anything for anybody, I hope I can look down from Heaven and see her win this wonderfur Catster Award, she like me would be on cloud 9, she truly deserves this.
*Hugs* Angel Sir Sonny Bono ~

/Shadow/P4040067.JPG

P4040067.JPG dis hurs da Shadow, i’s dun kno nuttin bout dis ting, but my mommy is da bstes in dis world. I was a wild ittle boy and had got in fites wid big old boys, hurt ma ear e did. She escued me, took all winner fur me to lean to trust her and wuv her. She talks good kitti talks to fur a humman. I’s one happy ittle boy kitty now. I gets to stay in hous and seep in bed wid my Bro Boo! He wuvs me now too.
I nominate my Servant.. or Mom, whatever you wanna call it. I hate when she pets me when I don’t want to be pet and I bite her and claw her when she does.. but she stil kisses my head and tells me I’m a very good girl. She never yells at me when I do something bad and she does that with the other kitties too. We are treated like royalty!
we nominate our mom! she is the most awesome mom a kitty could have. not only does she tend to our basic needs, but she takes time out to get us nifty toys and play with us. she keeps us company while we eat. our litterbox is never dirty. our bridge brother spike got sick (FIP) and she did not leave his side till he passed. knowing he was terminal she spent every spare moment she could with him, and he knew he was loved to the end. she also studies behaviour and medical books to get to know us better. she also can tell by our meow or how we jump who’s getting bed with her. and wshe also does kitty rescue. lastly she is going to school to be a certified vet tech because she loves (and all cats really). please consider our mom, she is pawesome!

smiles, antie bee

I nominate my Mistress. I call her Mistress cuz she’s not really my first Mommy, got one of them, but she broke her hip and gave me up. Anyway, my new Mistress took me in, on May 7th, 2007, the day before my 12th birthday, after a mean man tried to shoot me. A foster lady took me in, then she gave me to Mistress. Even though Mistress already had this weird-looking calico cat (otherwise known as Squeakers) she really wanted me and loves me like crazy! She loves it when I knead, she talks to me, even telepathically.
She was so sad when that weird looking calico went to the Bridge in December, but she was so happy to have me, now we’re closer than ever cuz I don’t have to stay in the bedroom, she encourages me to come out and kick my toys around and meow the pigeons away and everything! She tell me her problems, once in awhile she leaks all over my fur, but not often, and that’s okay. Now she’s doing two things, just for kitties! First, after Squeakers left, she decided to become a vet assistant to help other kitties like Squeakers who need help, and doggies too. . .unfortunately. She also is going to start volunteering at the Feline Rescue nearby to help other kitties just like me find good homes.
I mean, most humans want kittens to play with, not 12 year old grimalkins (I’ll be 14 on Friday!) that’s why that man wanted to shoot me, he didn’t want me to be on death row at a shelter, but Mistress and that foster lady saved me just in the nick of time! At that time, I probalby had at least five more good years left, now manybe more!
Hi Skeezix, I nominate my mom because she wrote this beautiful poem for my dear friend Shep McCormick and his mommy before Sheppy went to the Bridge:
There is no touch like my mother’s touch,
As she smooths and strokes my fur
Even with my eyes closed tight
I always know it’s her.
There is no voice like my mother’s voice
When she calls or says my name
My ears perk up when I hear it
No other sounds the same.
There is no kiss like my mother’s kiss,
So tender and so sweet.
It tells me how much she loves me
From my ears down to my back feet.
There is no love like my mother’s love,
A gift beyond compare.
No matter what the future holds,
I know she’ll always be there.
Skeezix, my man!! Thanks for featuring that picture of mom and me on the furront page of the Cat’s Meow – Woo Hoo! You really made Mom furry happy and we are both so honored. I will submit my nomination for my mom later after I’ve given it some thought but for now I just wanted to say Thanks!!
Oops forgot my URL:

Oops Ooops me again Skeezix – I forgot to say the title of the poem is “My Mother’s Touch”.
Meow!

I want to nominate my mama for this. When Daddy Murray died, Mama searched Petfinder for a Maine Coon Cat and found me. She said I had his smile.
So she called the shelter, filled out the paperwork, and got approval to adopt me. Then she and Daddy drove all the way from Dallas, TX to Waterloo, Iowa to come get me. They drove up on Saturday and we drove home on Sunday. Mama and I spent most of the drive in the back seat bonding – and it was very cold.
Then when we got home, she had already contacted Maine Coon Rescue here, and they approved her too. So she decided I needed a playmate and Allie was adopted a couple of weeks later.
I think my shelter was a “kill” shelter and I’d been there almost 30 days. They had put on my paperwork that I didn’t get along with other cats, but Mama ignored all that and literally saved my life. How can I not nominate her?
Hi Skeezix! I’d like to share this video that my mom made as a tribute to my sisfurs and me. I think it shows how much “Real Love” she has for all of us.

I would like to nommy-nate my mama. She responded to an urgent posting in the Catster forums and managed to make it to the shelter just minutes before I was supposed to get “the needle”. **shudders** She has taken me in, and loves me so much. I had some wounds from my time on the streets, and mama nursed me back to health. I always have enough food and fountain water. Mama taught me how to play with toys (I have just recently discovered chasing my tail)! I have learned how wonderful it is to cuddlebug and now I can’t get enough of it. Some of my little habits that might be quite annoying to lesser cat-lovers, mama just embraces as part of my tortiness and charm. She just pats me on the head whenever I put the mondo-bitey on her. I even have my own doggie!
And I get to cellybrate the holidays just like a real family. I have howl-o-weenie costumes, my own personalized Easter basket, my own ornaments for our pet Christmas tree, and my own stocking for Santy Claws to fill. And we have a special cellybration for my Gotcha Day (since we don’t know my actual birthday).
Yup, I’ve got it good. And mama tells me every day how much she loves me and loves being my mama. **purrs**

I’d like to nommynate my meowmy because she puts up with ALL my crazy catnees no matter what. When she first found me I was thin, lost, and declawed hanging with a group of lost cats at her apartmant complex near Christmas. She would feed us everfuryday after work and kept looking for lost cat signs. Since none were found and her best doggy frined went to the bridge we both decided I should stay.
It was tough economicaly so she handmade my first litterbox and scrounged for kitteh food fur me. She even too me to the VET when she couldn’t afford it for my fleas and allergies.
Now things are bbetter and I have my own NEW litter box,cat tree, and lots of toys…But I tell her evrefry day I can with kisses and head buts that I’d give all up just to have her lap.
I also want to nommynate Mupptes mom for her work with Best friends and of cours Hazel Lucy’s mom for her love of hummins and furries!
Little Bit, I nominate your meowmy too–that poem made my meowmy leak, so it must be good!

Dang, Mawmee has already been nominated and she is leaking tears from all the nice stuff that Arnold P. and Phoebe said!
Okay, I’d better nominate my Mawmee. Here is why I’m all about my Mawmee.
1. She saved all of us from bad situations – either from a live in the woods, or a life on the streets, or close to death in a gas chamber.
2. She feeds me wet food everytime I sit in front of the refrigerator.
3. She convinced Daddy that cats are pawsome!
4. Her heart is part cat.
5. She works really hard to help us have fun on Catster.
6. She lets us do pretty much anything we want – in other words, we are really spoiled!
7. She doesn’t like leaving us when she goes on vacation.
8. She makes our Catster pages look nice.
9. She keeps our litter boxes clean!
10. I’m her favorite (but don’t tell the others)!
There are a lot of pawsome Mommies on Catster! Thanks for having the contest, and Happy Mommy’s Day on Sunday!
Hi Efurbody! I am nominating my meowmie for the best meowmie in the world. She has done so much for me and my brofur and other kitties, and she says the thing she is proudest of is us. I was living in a foster home with just too many kitties, many who had been abandoned and strays and not treated right at all. Something bad had happened to me and there is a spot on my muzzle that is not black but white-meowmie thinks someone hit me sometime and I never forgot. I would not let anyone pet me unless they started behind my ears where I could not see their hand. After a couple of years I let my meowmie pet me starting from in front of my ears. That is how much I now love and trust her. I will even sit on her lap and get petted. That took almost four years. I do not hide when new people come to our home but I do not let them touch me. Meowmie encouraged me to come as close as I felt comfortable and now I am her love bug. I sleep with her at night and give her baths to wake her up.
My brofur Meep was just a tiny tot when meowmie took him in so he has always owned her. Meowmie has been so kind to both of us that we can now both sit on the sofa with her and it is okay. Meep can even watch me get pets without going ballistic. That is how much we know she loves us both.
When meowmie’s sister needed a cat sitter so she could go on an important trip she arranged for our favorite auntie to take care of us. The cat meowmie took care of needed twice daily medication and supervision because he was very sick.
Meowmie notices all the cats that are outside and finds out whether they have homes and tries to meet their humans so they know she will look out for them. She finds out their names and they usually will let her pet them because they know she has kitty love in her heart.
So I am nominating our meowmie for the Mother’s Day prize and hope she wins. Meep does too.
I want to nominate my Mom … she is the best ever. When I showed up on her doorstep in October she:
1. Gave me some food and fresh water and a saf place to stay for the night
2. She then and now give us lots of hugs and rubs
3. She makes sure that I and my furrblings go tho the vet to make sure that we are OK
But most of all I know that I am safe and protected.
Purrs and Hugs, Muffy
I love reading about everyone’s moms. They are all so special and do so much for us. I will tell you why I think my mom is the greatest.
1. She loves us more than anything else in the world and tells us so all the time.
2. She does the daily duties with a smile on her face.
3. She is warm to sleep with.
4. She loves my sister LuLu even though after 13 years LuLu rarely lets mom touch her and still thinks that maybe mom is going to kill her (crazy LuLu).
5. She feeds all the other cats in the neighborhood that might not have food and fresh water of their own.
6. She built an outdoor shelter for my arch enemy, Little Boy, the elderly neighbors cat.
7. She has tamed, got vet care and neutering and found homes for 2 feral cats and is now working on #3.
8. She volunteers at the Humane Society to help other less fortunate animals.
9. She always makes sure we have turkey baby food on holidays whether she is there or the cat sitter gives it to us.
10. She loves us unconditionally!
Happy Mother’s day to all moms out there. You are all special.
Here is picture of me with my mommy:
http://www.catster.com/cats/652958
I would like to nominate her for the “Best Cat Mom” award because she really went to bat for me when Daddy said “NO MORE CATS!” I was showing up at the back door for several months, battle-scarred and hungry, but Daddy (who didn’t know yet that he was my future daddy) told Mommy not to feed me. Mommy kept on sneaking food to me anyway. Then one cold winter morning, I came to the door covered with bloody scratches all over my body. Mommy said “That does it! This cat is NOT going to be outside anymore!” Usually, Mommy tries really, really hard to get along with Daddy, but she was willing to risk a fight to save me. And Daddy WAS really mad at Mommy….until he got to know me. Now he thanks her for not listening to him!
I would like to nominate my meowmie cuz she is just the bestest meowmie any kitty kat could have in da whole wide world.
She rescued me when I was 18 months old and now I iz 15 years old. I had already been taken back to da shelter 2 times when meowmie got me. I don’t know why my first two adoptions did not work out because I iz a very good kitty. When meowmie rescued me I was so depressed dat I woulds not eat or even lift my head up. The peoples at the rescue shelter wuz good to me though while I was there for almost 8 monhts, they used to let me out to socialise wif ofur animals, cuz I iz such a social kitty. At the end before meowmie gotted me, I would not even come outs to socilise
I iz the only kitty mamma has and I likes it dat way cuz she has alls her luvs for just me.
She is so goods to me. She keeps my fudz bowl fullded all the time cuz she know I do not gorge and I has a nice water fountain so I can has drinkies of fresh cold water whenever I wants to. I gets speshial canned fudz one per day too- I don’t really eats it I just licks out da juice but she still gives it to me.
Meowmie cuddles me lots and lots and she gives me Reiki treatments every morning and night so I stay healthy and happy. I just loves the Reiki treatments, they makes me all warms and fuzzy and helps settle me downs for the night.
Meowmie also lets me sleeps on the deck in the sunshine and chase bugz. Daddy takes me for walks too, but we no talk about him here.
Meowmie takes me to the lake too, wheres I has my own sunroon where I sleeps in sunpuddles all the day longs.
Meowmie is the best too cuz she helps ofur animals dat who are less fortunate than me iz.
Meowmie loves me unconditionally and never ever gets made at me. She just tells me why I shoulds not do stuff dat is not safe for me to dos. I learnded longs ago what dat wuz I coulds do and what dat wuz I coulds not do.
Anyhows, dat is why my meowmie is the bestest and why she should be da winner of dis contest. I readed all da entries and dey are alls very goods.
My mom’s the best, when I was a baby and taken from my mom too soon, (left in a box on the beach) she used to let me suck on her neck to comfort me.
sometimes the thoughts of Mother’s Day makes us sad for the mamas that have gone over the rainbow~ my mama still has her mama but am afraid that @ThatStripeyCat’s meowmie may be real sad on this Sunday so should plan special love to her and to all meowmie’s that have lost their mamas to the rainbow!
but good idea this is; don’t mean to poo poo it; it just makes us sad…. purrr
I also must nominate my meowmie due to the face that she adopted 7 of us and feed the ferals in the neighborhood on her disability check. She takes care of disabled birds too. She also crosses baby ducks like a crossing guard crosses kids at school. She gives us love and treats and we know she doesn’t feel well but still loves us all! I love all mamas…she wouldnt want me to do this but after all, all our mamas are the bestest! Thank you
I nominate my momma person because she is the best mamma in the world. She always takes in orphan kittles like me who did not have a home. Even though she does not have much money, she always takes care of me making sure I has plenty of water and the best goodie chow in the world.
She is very kind to all animals not just kitties and was once a member of the humane society and the national wildlife federation, but she cannot afford to do those things now even though she wants to.
I has a wonderful window perch she made for m so I can watch the squirrels and birdies. In addition, I have two big kitty condominiums, a little one, and a tunnel. She likes to play mousie with me and always lets me sit on her lap. She combs and brushes me so I am the cutest kitty in the whole world.
I do not know what else to say other than my momma person is the absolute best!
My mummy is the best cos when i was born in her garden she did bring me and my sister in and did give us milk and make us big and strong. She does take good care of me and loves me and when I does not feel well she takes me to see our vet lady who makes me better. My sister did go to Rainbow Bridge a long time ago and i do miss her but my mum cuddles me and she lets me kiss her even in the middle of the night when i does wake her up. I am getting old now and my legs are getting a bit stiff but my mum helps me to get up on the chairs still, she says i’m not doing badly for a 20 year old. I do still like my biscuits and my mummy buys me special little tins of fish it is yummy, i do love my mummy.
I was born on a hot summer day in July 1994. Sometime after I was born – I must have wandered away from my birth mommy – I got lost. I remember being so very hungry. One day, my mommy’s friend found me. I was tied outside, with a ribbon around my neck, surrounded by loud cars, and screaming children… and I was so hungry. She took me away from that nightmare and I leaped into my mommy’s life. At the very moment, I knew I had found my home. My mom bought me lots of food and a sand box, and I slept on a pillow next to her head. Christmas of that year I got to ride on a plane. I sat next to my mom the whole way eating salmon. She said to me, “no way I’m putting you with cargo.” I don’t know who Cargo is, probably a dog. After several months of living in bliss, my mommy adopted a sister and brother from an orphanage. When mom moved our stuff to our current home, the Cat Palace, the three of us rode shot gun in a big yellow truck. At first, we were scared. Rumor had it that moving boxes meant abandonment. But Mommy assured us that we were her children and there was no way she was going to leave us behind. In fact, she prepared and packed the truck with us in mind. Cat Condos – that’s what she called them. We each had our own spot in the cabin and slept during the whole trip. My brother and sister had long and happy lives but they are now in kitty heaven. This year, I’m going to be 15 years old. My mommy still tells me how much she loves my perfectly symmetrical face and my green-yellow eyes, lined with white fur. Last year, I turned 14, but I don’t remember much because I had a brain tumor. At first, my mom did not know what was wrong. She thought I couldn’t climb up on to things because I had gotten too chubby. When I fell in the pool – well, that’s when she got REALLY scared. She took me to see several doctors and they figured out what was wrong with me. My mom found the best brain doctor money could buy and the nice people at the hospital took the tumor out. After my operation, for the first time in years, my mom and I slept together. She slept on a makeshift bed on the floor so I would not fall down and she took me to work so she could “keep an eye on me.” I am all better now and I can see and walk again. This July my mom and I will celebrate my 15th birthday. I am so happy she found me. My mom is the best cat mom in the whole wide world.
We nominate our mom because she loved all of us, rescued most of us, and gave us everything we could have ever possibly wanted in life. Love, home, companionship, good food, great medical care, and did we say LOVE. We love her so much that we protect her now that we’re kitty angels. She gave us everything we needed when we were sick, most especially to me, Bear The Best Cat Ever, and more than we dreamed of when we were alive and we will never forget her. We’re the luckiest cats of all. We know there are lots of catster mom’s who do much for the community and we don’t mind if one of them wins; any cat on catster is lucky to have their mom. Our mom loved us best and we love our mom best, too.
Why must you people type like this? Cats talk like this? Seriously. That’s annoying.
I NOMMYNATE MY LADEY FUR THE BEST CAT MOM CUZ SHE TAMED ME WIN I LIVED IN THE FOREST AND GAVE ME TOONA AND LET ME LIVE IN THE BIG HOWSE AND SLEEP IN THE PEEPUL BED AND SHE KISSES ME AND SEZ I AM THE BEST CAT IN THE HOWSE AND SHE DIDN’T GIT MAD WIN I KRAWLED INSIDE THE GRAND PIANO AND SHE GIVS ME HAMBOOGER!!!! LIFE’S A TRIP
My mom rescued me from the shelter about 2 1/2 years ago – no one wanted me because the shelter told everyone that I was old and blind. I was sitting on the green mile, when this lady came to see me. When she first picked me up, I froze for a moment but when she sat down and put me in her lap, I knew this was the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. She told the shelter staff that it didn’t matter that I might be old and blind, that I deserved the best home I could have for as long as I needed one!
I fooled them – turns out that I’m not old and I’m really not blind….just cloudy eyes.
We nominate our mom even though Bear already did because we were all rescued by her and we think she’s the greatest. She feeds us Fancy Feast. She lets Sarah wake her in the middle of the night. She likes it when Sid curls up on her chest and nurses himself. She mostly lets me (Pete) be when I want to lie near her but not on her. She likes our unusual characteristics and defends us to dad. She loves us more than anyone can imagine, we’ve watched her cry. We loved her even more when we saw how she cared for Bear when he was sick and we know she’ll care for us just as thoughtfully and lovingly. We are the three luckiest cats in the world, but we know that all our catster furiends have it as good. Still, we wouldn’t trade our mom for any other. Plus, today she had a bath and that was really NEATO! Next time I’m going to get in with her….
Sorry, dudes – but MY mummy deserves to win dis contest cuz she let me crush her face, arms, belly AND boobs! Me like to massage her longly when she sits at the pc and she is reawly patient at mew when sometimes my claws pinch her hard (see the video) – besides, when i was a tiny baby she rescued me and my sisfurs from a high neighbour´s roof and gave us loads of goat milk, cream cheese and infinite love… she is DA best!
We need to nominate our Momma has the best Cat Momma!! She took us both in from a kitty mill and we have all been inseperable ever since. Our Cat Momma loves us very much and even though we know we make her mad sometimes we know that with our good looks and our hugs and kisses she will always forgive us.
Why we think our Momma should win…our momma loves us no matter what we do and that is the best love any kitty cat could ask for! She has been there for us when both of us were very sick for a long time, and when Bella has eye problems most of the time. We have been a financial burdon on her we know that, but she loves us and wouldn’t trade us for anything in the world! That is why she is the best Cat Momma:o)
Please consider our Momma…
Mika and Bella
We vote for our wonderful meowmy because she spoils us rotten (okay, so we are rotten on our own)! She gives us our favorite treats and brushes us every night and we each have a special place on the big bed so we can all snuggle together and then we all race to the kitchen for breakfast as soon as the alarm goes off. She doesn’t even mind that we don’t let her sleep in on the weekend (well, maybe she minds a little). Our lives wouldn’t have been the same if she hadn’t rescued us (Brutus and Phoebe) from prison or hadn’t adopted Emily from the lady who said she didn’t want her. Meowmy is very special.
I would love to nominate my Mom, because she rescued me, Sock, Simi, Awnee & Jinx (here on Catster They are two of the Arizona’s Kitties. Maybe some of you remember the 7 kitties that their family moved to Alaska) Baby, Chance, Marcelino, Bruno, Cara & Sophie, she loves us so much and also has to much love to give all the rescues kitties that are living in my house. We have 56 kitties that she takes really good care of. Her life is 100% dedicated to save fur babies! Cinderella is the only one that came from a friend’s cat (she wasn’t rescued). We all love Mom so much and we are so proud of her!! We want to wish happy mothers day to all Mom here on Catster
Our Mom is the best because she saved us from being separated, that would have been terrible for we are brothers. And we love her because she cuddles us and she always gives us kisses. Mom lets us hog the bed and hog her pillows too.
But best of all because she is our Mom she makes sure we have what we need even before herself, she always makes sure we have food and we are in good health and that our sister Cleokatra does not beat the stuffing out of us, as if she could, meow. The bestest thing is we know she loves us and we want to nominate her because she has had a really ruff start to this year and she needs something to make her feel special and catpreciated, so with all that meowed out we feel our Mom rules we bow to her, luv you Mom.
I nominate my Mom cos she is always caring. During the day, she works with young people who have mental health problems, and out of work she volunteers for Cats Protection, fostering so many abandoned and unwanted cats and kittens until they find new homes. Recently she has also been caring for her own Mom who has been unwell. On top of all of this, Mom cares so deeply for me and my 4 catmates. We all get so much love from her, she lets us go anywhere in the house and she has plenty of time for cuddles with us despite everything else she does.
I was feral when I was born but with Mom’s love I am now a sociable and loving kitty, she is so patient and I think everyone she cares for (human and cat) is so lucky.
I nominate my food lady. I know that is selfish because there are a lot of other great Catster moms out there. But she is the best because she saved me from certain death and gave me the best life I could ever have had. I was surving as a stray kitty but because of all my health problems, I would have died out there. My mom made me a promise the day she scooped me up. I was yowling and carrying on and meowing like crazy and she said to me “I will never abandon you and I will always take care of you. I will always be there for you no matter”, and she never broke her promise and I know she never will. Whatever it has taken during all my chronic health issues, she has been there to take care of me. Not only have I survived, I have thrived! I am happy and I feel great too. I know some people would say she’s not the best cat mom because we don’t have tons of other cats living with us, it is just me, but the vet said I should be an “only cat’ because of all my health problems. My mom does her best to care for other animals through lots of animal rescue work and animal activism and she cares deeply about ALL animals, not just cats. I think because she puts my needs first and respects me so deeply and cares so profoundly for other animals, that she is the best cat mom there is. That’s my humble opinion!
I nominate my mom cause she is the best. She took me in as a stray when I was emaciated and very near death. She also adopted my friend Sophia who was a captured feral kitten and gave a home to Mickey and Izzy, the barn cats who really needed to be inside and loved. When Sparkle and Maybeline needed new homes or were going to the SPCA, mom again stepped in and gave them a home. She gives us love unconditionally and that’s why she’s the best cat (and dog) mom on earth.
I want to nominate my mom because she is my best pal.
I spent the first 7 years of my life with some humans that seemed nice. The only big problem was Oliver, the evil Westy dog that became my brother. Oliver used me as a chew toy and I was told that I was his pet, which didn’t go over so well with me. I wasn’t allowed to sleep on the bed with the humans. Only Oliver could. I was a second class animal in my own home.
Then, these really nice humans rented the apartment downstairs. First it was just the guy, Mike, for a few months until he married Christine. Then they both lived in my house.I came down one day with my original human, as they all liked to visit and chat, and decided I wanted to have some of Mike’s cereal. Yum!!!! They were so nice to me, treating me like the king of the house. Christine had a pet bird and she would stand close to make sure I didn’t bother him, but I didn’t. When my humans would take me out, I’d cry at their back door or at the garage door, to try to get into their apartment. They cat sat me when my humans went away as Christine would not let them just put some dry food out for me and leave me with a bunch of newspaper for a week. I loved my time downstairs on the first floor and wished they could take me.
My humans broke up. They both moved out as they tried to sell the house. Oliver went with the man human. And I was left alone in the house, by myself. Christine and Mike would let me downstairs every night and take care of me. The only time I had to go back upstairs was when they went to work since they were afraid I might eat that pesky bird. But that’s not my way.
One night, a real estate agent let me out from upstairs while showing the house. I got all turned around and wound up on the next door neighbor’s steps since the houses looked exactly alike. When Mike found out I was loose, he was sooo mad and came looking for me….and thankfully found me. It was cold and dark and I was scared.
Mike and Christine took me! They put the bird in the bedroom and kept it closed during the day while they were out. The bird died soon after, but I swear, I had nothing to do with it!
Then they bought a house and I moved with them. I love to explore. I was only allowed outside with one of my humans and I love the yard. I help my mom garden and I eat grass.
About 2 and a half years ago, I wasn’t feeling very well. My grandma thought I was losing weight so they took me to the cat doctor. I have a hyperthyroid condition but mom gives me pills twice a day to keep me healthy. I’m doing great now and even when I try to sneak away and spit out a pill, mom never gets mad at me.
My cat mom is the best. She knows what I need without even telling her, though when I say “Mrout” she takes me outside. At night, she tells me it’s time for “night night” and I race to the bed to snuggle up between my parents’ pillows. I’m the luckiest cat on the planet to have cat parents who adore me and worship me. I’ve been with them for almost 8 years now and I’m 15 this year. This has been the best half of my life with the best cat mom ever.
Love and fishes,
Sammy
I am a spoiled brat, so I must nominate my momma. She’s the one who spoils me after all! She puts up with my biting, my scratching, and yowling in the morning, and even brings me presents! I have a nice window perch and house plants to nom, and a brand new cat tree, so I can climb way up high and see EVERYTHING in the room! She adopted me knowing I was a very naughty cat. Her best friend used to be my momma, but I liked to sharpen her husband and terrorize the other cats. But my momma right now loves me just the way I am, and plays with me, and best of all, brings me the cat food with gravy! If only she’d let me be an outdoor kitty… sigh.
My Mum is the bestest ever, she rescued me from the SPCA when I was left there with my brother, and she cried for me and my brother when she knew she could not take us both. I have lived with mum for over ten years now and she always takes extra good care of me by feeding me only good quality food and making sure I have fresh water all the time. She also only buys non toxic litter!
I have super long fur and she takes care brushing me and turning it into a game, but if I get mats, some every year, I get a special fur cut which I like a lot. Mom rocks!
We purr-oudly nominate our Meow-um as the best Cat Mom. We are all adopted and know we are the luckiest kitties in the world. Three of our family members (Tigger. Henrietta, and Tinker Belle) have left us to live in Cat Heaven. We have missed them so much. Our Cat Mom keeps their pictures out and talks about them with us every day. Things are better, but we get very lonely for them. We eat the best food; our mom drives 20 extra miles out of the way to a special store to purchase the kind that we like. When our mom is not at home, she turns on our favorite radio station so we can listen to classical music. On Saturday afternoons, we hear the Metropolitan Opera broadcast. We watch the Animal Channel and videos about cats while we are being brushed. Our mom is the very best!!
I nominate my “mom” because she rocks! I was a stray found on the street with my sibs (and no mom!) and picked up by a shelter and through them became adopted. And what a loving “mom” I got! I love tap water and all I have to do is fling the broken stopper top into the bathroom sink and my “mom” comes running to give me fresh tasty tap water. But her best trait is she allows me to have a taste of prune Activia yogurt. And she doesn’t mind spoon feeding me either! And not only does she love me unconditionally, she takes very good care of me (my health), and loves to play (with me) as well.She is the BEST! Pick her to win. She truly loves cats. =^..^=
I nominate my mom, simply put I would not be here without her. Even as tiny as I was she never gave up on me, I didn’t want to eat so she put a tube down into my tummy several times every day till I was strong enough to take a bottle on my own. She took me everywhere, I went to work , to dog shows and on vacation because she didn’t want to leave me in anyone elses care. I will be 2 in August and I still refuse to eat dry food ( yes I have her well trained) she feeds all of us only the very best human grade foods and I get special canned food, mom says I cost almost as much to feed as all the other cats put together,MOL! I still get to go to dog shows with her cause she won’t leave mo more than 8 hours because I have her convinced I am starving if she does! She works so hard to take care of us and many times can’t do fun stuff cause she has to take care of all of us but we know she adores us.
Last year when our Brother Nigg was sick she did everything she could for him and we know she will do the same for us, we just love her bunches and know she deserves this!
I’m Howard and I love my Mom because she treats me like royality… Ever since she picked me up from our local animal shelter when I was one and a half, she has loved me like I was her very own kitten….
My mom brushes me and buys me cat nip and takes me over for sleepovers to Grandma’s…She also buys me my favorite wet food, the stuff with salmon in it..YUM! She lets me curl up beside her head and share her pillow with me every night. She doesn’t even mind when I meow and meow and meow every morning for food…
I live with just mom and I know mom lets me be King.. I love her especially for that!
She deserves the very best!
we nominate our mum because even though she has very upset recently she still pampers us like my mad,our nig brother died of cancer just over a month ago and he was mummys big baby boy we miss him like mad,our mum always geta us on the couch at nite and gives us big cuddles im only 7 month and still very very cuddly with my mum although my brother bailey is 2 and he decides weather or not he can be botheres to cuddle or not haha,every week our mum buys us freash fish for a treat we just love a friday speacil dinner with our mum,she nevwer fails to tell us both how much she loves us every day,please let our mummy win shes the best by far she loves us as much as we love her – - around the world and back again,xxxxlove patch and bailey
Meows has to nominate my Mom.
She is always there to help any creature in need. She took me in when my only hope was euthansia – no kitten had ever survived diabetes – ‘cept ME! She did fund raising, and created Morgan’s Beds so that I could have double cataract surgery and “SEE The World”.
Mom does trap/neuter/return for any kittys who show up in the neighborhood. She’s trapped neighbors kittys who have run away from home, and brought them back to their humans.
Mom helped Simba, Little Coqui, and now Baby Montoya get adopted to furtabulous forever homes.
Mom just heard today about a furry special Gato who needs help. He has problems with his urethra and will need surgery. There is no money to pay for it – but just knowing about him is breaking her heart. She is going to see what she can do to help him.
That’s my Mom – she can never say No to a creature in need.
Whisker Kisses and Love to Mom

I want to nominate my mommy for best cat mom. she rescued me twice! once from a shelter, and i was adopted by her friend. but mommy noticed after a while that her ‘friend’ wasn’t a very good cat mom. she didn’t come home sometimes, forgot to feed me, and even locked me out of the apartment once. Mommy (who was ‘auntie’ then) was very upset. not only did she feel responsible for me, because she rescued me in the first place, but she and I had bonded a lot. Mommy told my Grammy that I could no longer live like that, and I would be coming home to live with them and my new brother and sister. mommy and I lived in the finished basement for a while til we all got adjusted.
my mommy tells me every day that she had no idea she could love anyone as much as she loves me. and yet, every day, she loves me more. she says that the reason i am a little overweight compared to my siblings (who are Siamese and thin!) is because God took mommy’s heart and put it inside me. she loves my paws, so for the ‘annisivery’ of the day we met (which is also her birthday) she had my pawprint tattooed on her ankle.
i know my mom would do anything for me and my brother and sister. she’d risk her life for us, because that’s what moms do. they make sure that their kids are happy, healthy, safe, and loved. thanks to mommy, we are all of those things.
hugs and purrs,
Kizmet (and Callie and Owen, too)
I nominate my mom because she is good at understanding what I am saying. I didn’t like the oscillating fan in the shelter stopping on my cage at the end of the row so I waved my paw at her and she asked to see me!
In the months since I have come to my forever family, I have helped her be an even better mom:
* I told her when my human sister was sick before mom could tell on her own and slept with her while mom had to do things like laundry and cook our food.
* I keep her company while she’s sewing by getting comfortable on the table next to her.
* I help shred newspaper to go in their compost bin! Just kidding, I play in the shreds after it goes through the shredder machine.
And this is me and my mom:
I nominate my mom cause she rescued me (and my 2 housemates) and she’s the only one who would ever put up with all my eccentricities. I am insecure and very needy and I pee in innapropriate places, but she loves and cuddles me even when I misbehave. She spends the most time with me and somehow makes Maggie & Nigel understand and not get jealous. She has spent lots of money trying to find just the right food (& treats) that I will eat more than once and is always looking for a litter that I like. When she has to leave us she gets a really nice lady to come in everyday and spend time with us so we don’t have to go to a nasty old kennel. We all love her alot and really appreciate her (especially me) and would love for her to win something nice.
Purrs and licks from Henry.
We’d like to nominate our Mom because she adopted us both from the Austin SPCA.
Minnie: I was adopted in 2001, after spending a year and a half waiting for someone to adopt me. I don’t know what Mom saw in me, but she loved me the minute she saw my picture on the SPCA website and immediately came in to see him. Even though I had never been a lap kitty before, I spend all my time curled up with her or Daddy.
Padmé: I was found as a ferral kitty and brought in to the shelter with a bunch of other kittens. Having a weakness for calico kitties, Mom saw me and knew she had to have me. Since she didn’t get to name Minuet, she took the opportunity to combine her two loves, cats and Star Wars, to name me Padmé Amidala.
We love our Mommy very much and are both so happy she loves us and chose to rescue us from the shelter.

I would like to nominate my meowmy for best cat mom because even though I am quite a challenge, she still loves me and has helped me overcome my need for insulin. I was near death just one year ago due to diabetes, but my mom would not give up on me and she was right there for me helping me get better. Now I feel like a new cat, even though I am 11 years old.
Meowmy has a real soft spot in her heart for all felines, there are 4 others in our household. We all think she is the best cat mom!

We want to nominate our Mom because she’s writing a children’s book about us! She wants to tell about how her cousin (our Mama-Auntie) rescued us from an abandoned building and brought us home and then gave us to our Mom because she was lonely and wanted kitties to take care of. Not only that, she’s planning to donate the proceeds from the book to a no-kill cat shelter.
Oh, and she spoils us rotten — keeps a list of canned food and treats we like, grows cat grass and catnip for us, sits down next to us instead of making us move, and plays music for us while she’s at work.
I would nom-inate my nom I mean Mom, because she does give me yummy food, and take care of me and my brothers and sisters (even the ones I don’t like) but I am not gonna do it.
Why?
BECAUSE SHE KEEPS BRINGING HOME MORE CATS!!
I remember when it was just me and Ollie and Emmy. We were a nice little family, and there was plenty of noms to go around, and treats were plentiful and there was always a spare lap. But then she brought home another set of kittens to “foster” (yea.. that just means she’s testing them out to see who she’s gonna keep!) and she ended up keeping Muffin and Eli!! Ok, so five isn’t so bad. There was plenty of room, and plenty of food, but there were more competition for the treats!
Em got sick with the diabetes, and mom took care of her for years before she died of cancer. I miss her, but there were special treats for me, I did like that.
But she also kept Tweedle, and Kit and now this newcomer Fleurp is obnoxious! and to top it all off there are even more cats coming and going. It is so frustrating to me when she makes a yummy smelling treat and then brings it to those baby kitties and she won’t give me any!!!
I shouldn’t complain, I get yummy food and very yummy treats, but the compeition for the treats is fierce now. I have to make sure I eat fast or Fleurp will come steal it! and sometimes when I go to get my ears scritched there will already be a cat or two on Mom and I *ugh* have to wait my turn!
Ok Ok, I like my brothers and sisters, but why can’t it be all about the Jack!!
my mom is the very best. she found me and gave a forever home. no one else would give me a chance. iam a handicapped cat ,i have no front feet and one ear is missing. everyone eles found me unworthy of a home . i would require to much care ,mom loved me on sigjt and taught me to do for myself. ilove her soooo much. i want her to win but no matter iam the winner because she loves me every day
I nominate my mommy for saving me from outdoor perils when I was just a baby-she took my sister too-and has looked after me with only proper devotion for the last 14 years. Our first owner threw us out of a car at my Auntie Jan’s farm-I had three brothers and sisters then- but the foxes and hawks got two of them. Auntie Jan couldn’t take us inside although she fed us. But when Mommy came to visit we put on the cute act and she took us home! There were more cats and a dog and we all got along very well.
Now I live alone with Mommy at a senior facility.
I wake her at least every fifteen minutes from 5:30 on in the morning but she won’t get up til 6:45-she’s very lazy! But I love her anyway.
Her biggest fault is that she takes me to the vet. Other than that she’s a pretty good mom. When I get mad at her I open the refrigerator door and leave it that way.
Why is there no place to upload a photo of beautiful me?
We nominate our Meowmy for the Best Cat Mom award because even though she has only partial use of her hand and shoulder as a result of an attack by a very bad human, she manages to go to work every day and to take care of us, plus fosters from a local rescue.
Each of us was a rescue. When Meowmy adopted Elvis, a sickly kitten of 12 weeks, her then-vet told her that most of the cats from that particular shelter died anyway, so “just do what you are doing”. Meowmy could not be deterred in her efforts to save him, so she searched for a new vet that would help her. Today, little Elvis is almost 3 years old and has evolved into a rather large Norwegian Forest Cat.
Jelly, only 2 years old, has a genetic immune deficiency (stomatitis). He had to have his teeth removed and now he can only eat soft food. Because she has to help him eat and cannot leave his food “out”, she cannot stay away from home for more than about 8 hours at a time. Meowmy buys Jelly special food and calls him her “baby”. She holds Jelly in her arms and kisses his belly. He purrs and rolls over for her as soon as he sees her.
Our Meowmy says that we bring joy and laughter to her life.; she gave each of us a chance at life itself.
Purrs, Elvis, Priscilla Purrsley’ Lisa Marie Purrsley, Peanut Butter, Jelly and the Fosters
I mew for meow-self and 29 others! Our flesh-mom is a kitty-”savior” Each of our 9-lives were were threatened by a life of torment, and/or certain death when she rescued us.
She stepped forward to bring many of us back to health by bottle feeding the youngest ones, or seeking veterinarian care for those in worse shape.
She accepts our naughty litter behaviors, temper tantrums, kittish romps in the middle of the night, furniture scratches, playing fetch, and playfully scratching her, too!
She has given up her house to us, including her bed and garage ~ she moved to the sofa, but we still keep her warm and purr with her nightly to show our appreciation!
Losing her job, we never went without food or fresh litter…and were still able to enjoy special treats and toys because she sold her plasma twice a week just for us!
Please let our flesh-mommy win…she is a true cat lover and has saved many, many more of us. She volunteers for a local trap-neuter-release program; and just started a pet sitting business to help others (yes, even doggies) from being alone at home while their flesh-parents travel.
Also, she never shows favoritism (okay, I think she loves me the best!). Our ages range from 5 months to 8 years old, and she loves us each just the same!
Many of us have come and gone, but here’s who is left for now:
Tiggy, Libby, Diamond, Zig, Callie, Sammy, KoKo, Hobie Jobie Jo, Sambo, Tux, Max, Daisy, Lily, Brice, Maya, Claudia, Lego, Andrew, Jerry, Sylvia, Missie, Bella, Petey, Mister, Minxie, Little Kitty Boy, Simon, Karen, & Mao.
We nominate our human Mom, Glenna, because she takes good care of us always, even when her arthritis makes it hard fir her to walk around. She feeds us healthy food every day, scoops our litter boxes, and grooms and bathes us when we need it. She also makes time for each of us and loves us very much.
She also is buying a mate for
Annmarie wo she can have some beautiful babies to take to the cat shows.
Our Mom is the BEST ever and we think she is the Best Mom in the world!
We sekund the nomunashun of owr pal Jeter Harris’s mom. ol’ Jete has reely tested her mom skillz this yeer with his walkabowtz and konflikt with the kitten Joba. we were wurried to deth!! Shee is a reel poster gurl for cat moms evryware. Jeter also rites a pretty fine poem too.

When I was diagnosed with HCM at 10 months old, my mommy was told, thats it, thats all there is, I have one year to live.
My mommy REFUSED to accept that, and told my vet, start your book now, your going to be famous, as I am the one that is going to make it!
My vet did extensive research and consulted cardiologists at many universities. My vet told my mommy exactly, how to monitor my heart and respiration, what signs to look for if I was in distress, and all about the various medications available and what exactly they do. She was told about feeding a good quality food, low in salt and grain free.
My mommy also looked up HCM on the web, and read any and all the information there was about this horrible disease, and bugged my vet, with many, many questions, which my vet either answered or consulted cardiologists, if she didn’t know the answer.
I had x-rays done, echo’s done, any test that would give an insight, was done. Any test that would help track my levels over time, so the vet could see if anything was changing, they could catch it right away.
Any little thing that is wrong with me, to the vet I go, and it is treated immediately, more tests taken, to see if levels or values have changed.
My mommy also bugged any Maine Coon or Ragdoll breeders, she could find, with questiions about HCM.
Then my mommy did the unthinkable, she went to the breeder I came from, and DEMANDED to know where this came from and how I got it, demanded, it be traced back from both parents, and it involved many breeders, some from out of the country.
She was met with alot of opposistion, some very rude.
She was told what is the point? He is neutered
My mommy TOLD them, so no more of me would be born.
She pushed and digged and bugged, never taking no for an answer.
Tests were finally done, cats that were positive, were spayed or neutered. And some breeders came away with new insight and responsibilty.
She calls ads she sees in the paper, for breeds that are suseptable to this disease, and asks, have your cats been tested for HCM? Most didn’t even know what it was, and thanked my mommy for telling them about it.
Then they get to listen to my story.
Any cat she comes across, that has HCM, she educates the owner, who is hysterical, like she was, and knows how the owner feels, and tells them, this is very manageable, it is not a death sentence, and tells them what they can do to help their cat.
I was diagnosed at 10 months, cutting short my very promising show career. She was told I wouldn’t live past 1 yr old. I am now 30 months old, my mommy celebrates my birthday every month, and I am doing very well, thanks to my mommy, who is extremly overly pickey and overly protective of me, and is very well know for it on the show circuit. When it comes to me, don’t mess with my mommy! I love her very very much!!
My meowmie is the bestest meowmie in the whole wide, wide world. My eye was severely scratched and was horribly infected when I was just a newborn. My wonderful meowmie scooped me up and rushed me to the hospital where the doctor said I was going to die. I only weighed a few ounces and he said nothing could be done.
It was in that doctor’s office where I was named and my meowmie was not going to take the doctor’s advice… (something about sleep)… she took me home and nursed me day and night and that was a decade and a half ago! MY meowmie knows more than the doctors!
Anyway, my meowmie send my daddy to work with a cold sandwich and then she makes me cheesy, hammy, eggs for breakfast in my own pan and blows on them until they are the right temperature and I get to nom, nom, nom on my own plate!
My meowmie cooks me lunch… sometimes it’s homemade chicken nuggets, sometimes it’s fish, sometimes it’s just tuna, but it’s never frozen or processed, only the GOOD stuff!
For dinner she cooks s’getti or roast beef or Chikin Alfredo, it’s GOOD! She makes my plate first. Daddy gets a plate too but he has to eat on paper plates, but she says I’m too good for them.
At night, I sleep right by her head on my own pillow and I have my own recliner… well, it used to be daddy’s but I like it so it’s mine now.
My meowmie really deserves to win your prize. She’s the most dedicated meowmie in the world. She demands that people stop abusing cats, she rescues cats and well, you couldn’t find a better and more deserving meowmie in the whole universe!

Dear mommy…I think that you should be the best cat mum since you have taught me so much about life. You have been there for me when the other cats picked on me and have cuddled me when I needed cuddles. Whenever I am in need of a hug you are there and so is daddy, but more you. You make sure that I have EVERYTHING that I need but go the extra mile for me.
To my beloved mummy….paws to you!!!! *purrs*
There are sooo many pawsome mums on Catster and I have loved reading about them all.
I also think there are a lot of Catster mums too that do things above and beyond.
Like Hazel lucy’s mum with all the time she puts into the purr thread.
There’s Sissy with Ole’ Furts updates,
Icebox’s meowmy for all the help she gives other furs when dealing with pages and computer problems.
Then there are the meowmy that have saved precoius fur-riends from certain death.
Like Severus Snape’s, Morgan’s, Samoa’s meowmy, Sorry I can’t remember all at this time as I know there are more.
Then there is Alfie’s meowmy that has often started group in support of Catster in need of a helping paw.
But the Catster Meowmy I’d like to nominate is Beloved Amelia’s meowmy.
http://www.catster.com/cats/421905
Amelia’s meowmy, Started a group to help fight animal abuse. It is called Paw 4 Peace and they have been fighting animal abuse where they can. She is there for all that need her along with Ele’, Bixit Boseph (taken too soon), Hopper, and all the others in the Paws 4 Peace group. I think they are all pawsome.
Headbutts and whisker kisses to all the Catster Meowmy’s purrs Mr D
hello, iwe are betsy marie and tortella angelique and we nominate our meowmie. she (and our daddy) adopted us months apart. she had lost her 13 1/2 year old fur baby in feb ‘07, due to the cat food scandel. the 6 mth old kitten they bought home was put to sleep mar ‘07 due to f.i.p. even tho meowmies heart was broke, when she heard of my predicament (that same day 3-21-07) she told daddy to adopt me(betsy) she was at the hospital having pre surgery tests done when daddy took kai in. she didn’t get to say good bye to kai. he was real sick from being in the animal shelter where they got him from. the vet told meowmie my story on the phone (kinda funny, here i was a orphen, who lost her meowmie to a murder, i was in the vet hospital, and my new meowmie just lost her kitty and was at huoman hospital). guessyou could call that fate. she was real patient with me. i got scared alot because of my past.. i kept hearing her say they would never get a pet again from a shelter. sad because i used to have 3 siblings who had gotten homes and i missed having someone to meow with when my parents aren’t home. (as you can tell, typing is not my forte, so that lewaves out the internet) the end of july that year, they went out on a tues. a.m. before they left, they sete up a cage that took up a good chunk of my play area. when they came back, meowmie was holding a little ball of fur. they got me a little sister. meowmie stayed home all that day with us. when meowmie went to work, i went over to cage. i asked tory where she came from. tory told me she had been at a shelter and seen the 2 humanswalk in. she knew then and there those were to be her humans. so she stuck her paws through the cage and grabbed ‘em by the heartstrings. they asked to hold tory and tory did the old purr,flop on back and look innocent number. tory said her little feline heart broke when meowmie asked the girl if they could hold her 2 days until payday. the girl said no. but then said the magic word “unless”. unless she has had her surgery. the girl checked. nope she hadn’t been fixed yet. so tory had her surgery mon.(sholda known something was up. ’cause meowmie usually off mon. not tues.) so basically that’s our story. 2 years later. we are 2 purrfectly spoiled rotten angels.
Hi!! I want to nommynate my mommie for Mom of the Year!!!! She took care of all my kitty mommie’s litters and my daddy brought mehome to her form his work to be her own kitty at home. She treats me like a Queen and I am very, very spoiled. She takes me for walks in my very own stroller and gives me people tuna when she is using it. She also gives me cheddar cheese when she is eating it too. I have many, many toys and she plays with me all the time. Her and my daddy also give me many rubs. I get to sleep on the people bed with my mommie. Also, my mommie is a breast cancer survivor and I took care of her when she was having chemo and I was only 5 months old and had no idea what I was doing. She loves me very much for being at her side the whole time. I never left her out of my sight. She also tells me I am so gorgeous and precious and I love my mommie with all my heart. Also when I was spayed she took care of me and I had 2 emergency surgeries after the main surgery cause of allergies. My mommie made sure I was taken care of and called my doctor every day twice. I did not like it there but when she came to take me home both times she came back and took me out of that stupid kennel. I just love my mommie so much and want her to win the Best Mom. Thank you for reading my letter. Love, Cali Lyn
Hi ! My name is kittiboi and I would like to nominate my hoomin mommy fur Mother’s Day. Mommy is truely an amazing person- she has taken in more cats than the normal mommie would. She loved a mangey, stray, street smart kittie like me. She took really good care of me and the others and when Suzy and I got sick and went over the rainbow bridge, her eyes leaked and leaaked for days into weeks that went in to monthes. She adopted four more kitties since we went away, and she loves everyone equally. She took in tinkie and baby Isis from a pet store after they had been thrown away by their hoomins, and when Ramses and kittiboi, jr. didn’t had a home, she made room for them too. wan’t give her much but we do give her all our love and kissies. We love you mommie Mindy- kittiboi, sr.
we would like our meowmie to win but this looks to be a tough contest. meowmie caters to each of our purrsonalities. I don’t like to be held and while it kills her meowmie respects that. she lets me and Charcoal scratch an old chair. she lets us run in and out whenever we want. she has crawled under the house to check on Floppy when he would not come out.
meowmie helps Peewee with her admin duties, it’s hard to type with paws.
Daisy (dog) loves meowmie because she takes her to pick up their french fry dinner every saturday.
And mom let LaWanda and PeeWee stay on with Papa TK because they have a fenced in yard. (LaWanda being the dog here).
PeeWee took a part time job as an admin along with her fulltime job in pest control. while LaWanda retired from security.
Thanks for considering us. Good luck to everyfur!!
I would like to nominate my Mommy because she is the best Mommy in the world, there is nothing she wouldn’t do or has done for us. I, Snoball and my 2 brothers Snuggles and Tiger wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for Mom. We were born the 1st week in June of 2002 (we are almost 7 now) in a barn down the road from where we live now, and we were about 3 days old and all alone, don’t know what happened to our birth mother, she took us home with her and fixed us a nice place to sleep and gave us some food. Several times a day and night she would feed us and keep us clean, until we could do that on our own. We grew up happy and healthy, not to mention SPOILED, ROTTEN and FINICKY. Mom got us all fixed as soon as we were old enough so we stay home all the time and give Mom no peace of mind. I am so finicky that Mom has to buy a turkey at least 2 times a month for me, sometimes I share, but not usually, I nibble on a couple different kinds of dry food and I only eat Meow Mix Market select tuna. For my brothers are not as bad as me, so Mom keeps 6 different dry foods for them in the kitchen in like a all-you-can-eat buffet and buys them pouches of wet food. Mom put in a doggie door for us (she’s afraid the house might catch fire when she is not home) so we can go in and out when we want and she always leaves her bedroom window open for us too, no matter how cold it gets. We live in the country out a dirt road so we have plenty of room to run and play, but Mom worries about us, (wild animals and other animals), she fixed a plank from the porch to the top of the house so if something gets after us we can get away. Then one day Mom brought home another stray cat her name is Tickles, I don’t like her much, but I tolerate her, because Mommy loves all cats. She even gets onto us when the neighbor’s cats come in, they found the doggie door, she tells us to let them eat because they don’t get good food at their house and they are hungry. We don’t want for anything, we have everything because we have the best Mommy in the World.
My name is Comet, and I am one of six kitties adopted by our wonderful mom who used to be a volunteer at the shelter. She is now too sick to volunteer anymore, but we love her very much. She is the best mom ever!!!
My name is Linus and I’m “speaking” to you thanks to Marsha Papanek’s boyfriend Richard. I’m one of 10 cats here in Short Hills, NJ. Eight of us, including Sally, Lucy, Smokey, Otis, Yoda, Pumpkin and Scooter, were born to feral moms either in Marsha’s garage (where she keeps one door open for shelter and leaves food) or in her back yard. She and Richard adopted us and found homes for almost 25 other kittens the last few years, including my dear cousins Keanu and Eloise who live with Richard’s daughter Zoe elsewhere in NJ.
But there’s also Poly, and it’s spelled that way because she’s polydactyl and has 29 toes. She was found hanging around a Panera franchise restaurant a couple years ago. She was starved, had clearly recently given birth to a litter and weighed nothing. Today she’s back to her God-intended chunkiness, and her addition made nine of us.
Lastly, however, there’s HT (that’s all it says on his old tags, none of us know what it stands for). He was Marsha’s uncle’s cat down in Dallas, but the uncle died in a nursing home and Marsha flew all the way down there to both clear up his estate AND rescue HT. He flew all the way back from Texas in a carrier at Marsha’s feet, and while he’ll probably always be a bit standoffish because he lived so long by himself with an old, ill WWII veteran of the Battle of the Bulge down South, the other nine of us like and respect HT and more or less get along with him. He’s a member of the “Top Ten.” We also realize that the care and expense Marsha invested in his rescue just isn’t something too many people would have done for one of our species. Thanks for reading this, and like Garfield (whom Richard reads to us daily) sometimes says, “It’s all about me-ow.” Well, I’m here to tell you that it should also be a bit about Marsha Papanek.
I have the best mommy because she took me and my sister in 8 1/2 year’s ago. She was our last chance. She feed’s us make all the vet appoinment’s and loves us no matter what.Gives us her time and plenty of attention and love. Even when one of kitties are naughty and fight . We have a total of eight kitties now. So I think our mom is top’s !
We nominate our Mommy because she makes each one of us feel special and worthy. Mommy has a soft spot for those of us who aren’t ‘perfect’ by society’s standards. She loves us all equally, but for different reasons, she says. Besides my wonky leg, we have 2 CH babies (Jake and Flurry), a diabetic senior (Esther), our boy Magoo, who was born without eyes and a few who had/have medical issues. Mommy even loves the special needs kitties in her work and has a place in her heart for Myrtle, a toothless12 yr old who was almost starved to death and Maya, who has one dead eye and a previously broken jaw that was never treated. Mommy always says that there is no reason to have furbabies in the house if we aren’t going to be treated like family members. She also says “what’s one more?”
I want to enter my mummy in the contest because I have the best mummy ever! Since I got too fat for my own good, she helps me groom myself. She always lets me sleep in her bed between her and my daddy and cuddles me almost all night. She buys me all the coolest toys and buys all the best foods for me. We spend quailty time together every night out on the porch. She’s even had me blessed last year. I hope my mummy wins. She deserves something nice for all the things she does for me.
I nominate my Catt for top cat mom because she saved my mom from an abusive owner and took care of her even when my mom got pregnant with me and my sister and my brother….she helped deliver us and made sure we had safe happy homes to go to….i am now almost a yr old and my mom is 4 yrs old. she loves us very much, bought us a cat bed and fancy diamond and bell collars….and has helped rescue over 35 cats from abusive homes and delivered many other kittens other than my mom and me…so plzzz let here win as shes the most gentle caring owner i know.
My Mommy
I really love my Mommy.
She is the fairest of the fair.
She loves me unconditionally,
even though she has gray hair!
She feeds me and waters me,
sort of like a plant…
and if some days she forgets,
I really rave and rant!
She rescued me from the neighbor,
who didn’t give me food,
he didn’t give me anything,
he was an awful dude!
I kept sneaking to her house
to get a bite to eat,
and while I ate, I kept dancin’ by her feet!
I loved the pets she gave me,
they felt so awful nice,
I’d rub on her leg,
so she’d do it more than twice.
One day she was feeding me
and called me Dancin’ Girl,
She said “You are a cutie,
a genuine pearl!
I think it was the third time
I had gone over to dine,
she said “I’m gonna catnap you
and make you all mine!”
Daddy got a cage and
they took me in the house,
they didn’t tell me I had to
live with that awful Mawse!
Mawsie is my sister
and she came from the ASPC…A,
she is so darn onery,
I almost rue the day!
But, no matter what,
I must tell you this,
I got the World’s Greatest Mommy
‘n the World’s Worst Sis!
Submitted by Dancin’ Girl who loves her Mommy more than Chunklit cubberd grab crackers.
My mummy is the best because when I was just a stray she took me in. I was pregnant and didn’t tell her and she still loved me and kept all four of my kittens. From then on my mummy has made it her mission to be the best muumy, she has taken in 19 stray and mistreated ctas & kittens. She buys all of the best of foods and even gives us tuna, yummy! We have toys galore and even 2 dogs to play with. If we are sick she stays up with us and doesn’t go to bed. Mummy also has time for 6 strays in the neighborhood and gives them a garage, food and fresh water & warm milk in the winter. My mummy is just the greatest because she loves all of us and would adopt every cat in the world if she could. My mummy has a big heart.

I know I have the best Mommy in the world. My Mommy found a pregnant stray cat and took her in, she had 6 little kittens and I was the runt of the littler and it was love at first site it was touch and go for me for awhile but my Mommy never let me out of her site. Now almost 9 years later I am the apple of her eye she would do anything for me, yes maybe I am a little spoiled she always buys me all kinds of goodies and treats me like a queen, even at 4:00 am when I wake her up because I want to play or I am hungry she always gets up and never yells. Last year when we were looking for a new appartment the first question my Mommy asked is it Cat friendly because I know she will never part with me. Now we are in our new pet friendly appartment and we are both very happy. That’s why I think my Mommy is so special.
My mommy isunt juss my food lady, she is my troo mommy. She res q ed me from a nice warm car en-gun when i wuz a tiny wittle muffin of fur. I wuz only free weeks old and she took me home and gave me a baff sinze i was full of flees. I had to go to the fur baby doctor so i culd get better and grow hel-thee. She evun fed me with a bottle. I am now a yeer old and she lets me and my older bru-ther (Rugby) sleep wiff her. We luv you, mommy! Luv, Lucky (and Rugby)
WE LOVE OUR KITTYMAMA. I HAVE 6 BROTHERS AND SISTERS PLUS AUNTS UNCLES. WELL THERE ARE A LOT OF US. KITTYMAMA DOES NOT HAVE FAVORITES. SHE LOVES US ALL THE SAME. EVEN WHEN WE GET INTO MESSES.
WHEN SHE COMES HOME FROM WORK SHE SAYS HELLO TO EACH OF US AND EVEN WHEN SHE IS VERY TIRED AND GOING TO BED SHE SAYS GOOD NIGHT TO ALL OF US.
WITHOUT KITTYMAMA WE WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE TOGETHER. SHE WONT LET US USE THE CAMERA. TO SHE IS EVERYTHING.
I would like to nominate my meowmy because she did find my brother. She did something most would say is crazy. Hee hee even she thinks so when she looks back at it, but hey it worked.
Only problem now I have to share meowmy with him.

My story but I think most have already seen it from the catnip Chronicles

Purrs Sam
I am 3 years old and my name is Tootsie Rose. I cannot compare my mommy with any other because she is the only one I’ve ever had. She always welcomes me in the morning with a kiss on my head right between my eyes. Sometimes her breathe is terrible but I know she loves me and she will soon brush her teeth. She goes in the bathroom and wads up a small piece of paper and throws it under the door so I can push it back to her. We do this for five or six times until I push the paper under the opposite door across the hall. Then my mommy opens the door and is so surprised to see the little wad of paper under the hall closet door. She throws it in the air and I jump up (sometimes 5ft.) and catch it with both my paws. She always applauds and gives me two cookie treats and says,”what a big girl”. She loves me so much. My Daddy loves me too. He gives me yogurt from the spoon he eats out of in his reclining chair. I sleep between his legs every afternoon at my nap time. I’m so blessededed to have a good Mommy and Daddy
I nominate my mommy because she rescued me from a humane society. Mommy found out about a month after she adopted me that I am a special kitty. I have congenital vascular necrosis of my hips. One day I woke up and both of my hips were very painful and wouldn’t work very well. My mommy took me to a special surgeon and I had a big surgery. It was very scary but everyone took such good care of me. Mommy came and visited me at the hospital, she was so worried. After a couple of days I came home and boy was I spoiled. Now my hips work great. I can’t jump as well as other kitties and I walk just a little different but my mom says it’s cute. I love her!
HI, my name is Spot but I am writing on behalf of our whole family. This is me as a kitten
When my mommy lost her kitty Peanuts (when he was 15) she went to petfinder to find a new fur ball to love. She found my pal Tater from a rescue in Idaho. Then she found my brother Patches & I in a high kill shelter in TN. We came with all kinds of goodies, like ringworm that was nearly impossible to get rid of. But she did it!
Then she saw Blue (and this is the picture that made mommy 100% sure she HAD to have him) and adopted him from a TX rescue.
A year later Scooter desperately needed help, he was very sick (almost but not AS sick as Blue was as a kitten) so mom adopted him from GA. But he gave us ALL parasites. So all of us had to go on several different meds.
Unfortunately right after this I got VERY sick. So sick mommy’s vet couldn’t tell her what to do to help me after going to the vet every few days for 2 weeks. So mom took me to a vet over 2 hours from home. They did all kinds of tests on me and told mom she had to give me shots! She learned but I kept getting sicker
So she took me back to the vet again every few days…I kept getting worse. Mommy (who is a vegan) fed me first raw, then cooked liver, baby food. Anything to try and help me get my blood work better. No such luck.
Mom ordered me special medicine from England. Those shots didn’t work either.
Mom spent hours online and wrote to vets all over the world asking for help. No one knew what to tell her
So mom took me to an internal specialist. He did all kinds of tests on me. They hurt.
This is me right after i got back from my bone marrow and assorted biopsies
No matter what mom did, nothing seemed to help and no one could tell her what was wrong with me. She spent thousands of dollars trying to save me but within 3 months of getting sick I left mommy, my brother Patches and all of the family…
Mom is still sad about losing me but she has since adopted Chance & Lucky (2 Chihuahuas) and 2 more kitties, Indy & Coco who now live with all the rest of the gang and Grimley (who was adopted from the rescue mom volunteered with for 7+ years!) the big dog who i used to think was my daddy.
I hope you think my mommy is a great as we all do!
Love, Spot
Our Mom is the best. We b oth come from rescue services and she really saved us. I, Gizzy, was 7 years old when I was adopted and no one else would take me because of my age. But Mom said ” she’s mine.” She used to travel all the time, but since we came to join her, she only goes over-nite, once in awhile. She takes GOOD care of us and Gizzy just had dental work done to the tune of almost $300.00. Mom just lives on SS, but didn’t hesitate to have the work done. She loves us very much and is always telling us how much she loves us.
I fink that my mommies is da best mommies in da hole kittie world. She really woves all da kitties!! Hers spends time at this place talled Harmony Haven, and plays wif da kitties dere dat ain’t dots no mommie, hers also donates wots of things to dem. Wike food, and ink cartridges, and even gibs them fings for da mean doggies there. They is a NO-KILL shelter so dats is also nice. My mommie also feeds wots of kitties dat live outside and don’t dots a house to keep them safe and warm. In da winter hers makes dem houses, and she eben spends her own money to get dem fixed so dey tant habe no more babies. She has rescued ober 100 kitties. She dots me from da shelter and I wove her and also wove mah big kitty sissy Miss Gina. I fink my mommie should win tuz hers goes above and beyond to help all da kitties where we live. My mommy is da bestest!!!!!!!!!
I want to enter my mom in the contest cause she’s the best mom in my kitty world. First she adopted me from the pound when everybody else said “too many cats already” and turned away. But that was just the start. From there, the meals came regularly, and 2 years later she found me a friend to keep me company for the next 12 years. She risks life and limb to protect me from the human child and makes sure daddy remembers to share his tunnie with me too. She keeps me indoors, she says it’s to keep me safe but I don’t know what from, since a couple days a week she sits out in the yard with me while I nibble a salad and nothing has ever happened. And she doesn’t even get upset when we go inside and I revisit with the salad on the living room floor. When I was 15, I started losing weight and feeling sick. Mom saw the bald spots on my feet and took me to the doctor, now she gives me a pill every day and I feel fine. While most of this is probably familiar to many cat owners, what really makes mom special is that after that trip to the doctor, mom bought me a man-purse and now she takes me with her to the store. I love to sing in Ross and Michaels, but I can take or leave Ulta. She even took me and sandy (the box) on an 8 hour car trip to visit daddy’s family in California, I had fun and met lots of new people. I am 17 now, and winding down but my golden years are still a time of making fond memories.
I would like to nominate my Mummy for this mothers day contest. My Mum is the greatest because she always puts up with me waking her up at 3 in the morning, meowing and stiking my nose in her face. She always feeds me on time, takes me to the doctor when I am not feeling well, takes me to the groomer once a month for a bath and a nail trim, and always picks me up and gives me loads of hugs and kisses. She is the greatest Mum EVER! My Mum even gives me a little extra treats, and I even sneak some when I am NOT supposed to, she gives me the “stare” but then she comes over picks me up and hugs me. I hope that my Mummy wins because she truly is the best ever! Happy Mothers day everyone!
I was all alone. Someone didn’t want me anymore and I was only about 6 months old. I wandered around and rubbed legs and purred until a couple of people in the neighborhood put out food for me. The neighborhood cats ate most of it and none of the neighbors replaced the food very often. I was really hungry all the time… Until I met my Mama Cat.
The Other One, Mama Cat’s mate, didn’t want her to feed me, because he said I’d never leave. She fed me anyway. And she kept feeding me. Then there were toys… and a place to sleep on the porch… and brushes (Ick! I guess it’s the thought that counts). I kept getting into her house and she put me back out, but she was laughing when she did it, so that was ok. Soon she took me inside herself and gave me a really unpleasant bath and had Other One take me to the evil Doctor the next day… for the whole day! But when I came back, I could stay in the house! I guess it was worth it!
Other One wasn’t too thrilled about it, but Mama Cat wouldn’t back down. I think Other One has forgiven me for staying, though. He started sneaking tuna juice and extra treats to me (even though Mama Cat said I had “made up for lost time” and needed to be on a diet), and giving me extra scratches and cuddles when she’s away. He even kept doing it after Mama Cat found out!
Mama Cat wasn’t angry, though. She just started playing with me even more. She’s always talking about how I need to play and run more and “should try burning a calorie or two.” I’m not sure what that means, but it’s fun to play with her. It’s still not as good as jumping up beside her every night as soon as she lays down to sleep, though. I love that. The last thing she does every night is scratch my head and cheeks for me. I guess I finally rubbed the right leg!
I nominate my momcat because she rocks. I was rescued in bad shape and they had to cut off one of my front paws. She didn’t care if I was going to only have one front paw. She adopted me because she luved me for me and not what I looked like. She has spoiled me rotten since the day she took me in. She buys me lots of toys, even though I really only like playing with my soda box or the paper bag. And she feeds me yummy stuff and healthy stuff. She taught me to walk on a leash so I could still get some taste of the outside. Most of all, she luvs me unconditionally. That’s some of the reasons why I think she’s the best!
Hi, I’m Lucky and I want everyone to know I have the best mommy in the whole wide world. When my sissy, Pumpkin, and I was just a couple of days old, our kitty mom died and left us all alone. My mommy heard us crying and searched and searched until she found us hidden in her garage. She picked us up and brought us into the house. We were so dirty so mommy cleaned us up real good. Then she picked us up and fed us with little bitty kitty bottles. I loved my bottles, they tasted so good. My mommy fed us every few hours with them. Everytime, she finished feeding us, she wiped our lil mouths and face with a real solf cloth. It felt so dood!. She also had to wash our behinds because we didnt have a kitty mom to do it for us. After we ate, she laid us down on a real soft blanky in a basket and we fell fast asleep.
That was 4 years ago and every night at bedtime, I run into the bathroom and jump up on the toilet seat wait patiently for my mommy to wash my face with a soft cloth. I can barely wait sometimes, cause it feels so dood!!! After she washes my face, she brushes my teeth and then we go to bed. After my mommy settles in, I curl up right next to her legs and fall fast asleep. I have the bestest mommy in the whole wide world and I love her so much. We are so glad she wanted to be our mother.
Meow!!

She’s purring along nicely in our training of her. After all, it is Our Meowmy and Our Home.So vote for our Meowmy.The in all the lands!!
Oscar Mayer here , and I want to nominate my Fur-Mommy because she truly is the “cat’s meow” in my eyes! You see, I can be A LOT of work! I actually met her through a mutual friend. He works security at a mental hospital and one night I was hanging out there and thought I should go home with him because he looked like the kind of guy who would find me a nice home. So, I decided to crawl up under the hood of his truck and ride home with him! We got to his house, he heard me crying and found me, took me into his garage and let me hang out for the night. However, the next day he took me back there and that did not fit into my plans. So, I decided to ride home with him again two more times and finally he knew he wasn’t going to win. So, he called my Fur-Mommy and begged her to at least come and meet me. She is a huge sucker and he knew that the minute she laid her eyes on me, I would have a new home!
Well, he was right!! She took me home and I am so incredibly spoiled that it isn’t funny! However, if anyone would ever tell her that I said that, I will deny it 100%. It turns out that I am quite a handful for her. She had back surgery shortly after she brought me home and had to spend the night in the hospital and when she came home, I had re-decorated our house with toilet paper!! She apparently doesn’t like my style of decorating! That was just the tip of the iceberg, since then I have gotten into a whole lot of trouble and she still loves me!! She takes me with her every weekend when she goes out of town and gives me treats and catnip all of the time! The list is too long to mention everything that she does for me and my sister, but she truly thinks of us as her kids and treats us as if we really were.
We’ve had a rough few months because our oldest sister had to be put to sleep back in October. She was 13, but Mom had her since she was 5 weeks old and she truly was her baby. We’ve all had a tough time with that and miss her more than ever, but slowly things are getting back to normal.
So, there’s my story – I know it is long, forgive me, but my sis and I love her from the bottoms of our little kitty hearts!
I love my Mommy just because she is my Mommy.
I love you Mommy!!!
I wanna nominate my mom! I think she’s the awesomest, even though I totally didn’t when I was a kitten. See, when my CAT grandmother was killed by coyotes, my human mom saved my cat mom’s whole litter and bottlefed them all until they were big and huge and healthy, and my cat mom wound up being a feral barn cat for some other people… When Cat Mom had a litter of kittens, my human mom went out to capture us and boy, we didn’t like that! I spent the first several months being very wild and afraid of Mom but that’s okay, she prevailed in the end and trapped me and my family and we all got new homes and I got to stay with her. I even got… neutered! Eeep! After what seemed like foreeeeeeeever I finally decided that enough was enough and I came out of hiding and decided that Mom was great and tamed down for her. She kept me and we moved many times between then and now, and now I have two cat brothers and a dog brother and sister too! Mom’s an RVT and she went to school just special for us and got her license and she works hard to make sure we all get fed the best food possible, and she makes sure everyone is healthy and fed before she is (she even has the flu right now but is more worried about my brother Vlad’s bum knee!). Even though I don’t like it Mom puts me on a diet because I’m a big fatty but I can’t help it I love food. When I do good on my diet, and lose weight, she gives me a tiny crumble of a potato chip and I LOVE CHIPS, my human granpa used to give them to me om nom nom… but I can only have a tiny piece now when I do well on my diet because chips aren’t really good for cats
My mom takes such good care of us all! I think she’s the best mom ever! Surely you all agree! Look at the photo she took, she thinks I’m a model :3
My mom she loves me very much,
I love her very soft touch.
She loves me so much, my collar is even cutoure,
No mom could ever love me more!
At night she rubs my chin,
And when it is time for bed she tucks me in!
When my teeth needed to be cleaned,
My mom forked over five hundred in green.
Some people said she was crazy, it’s just a cat..
But my mom loves me and laughed at that!
My mom took me in when noone else would,
She loves me like noone else could.
My mom is my best friend,
Her love is unconditional and will never end!
I’m a transplanted New Yorker, and though I love the place now, the cross-country move here a couple of years ago was awful. It freaked me out so badly that I quit eating. And you know how it is with us cats–if we don’t eat, we metabolize our body fat, and our livers just can’t handle it.
Long story short, I was very, very sick. “Hepatic lipidosis,” the vet said, “fatty liver disease.” He told my Mom that many cats don’t survive because their owners don’t have the time or patience to stick with the treatment. I couldn’t really grasp the situation at the time; all I know is that my mom cried and cried.
She brought me home from the hospital a week later–I had a tube in my nose and she had a bag full of syringes and liquid cat food. For days and days I laid completely still in a little basket as she sat by my side, stroking me and, every hour on the hour, pushing smelly brown stuff into the tube in my nose.
I have to tell you–it was disgusting. Every drop made me want to barf. And all I could do was lie there, because I was so weak and felt so bad that I couldn’t even move.
After a week, the vet took the tube out of my nose (yay!) but then he cut a little hole in my neck and stuck a bigger tube there (yikes!). I came home with a party hat–although Mom called it an Elizabethan collar. And she continued to sit by my side, pushing liquid food into that tube every couple of hours. She would bend her head over me and whisper in my ear, “I love you Milo, you’re going to get well soon, as her warm tears fell on my forehead. I would hear her tell my Dad, “I want my life back, but I can’t quit Milo!”
She kept putting my old favorite foods in front of my nose, but I still didn’t feel like eating.
As I got stronger the nausea went away. I started moving around and even visited my litterbox again. In fact, when Mom got the syringes out and started shaking the can of liquid food, I would hop into the basket and “assume the position”–lying sort of on my side so she could get to the tube easily.
After about six weeks, I guess I finally had enough of the smelly brown stuff. I went to my food bowl and tasted a few crunchy morsels. It was….good!
I still don’t understand how Mom was crying and cheering at the same time. Humans are so weird.
But you should still pick her as the winner. And tell all those other Moms and Dads out there that they CAN cure us of fatty liver disease, with lots of time and patience.
We kitties don’t have much in common, but for once we are getting together to numinate our human, previously known as Slave, then Staff, now, definitely Mum.
She knows that Rusty will never master the catflap and gets up at any hour to let him in; that Lulu is scared on windy nights and that I hate lightning and fireworks.
She is never cross with us even when Lulu stole the chop and Rusty got the steak and I had the chicken.
She looks for us to come in at night and doesn’t mind about what we have been doing, though luckily she hasn’t a clue.
She lets us get in bed at any time for snuggles and tells us “I love you” about a thousand times a day and always tells everyone we are good kitties even we haven’t been MOL.
We only get taken to the nice vet and sat up with me three nights in a row so I didn’t have to wear a scary collar after my op.
We know this is our home and if anyone comes here it is not us has to change our routine.
We have to put our paws up that she is really not too bad and in her own, way does her best.
We are all happy kities and love our Mum
We believe our mommy is the best mommy in New Mexico. She brought me home to live with Ben (the dog) and Miss Evil (old cat) from the used bookstore. and she LOVES me no matter what. I’ve brought home countless mice, three birds and one big bunny rabbit and left them headless at her feet. She doesn’t scream at me or even scold me. At least not much. She does ask me to keep them outside. But I feel the need to show her how much I love her. I rule the house and Mommy encourages me to do so. I keep Ben in line and Miss E. knows that I’m the boss around here. She spoils the 3 of us and loves us no matter what we do.
My meowmy is the best! She took in my furbrother, Fuzzy, who is now an inside kitty with me. He was a stray that showed up at the door. She also took care of a feral mommy kitty and found good homes for all four of her babies and most recently she helped an abandoned kitty find a new home. His previous owner kicked him out of the house and my meowmy took him in fed him, took him to the vet and found a home for him. This kitty was a mess. He was long-haired, full of mattes and tangles and he was crabby. He even bit my meowmy, but she didn’t care. She was determined to save this kitty who was only a year old. And of course most importantly, my meomwy spoils me rotten. She stops everything she is doing just to hold me when I am in a snuggle mood. She also just bought us a new carrier, which we like to use as a house and sleep in it. I think my meowmy is the best!!!!
We nominate our mommy ‘cuz she is the best ever! She loves us so, so, so much and would do anything for us (which, of course, we deserve).
Mommy always lets Nicholas sleep under the covers with her at night, and never, ever gets mad at him when he wakes up in the middle of night and wants to wash her face. She brings Nicholas to the vet to get his fluids (he has “old” kidneys) and makes sure he eats healthy and drinks his water.
Mommy makes sure Elizabeth gets to sleep in warm places to help her arthritis, takes her for kitty acupuncture appointments, and always has time to play with the laser mouse, because that’s Beth’s favorite.
Mommy is Charlotte’s “real” mommy! She saved Charlotte from under a bush when she was just 2 weeks old, and bottle-raised her. Mommy made sure Charlotte got fed (every hour, on the hour at first), and learned how to use the box, and helped Charlotte learn to do all the kitty things a kitty mommy would have taught her! Charlotte still thinks she is a “nursery baby”, and she and Mommy have special snuggie time every morning. When Charlotte got “fixed”, she was really sore and scared afterwards, so Mommy slept on the floor all night just so Charlotte wouldn’t be alone (she was crying for Mommy, and wouldn’t stop until Mommy was near her).
Simon loves Mommy because she plays fetch games with him FOREVER! She makes sure he gets to eat – his favorite thing to do – and gives him tummy tickes and ear scratches every day.
We love our Mommy because she loves us!!
Nicholas, Elizabeth, Charlotte and Simon
I nominate my very own fur mommy because she rescued me 2 times! When I was born to my other mommy, the one I can’t remember, outside, she was right there, and took care of us. She watched out for all of us, and then one day she almost lost me, she said some people who had helped them could have a kitten out of my brothers and sisters, and they picked ME! I didn’t want to go, and she just let me go, but when they left she cried so hard, and decided to take another one and trade me back, she never let me out of her site again! She brought me right in the house!!! I never had seen anything so big and warm! She held me all the time and loved me and kissed me!! Then one day a few months later I got really sick, I couldn’t eat nothin, she cried and worried. The vet was closed over the weekend and she didn’t know what to do, so she fed me some chicken soup broth and I got all better! I love her so much for that!! Then a while later my mommy got really bad sick!! She laid in her bed for days! I didn’t leave her side only to eat and go potty and go right back. Finally she got better, but first thing she saw whenever she opened her eyes was me sitting up on the shelf up above her bed! She said I was her Guardian angel!
I also have asthma and we also have other kitties and puppies in the house and my mommy is my mommy is mom to others too, but I’m always her first baby!
My mom is the best mom ever. She loves me and feeds me and waters me and plays with me when ever I want her to. She takes me to the doctor twice a year, or more than that when I’m sick. I don’t much like that part, but she wants me to be healthy. She pets me lots. I usually interrupt her when she’s on the PC and she always stops what she’s doing to pet and pamper me. Even when I wake her at three AM for pettings, it’s okay. She lurves me so much that she doesn’t mind!! She always buys me new toys when I lose the old ones, and she plays with me when ever I want to play. My mommy is the BEST!!

Hope the picture showed.
Our mommy is the best in the world! Over the past 10+ years she has taken in sooo many kitties out of bad homes and situations in order to nurse them and send them to people who would really love and care for them! And out of the many kitties we 9 got lucky enough to stay with her! She can’t escape our charm.. especially when we leave her presents all over the floors after we eat too many of the wonderful kitty treats she gives us and when we knock over unusual looking breaky things. She never gets angry with us, but just gives us the same look of “you silly kitties” while throwing whatever that thing that I ran into was. She lets us know that we reign over the household and even the husband man of hers knows it too! She makes sure that he cuddles with each of us and gives us oh so nice scratches under the chin which we love so much! She was kind enough also to help set up a humane society here in our town in order to help other kitties and doggies like us that needed good homes. She has a biiiig heart and loves and cares about us soo much! So please, see that our mommy is the best not only to us, but to all animals and let her know that she is the best by using words and prizes when we can’t!! Well we do give her presents.. but they tend to be misunderstood. Pick our mommy!
I and my earth sisfurs want to nominate our Meowma, Cheri. She is one of a kind and has a big heart that loves all furs, cats or dogs. She has 8 furkits living at home and one that she feeds outdoors that she calls Buddy. Not only is she the best, but she tries so hard to help other furs in their needy times. She is also a writer, amateur as she may be. She has written a story about me and my siblings that have passed and one one of my earth furbling, and one for the new fur that she rescued from certain starvation in December ‘08. Please read our diaries if you’d like to read her stories.
She has a heart of gold and has told and means to uphold this, one of her Catster friends that she will most certainly take all four of her cats should anything ever happen to her and her husband. No questions asked, she will go get them. She would never let a fur go without trying to help in some way. She crochets “catghans” for a group of blind kitties and their sanctuary to help fund another building for more blind kitties. She reaches out to those who need moral support and helps wherever she can, including rescuing if possible.
Meowma dearly loves all of her furs and would go tooth and toenail with anyone that hurt or tried to take one of them. She will go that extra mile for any and all that need help if she possibly can. She deserves this honor, if you think she’s right for it.
Purrs and Love,
Starr and the northeastern NY Galz
Here’s a better picture…
I love my mommy because she spoiles me rotten. She climbed down a long and narrow drainage pipe to get me. I was only 2 weeks old when I got washed in there at my mommy’s hotel. I barely had my eyes open, but felt her warm touch as she struggled to hold me while climbing out of the pipe. She almost dropped me a couple of times but held me tightly under her neck. I was sooooo small and sooo cold. She gave me a warm bath as I was completely covered in mud and water. She then fed me a warm bottle and held me until I got warm. She bought a lot of things from Petco the next day though everyone told her I would die as I could not keep warm, it was the weekend so no vet was open, but she always knew I was strong and would pull through. Everyday she fed me warm bottles and wiped me down as I could not drink well from the bottle, even getting up 4 times a night as I cried, sometimes for a bottle and sometimes because I was cold. But she never grew impatient as I tried to successfully bottle feed. She would cuddle me for hours just to keep me warm and make me feel safe. It worked!! The only time I was unhappy is when I was away from mommy, no one else could hold me. For six weeks she hid me in her hotel so she could feed, wash, and cuddle me. She taught me how to eat solid food by spoon feeding me canned food, it took forever, but I learned. I grew from palm size 7 onces to a full 9 pound cat. We do everything together from washing dishes (well I just sit and watch), to making the bed in the morning (I fight with the pillows as she puts them neatly on the bed), to watching t.v. at night after she comes home (my favorite show is Jurrasic Park). I never leave her side, I even hop in the shower in the mornings to be near her. But I love her because I can do no wrong and I get spoiled rotten AND because she is my mommy, the only mommy I ever knew.
Thanks mom

I’d like to nummynate my meowmie for the bestest mommy. She adopted my little sister Holly and me out of sitchiations that no self respectin kitty would even talk about. Life is heaven now. We have our own flushing potty, and fresh running water all the time. All the food we want, num…..and THEN there are the treats. We don’t gotta do nuthin to earn em…she just gives em to us cuz she luvs us so much. We do have to put up with lots of kissen, but we don’t mind…we kiss right back. We allow the peeples to sleep on our beds…and they preciate it lots. Holly makes bread on meowmies tummy, and kisses her feet…she actually acts like she is preciative er sumpin. Anyway…My meowmie deserves to win. Oh, I almos forgot to say she bought us this jynormous kitty tree that goes to the ceiling…oh the fun Holly and I have running up and down, like hickory dickory dock! Did I tell ya about my toy cupboard. I jump up on her desk, and tell her to open it. I jump on the second shelf and lean down and grab my toys and throw them hard as I can onto the floor till I get a toy I want to play with. She is so nice cuz she picks em all up every night and puts em back in my cupboard so we can play the game again. My meowmie’s the Bestest. Love, Bella and Holly

We nominate our mom because she has spent most of her life rescuing and carring for feral cats. She has nursed us back to health, neuterd and spayed us, and taken us into her home. She gives us everything we could ever want or need. She does not travel or spend money on herself because she spends most of her time and money on us! The vet says she spends more money on animal veterinary care than any other customer! She is the bestest mom ever!
My mom is only four years old but she takes special care
of me. She sneaks me food with her mom isn’t looking.
She runs and plays with me too. My mom loves Tom and
Jerry and she named me Jerry.
My mom is the best.
Well, Bumpy and I were gonna nominate our Mom for this but we discussed and decided that even though she’s a super duper mom, there’s more deserving moms here. So, good luck to whomever wins. There’s so many that deserve it!
However, we want to tell you about our Mommy. She adopted us from a shelter, I was from a hoarder and it took a long time for me to trust her. And I was skinny and my fur wasn’t very nice. That’s all changed. The last time I snuck out of the house, she was up every hour in the night trying to get me back in while I was having such a great time out there. I think she was very tired going to her job thing every day. Then I got very hungry. My mom also feeds the two strays outside but when I was a bad boy and wouldn’t come in, she wouldn’t feed any of us (so I would come back). So she felt very bad that no one got any food. She finally tricked me and got me back. She didn’t punish me at all, just sat and cried for a long time. I felt bad.
I don’t know why, since I was home after 6 nights outside. She said 6 nights was way too long with no sleep. I sure do love her.
My brother Bumpy was also rescued by Mommy. He’s my buddy and we love to wrassle. He was abandoned when a little kitty and had to have most of his tail amputated due to an injury. Mom loves him too and laughs when he gets annoyed and spins his wittle stubby tail around.
Thanks Mommy, for our good home and for feeding the 2 very hungry kitties outside too. We think you’re the best. Love, Rudy and Bumpy
My mommy is th’ best catmom ever ‘cuz she gets up ev’ry morning to feed us when Buddy licks her hair or Les Nesman lays in the crook of her arm to waker up.
She res-Qd me an my siblings 10 years ago wghen she saw someone dump 8us out of a van in the dark an even tho we were all black she found us and saved us. She has been a mom to many many of us cats and she has luvd us all.
Our mom is th’ cats meow! Luv, Buddy, Carla (thats me), Les Nesman and Rowdy — + Max, Cleo, Boo, Knuckles and Yvonne from heaven
Mummy took all of us in when we had nowhere else to live. She feeds us and gives us clean boxes every day. When we need medicine, she gives it to us in a treat (unless we won’t eat the treat). She has gotten up every hour or two in the middle of the night when we’re sick, and even when we’re just lonely and hungry and want a snack. We have a whole basketful of toys (and that’s just the ones she can find), and she tells us all the time how much she loves us and sometimes that we don’t know how lucky we are. But we do.
I nominate my mommy, Kelly because she is the best food lady ever! She lets me have whatever I want. Whipped cream is my favorite and if I cry and beg enough she always gives me some eventually. She also tries to match all her outfits to whatever I am wearing so that everyone knows she belongs to me. What a great mom! She takes me with her wherever she goes, I love road trips with Mommy!
I nominate my mommy because she has taken care of me no matter what. She has always been there for me. I was about to be sent waaaay too early to the rainbow bridge by the local vet because i cannot use my back legs, when I was a month old some kid decided to throw rocks at my back and they hurt me so I cant use my legs, so my mommy took me away from those bad people and has been there for me when I need my diaper changed at all times of the day and night, when I cannot groom in places she is there to make me all pretty, she is also there to scratch in my ear when i need to be scratched. She has given me a new life and stopped me from having to go to the rainbow bridge.

My cat Mom is the best. She rescued me from a cat breeder. I love her, and she loves me. She feeds me good, and takes really good care of me. Even when I am not on my best behavior. I am allowed to sleep with her, take a nap on her lap while watching t.v. I think she is the very best. She cleans my liier box every day, gives me a drink from the faucet when ever I want one. I am so lucky to have her, a lot of cats would like to live here,with me.
Love, Jinx
I hope my Mom wins. I would be very happy!!
Pharoah and his mommie “Da Queen” as always chillin’ and having fun, our past time fun is to watch animal planet and veg out on the couch when of course mommie isn’t working…in this picture mommie wanted to take some pictures while we were in her office, mommie needed a break so I decided to keep her company, wasn’t that sweet of me..(smile) I gotta say that my mommie is the best becuz she treats me like the little king I am, my sister and I are very spoil and very well love, I mean we have our own room with all our toys and treats. Mommie even brought us a toliet that actually flush, she says if u uses the toliet and is clean so should we. Yeah my mommie is the best I see why people call her “Da Queen”!! I’m glad I’m her little king and the Nefertiti is her little princess…(she is my sister, and she can be a little annoying…hey she’s the oldest)
WE HOPE OUR MOMMIE WINS…SHE’S THE BEST!!!
Although my momma’s really great, I want to put in a nomination for Simba’s mommy, Jen. The love and care she gave Simba throughout her life, even with her many illnesses, is a testament to what being a pet parent is all about. We all know what Simba went through, with the tests, the meds, the Needle Ladies, but through it all, Jen was right there for her baby. So, in my humble opinion, Jen is the “Best Cat Mom” there is.
I wanna nominate my mom … She knew that I was the cat for her even when I “belonged” to another fambly ‘cuz I used to sleep atop a metal bicycle shed beside her bedroom window efurry night. Her face was the last one that I saw at night ‘fore I went to sleep an’ the first one I saw in the morning. When the other fambly moved in the middle of the night leavin’ my brofur (Huckleberry Finn) an’ me behind, Mom didn’t wait five minutes ‘fore she scooped the two of us up, carried us into her house, an’ gave us baths. Now I don’t sleep outside Mom’s window … I sleep next to her head on the pillow. I’m hers an’ she’s mine … for keeps.
I want to nominate my mama too! I was at a breeders and not happy at all for lots of reasons. Then one day she showed up and took me out of there and I never had to go back! This will be my first Mother’s Day with a REAL mama, and I’m so, so happy.
She takes reeeeeeeeelly good care of Miles who is old and needs special care sometimes, and she brushes us even though we complain. She let Allie hold onto her foot when Allie felt sick. Then she raised money to help Muppet get her surgery this fall.
There are many many deserving mamas on Catster, like Phoebe said, but I wanted to add my paw print to the page since she is my very first mama! Thank you
*bows and gallops off*
My mama is so special because she takes the time to tell me the important things in life for when I grow up. She makes sure I get a bath and brush my teeth and sometimes I am not too nice like the time she was trying to give me medicine and one of my teeth went straight through her thumb, it looked liked a kitty war zone, I was soooo sorry that I hurt my mommy but she got better and I got my mommy through her depression when her mommy died. I made sure I had extra things I needed where she would get out of bed and not be so sad, when my mommy is sad then it makes me sadder for her. I help mommy do everything around the house and we are just the best buds ever!!! I love her a zillion trillion cillian buckets of pennies!!! This is why my mommy should win, she is some awesome awesome mama!!!!

I want to nominate my momma…when I was just a tiny kitten 8 weeks old, my momma and daddy came over to my birth house and was looking at my brothers and sisters trying to find a kitten to adopt. Momma was all set on adopting one of my brothers but I climbed onto her lap and looked her in the eyes. Momma would later say it was as if I was searching her soul for something. She decided right then and there that I was the one she wanted to adopt. I have lived with momma and daddy for well over 8 years and I do not regret one single day (well maybe the time I got a bath, but that’s another issue). My momma does everything possible to make sure my kitty sister Bay-Ling and I are well taken care of and happy. She plays with us, feeds us, takes us to the vet (yucky) and keeps us safe. I once escaped from the house and momma was in tears because she thought she would never see me again. Turns out I was two houses down visiting with one of the neighbors. I have a very good life and wish everyone else out there could say the same thing. I love my momma and momma loves me.
I want to nominate my mommy because she does everything in the world for me. When I was really sick with a URI a couple of years ago, my mommy was expecting another little person, but she sat with me in the bathroom everyday to make sure I ate, she cleaned my nose, she ran the shower on hot to help me breathe, she gave me medicine and some subQ fluids. Not only does she take really good care of my sister and I whenever we were sick, she also makes sure we have regular check ups, brushes our teeth, gives us healthy food and treats, we have lots of toys, a cat condo, a cat tunnel. And most of all we get tons of attention even though she also has to take care of the other little person in the house. Our mommy never forgot us even after the little person came. She even scoops our litter box everyday!! Our mom is the best always has the very best intentions for us. We are so glad that she rescued us! My sister was abused and now has some emotional issues that my mom helped her with. I, myself was left in a barn when it was close to winter time. I was left to fend for myself, but she came and got me and took me in and I have been happy ever since. MEOW!
I nominate my human mom. After seeing a man throw us out of a car window, she stopped and waded into a stream to pull my sister out. Although the mud was up to her knees, she reached my sister, who was almost drowning. My sister, who was very scared, jumped out of her arms and ran into the woods. My mom came back several times to look for us and saw me on the side of the road. I was cold, scared and crying. She came out and got me. That night I had plenty of food, a warm bed and a great family. Even though I miss my sister, I also have 2 step sisters, who were adopted from shelters.
Okay, this is impossible because there are soooooo many fantastic moms on Catster. We had our minds made up to nominate Scooter and Lola’s mom because we think she gave Scooter the bestest loving care a kitty could effur have wanted and she is doing the same thing with Lola.
But, we also had to agree with Arnold P. on his nomination of Calvin, Samoa, Violet, Sugar, Gleek, Spunky and Newman’s mom because she is a cat angel too…
The only thing we know fur sure is that it is NOT our mommy! She is not half as good to us as so many of you Catster moms are… hey, would anyone like to adopt us? MOL!
All I can say is GOOD LUCK SKEEZIX
CATZOWEY! That’sa Guido and our Gwamma on the adfurtisement for Skeezix’s meowvalous Mom’s Day contest! Woo hoo and way to go Gwamma! Weeza luvs our Gwamma and she shure looksa young fur her 82 yrs and no plasticat surgery either!

Happy Meowmy Day to every fantasticat gal on da planet!
My brother’s and sister’s and myself think our meowmy is purrfect fur the furst place winner. She adopted us six years ago and beclaws our real birth meowmy wasn’t careful about who she picked for our Further, we were born with inheirited illnesses. She has spent thousand’s of dollar’s on our care and still adopted three more moocher’s to join our furry family. Her furless kid’s live along ways away from our home, so she buy’s us everything we want. She goes to 3 different places to buy us our food, because we all like something different. We don’t get to go outside and she felt so sorry for us, so she had a carpenter come and enclose our big porch with screen on top for fresh air fur us and tempurred glass on the bottom so we can look outside at all the tree’s and see the bird’s in them. A couple day’s ago she bought a pond with a fountain in it and put it in our big sunny room and told us she wanted to make it as close to the real world fur us as she can. We love the sound of the water, and when she isn’t looking… we try and catch the gold fish she put in there for us! She even bought an aquarium fur us and put it on the kitchen counter so we can watch the fish there if we get tired of the ones in our room. She grow’s catnip for us, she even buy’s us Deli meat every week. We get lot’s of hugs and kisses. She cries every time we have to go to the Dr. I think she doesn’t think the Dr. will let us come home anymore, but i heard him tell her we can live three more years if we don’t get cancer or another serious illness. We are her whole life and we want to show her how much everything she does for us means so much. Thank-you for having this contest to show some lucky meowmy how much their furry kid’s love them and all they do for them. If you pick our meowmy, you won’t be dissappointed in her at all. Sincerely, Wilson, Tilly, Bitter, Brat, Elsie, Socks and Chucky Bagwell
Well it’s a fact that My Mummy is the very bestest cat Mummy there is, no doubt about it! Oh yes, she was the only person to take a chance on me when I was too scared of trusting people any more to come near them, let alone let them cuddle me or fuss my purrty furrs. She really was my one last chance at a happy life when she adopted me, ’cause you see I was so frightened I had started attacking people and even other cats at times…
So in November 2005 when I was just 2 1/2 years old, I took a long car trip from my old home in Kent to live here in Buckinghamshire with My Mummy, Dad and D’Boy. At first I was still scared of everything and everyone, so for the first few weeks of life here I mainly hid under the dinning room table. But every day even if I hissed and lashed out with my big sharp claws, My Mummy came and gave me tasty little treats. Soon I was letting Tigmut’hep come near me, but it was still weeks before the urge to scratch and hiss slowly started to subside and still the tasty little treats kept coming, as did My Mummy. By this time I was starting to realise that she loved me regardless of the hissing and claws. A little more time passed and soon I was poking my head out looking for treats when My Mummy came past me during the day. Then one evening she wasn’t feeling too good and was laying on the sofa warped up in a blanket and suddenly I had this over whelming urge to try and make her feel better, the way she had been making me feel for months by this time. So I came out of hiding and ventured forth from the dinning room, all across the lounge floor and over into the corner where My Mummy lay all curled up. Well this urge told me that all I needed to do was to get my courage up and jump into My Mummy’s lap to make her feel better, so that’s just what I did. I then lay there shaking with nerves as I lay my body and my heart in front of her in this one swift gesture. That’s then My Mummy showed me what my purrty furrs were put here for, they were to be fussed by warm little Mummy hands. So the shaking subsided into purring over the next little while and then My Mummy started to leak, which worried me greatly until she told me that she was now feeling much, much better.
From that day to this I have never failed to cuddle and fuss My Mummy every single day, I show her the “Ramifurcations” of loving me as she sports a fine sorrel fur coat all the time now!
So here I live with My Mummy, Daddy, D’Boy, my lovely half-sister Isis and my sweet little half-niece Setra, not forgetting my big grumpy buddy Tigmut’hep. My Mummy and Daddy set their alarm clock 30 mins early, so I get a full 1/2 hour of undivided attention and love first thing every morning, snuggled between them and showered in love, what’s even better is I get the same every night too! 
I guess even cats no one can handle can find their own little bit of heaven if they are as luck as me to find the right Mummy for them. I certainly have and that is why I know she is My Mummy!

I would like to nominate Orvis, Taz, Ko, Jacob, Boots, Flinders, and Susie’s owner, Pam.(id#589324) For over 20 plus years, she has taken in homeless cats and given them a wonderful home. She has volunteered at a shelter. She goes above and beyond with her love and care to her cats.She is a wonderful cat mom to her many cats. She shows love and support to other Catster members and shares her knowledge of cats.Her cats have lived long lives due to the wonderful care she has given them.Hats off to a fine lady!
Taser, Kato and Gulliver nominate our Mom (a.k.a Staff Person) for Mothers Day best cat Mom. She took us in when we needed a home (life on the streets is not fun, (so Gulliver tells me). Kato and I were lucky, we were not abandoned by our previous humans, Gully was. He tells me that he was cold, hungry and tired, and that I am lucky that I did not go through what he went through. Gully has a health problem (whatever that means). My mom has to clean his fur and skin when these funny things that he has on him breaks and leaks everywhere. It is gross! Mom never gets mad at him, she just cleans it and makes a fuss over him, that is when I get jealous and come over to break the lovefest! I mean hey?, what about me? I’m the baby!
Anyway, she is also very good at playing fetch! That’s my favorite thing to do! Well, for all the things that she does for us we think that she deserves to be Mothers day Best Cat Mom, and even if she does not win, in our minds she is the BEST EVER!
Taser, Kato and Gulliver
Meow everybody! My name is Pepper and I have the best mommy ever. She adopted me from my grandfather who was her next door neighbor who already had my brother, stepsister and stepbrother. I came to live with mom and my new sister, Lucy, who was very sick, and went to heaven shortly after. I really should win this contest because I took care of mom. She was very sad and cried for a long, long time. But she came out of it and has been taking care of me ever since. She spoils me rotten!!!! She calls me a “momma’s girl” and I guess I am. She got laid off from her job and I can stay with her all the time. I really hope she gets a new job, but I love having her close to me all day and night!

My sister Kalin passed away recently this year on 1/13/09, but before she crossed The Rainbow Bridge she had shared with me loving stories on why she thought our Mama was the best “Mama”. Kalin knew that she was a high maintenance cat that deserved to be spoiled, pampered, and cared for. She listed to me the many ways that our Mama showed how much she truly loved her little “Sunshine”. Kalin told me:
• Mama rescued me when I was 11 months old and was headed to the chopping block
• Mama told me that she loved me every single day that I belonged to her: 6544 times
• I snuggled on my Mama’s lap this many times (at least once a day after dinner): 6425 times (discounting her vacation days every year)
• Mama ensured that I would see a long and happy life on earth: 6874 days = 18.82 years
• Mama fed me this many cans of Fancy Feast every night around midnight when I meowed at her to feed me: 6425 times
• Mama emptied my litter box this many times when I pooped and peed every day: 12850 times
• Mama took me for annual medical examinations at the vet every year for at least this many times: 18 times
• Mama gave me flea juice ointment every month religiously until I crossed The Bridge: 218 times
• Mama paid for me to stay in deluxe accommodations at the vet for this many days while she was on vacation (7 days/yr): 119 times
• Mama forced steroid pills down my mouth every day after I got cancer until I crossed The Bridge: 676 times
• Mama forced chemotherapy (Lucoran) pills down my mouth every day (4 days every 3 weeks): 128 times
• Mama dealt with my cancer for this many days: 683 days
• Mama gave me insulin injection shots twice a day after I got diabetes: 5006 times
• Mama dealt with my diabetes for this many days: 2545 days
• Mama gave me this many enemas when I got stopped up in my old age: 5 times
• Mama changed my nightly diapers this many times when I couldn’t control my bladder: 2 times
• Mama gave me subcutaneous fluid injections (IVs) twice a week in the last year of my life: 104 times
• Mama made sure my teeth were checked and cleaned at the vet (at least once every 2 years): 9 times
• Mama paid this much money to the vet (for a cancerous intestinal tumor removal) on 3/2/07: $1,100
• Mama gave me a whole lobster on my 10th birthday: 1 time
• Mama performed kidney massage on me when I found it hard to go peepee by myself: 30 times
• Every time my folks went out to dinner each week, I was never let down when I begged for and received special treats: 2754 times
Kalin would have liked for me to relay her thanks to all the Mamas out there who have had the opportunity to know what it is like to care and love a cat through a long, happy, and sometimes challenging life.

My name is Tigger I nominate my mommy to be best mom because she’s the best..she treats me just like her child. When she goes out she makes sure I have plenty of food,water, and treats. She buys me toys,lets me watch tv or play or sleep or do anything I want too anytime I want to.I have been with her twelve years on May 9th and it is the best twelve years any kitty could ask for..she brushes me,clips my nails,when im sick she takes care of me. She plays with me and she even lets me sleep on her bed with her everynight.
Me-Wow Skeezie – you’ve got your work cut out for you – these are some purrty pawsome Cat Moms!!
You know as I read the posts it reminded me of what our Sweet Angel Scooter’s mom wrote in her diary when Scooter went to the bridge:
“Scooter was our special girl and she meant the world to us. Was she more important or special than your kitty, who means the world to you? No. Scooter just happened to have a lot of friends in this place called Catster, where we start out to show our love for our own cats and then, somewhere along the way, start to love others’ cats almost as if they were ours.”
I think it’s the same with these incredible Cat Moms – is anyone’s mom better or more special than some otherkitties? Not to us. She’s our mom and she’s number one to us. So to all of you Cat Moms I say thank you. Thank you for feeding, petting, adopting, rescuing and loving us. Thank you for caring for us and even yes, for taking us to the Vet. And thank you Skeezix’s Food Lady for this wonderpurr opportunity to hear about all of these special and good-hearted ladies we kitties call “Mom”. You make the world a better place each and every day.
Purrs,

my mommy is the best cuz she rescued me from a horrible foster home filled with cats who were mean to me.
She tells me I’m her baby girl and gives me kisses and lets me sit in her lap which is really nice cuz i weight 19 lbs. I sleep in the bed, well actually on the pillow and mommy will move her head so I can be comfortable.
She gives me my favorite food and once in a while some vanilla ice cream — shhh, I’m supposed to be on a diet! I always have fresh water, clean litter box and treats. She takes me to the vet (yuk) twice a year and I’ve lost 2 pounds.
When she goes away she makes sure our neighbor checks on me 2x a day. I luv my cat mommy. Miss Jezebel
I want to nominate my meowmy for one reason – I’M STILL ALIVE! I was diagnosed with CRF almost 5 years ago and within those years she has done everything possible to keep me happy and as healthy as a kitty can be with CRF and has NEVER given up on me. To make me happy she takes me for walks around the house so I can pee (I really like peeing outside now) and the occasional poop. She gets ups early to give me my meds and breakfast then she comes home from work at lunch and takes me for my pee walk and then brings me in for MORE meds and fluids and lunch, then comes home after work and give me even MOREEEEE meds and takes me AGAIN for my evening pee (sometimes 2 or 3 times depending on weather) and feeds me dinner then makes sure I have my evening water supply gives me attention – this all goes on while she takes care of Groucho (hes my OLD brother – and he gets some special attention and the occasional fluid and special vitamins and his nighttime treat of baby food) and she takes care of the girls making sure they get attention (she cleans Chickens weepy eyes and brushes Butters long fur) and all three meals too! She always says a prayer for me every night with my special cross on my chair. My mommy NEVER hesitates to take me to see DOC when necessary ( I see him at least 1x of not 2xs a month sometimes just for a look see at me – Doc loves ME!) My meowmy puts all of us before daddy and herself. And everything that I have just mentioned happens EVERY DAY (except for the doctor visits)
I thank god for my meowmy (and I know she feels the same way about us) cause without her I don’t think I would be here and even my old mommy (whom meowmy adopted me from) always writes me and her to thank her for the wonderful love and care I get – its nice that my old mommy still cares – cause I get EXTRA gifts! MEOW!
This is why my meowmy should be voted for BEST MOMMY
But EVERY MOMMY to all us kitties are GREAT MOMMYS and deserves the ULTIMATE AWARD – OUR LOVE!
Purrs to all – Charlie =^..^=
My name is Lucky and my mommy hand raised me and my 4 siblings when my fur mommy got sick and went to Heaven when I was 2 weeks old. My people mommy is my mommy. She taught me how to eat and use the litter box and when I didn’t know these things she hand fed me and the others and rubbed out tummies to make us potty and we did everywhere. I am the only one left now and soon will be 5 years old. My mommy calls me her baby girl and gives me lots of love all the time. I kind of rule around here because I blessed her and daddy and I love them back.
I am Bella. I nominate my mom and wrote her this
I love the way you make me purr
Run my brush through my fur
Bring me food and change my litter
Get me the best kitty sitter
I love when you scold kitty brother
Because I know you are my mother
I love you for my kitty treats
All the lovely fish and meat
I love you for my big lovely bed
Where I can sleep on Daddy’s head
I love you even when I’m having notions
You will always have my purred devotion
So please just let me say to you,
Happy mothers day-
From Bella, and sigh, Ruffy, too.
Hello. I’m Sir Lucifer Bleep. The oldest of 5 homeless kitties who have come to be my wonderful family. We owe it all to our mommy, Amber. She never says no to a purrbaby in need. She feeds us good food and treats and gives us cozy places to sleep. She treats each of us like individual children with cute nicknames and everything. We repay her in different ways. I give her back massages when she goes to bed at night. My sister, Aretha Franklin, leaves lizards on the doormat for her, Wolfie Mozart keeps the mice and rats away from the house, O.J. keeps her laughing and Jimbo Bean helps with the gardening. When she is stressed out, we make sure she’s comfortable and do everything we can to make her relax. This is why she loves us more than the drooling dog in the backyard and we love her back…with all our hearts.
I told Mam I wanted to nominate her for the bestest Mom in the whole wide world (because that what she is for me), but she said that we should nominate Teri, who is Mom to the Texas Wild Bunch. Teri and her husband share their love and home with a whole passel of kitties, and one in particular is getting love by the bushels because he is so sick. His name is Zack. When Zack has a bad night, Teri stays up with him. ‘N all the other kitties still get whole bunches of love ‘n treats ‘n food even though she has been up most of the night ‘n has had to go to work during the day. Now there’s a real mom for you! The Texas Wild Bunch – http://www.catster.com/cats/683020
Please give the prizes to my Mom! She resuced me from the shelter and took me in even though I only had 3 legs! She gave me so much tender loving care while my amputtation was healing. I know it’s because of her that I healed so well and now have a wonderful life with her, Dad and my sisters Gabby and Baby! She is a wonderful Mom! Every night I thank her by cuddling with her as she sits in her chair watching TV, but it would be nice if I could give her an extra special ‘Thank-You’ by giving her your prizes. I will keep all 3 of my paws crossed that you let her win!
Our Mom is the BEST! Salem is the oldest and he was a “flea market find”. Mom saw him in a cage (yuk!) and saved him. He gets what ever he wants! When Salem almost died 2 years ago because of a urinary tract infection, Mom took him to the emergency hospital in the middle of the night and saved him again. He fights with me sometimes and Mom always comes to my rescue.
I am a year younger than Salem and my nickname is Ms. Catatude! I get what I want and I get it now!
Mom will do everything she can to make sure we are happy and healthy.
Please vote for our Cat Mom!!! You will not find a better Mom anywhere!
Thanks and Purrs
Samantha
Our Mom is a Queen! She’s 82 but we don’t care! She found us at different stages of our lives when we were living on the streets and scrounging for food. She welcomed us with open arms, brushes us, takes us to the vet {who tells her that she is the bestest cat mom in the world}. We now have to argue to sit on her lap, but we all take turns. She feeds us yummy food, and sings songs to us. We all have a different song. Our newest family member is 15 and she makes him feel happy in his retirement. We love her so much! Please vote for her!
Meow, Meow and Much Love-
Smudgie, Lily, Kitty, and MamaKat
(to be sung to the tune of “I love Bosco” (wow! that’s showing someone’s age . . .)
I love my meowmie, she’s so good to me!
And she does her very best when she’s petting me.
I love meowmie, she takes good care of me.
If she won I know she’d give extra tuna to me!
Oh I love meowmie! My heart is bonded to her.
She sings me lovely silly songs
and then I start to purr!
Oh I love meowmie and meowmie loves me too.
I know that if she’s the one to win
then she will yell “whoohoo”!!
Love,
Meep
Mr D!!!! That is an awesome nomination! Beloved Amelia’s Meowmy is amazing!
She not only started the Paws 4 Peace, but does a great deal of kind acts, especially when kitties are sick or in need.
She has opened her heart and her home to lovely babies. And let’s face it, babies are a reflection of their upbringing!
HI my name is Sean Slemmer and I live in Williamstown, New Jersey. I would like to nominate my Mom in the Mother;s Day “Best Cat Mom” Award. She is the best Mom ever and she takes very good care of me. I always have fresh food, clean water to drink and a clean litter pan. I live here with my Mom, my Uncle Jess and my cousins, Barney, Bailey and Oscar, 3 male dogs. It took a while but we eventually became friends.Oscar and I chase each other up and down the stairs, till I get tired of it and smack him with my paw, he is so funny. Bye
I nominate my mommy because she is the best and will do anything for me. First of all she found me on the side of the road while there was a huge dog waiting to get me, so she pulled the car over and she called me and i ran straight to her, I was only about a month old. As soon as she wakes up in the morning she will pet me and feed me before she does anything. After that i watch her get ready for work and will walk her out the door, sometimes when i don;t want her to go I will try to grab her feet, so she can stay. When she gets home from work the first thing she does is come to me ( I am always waiting by the door as soon as i hear the garage open), Than she will let me outside (If its good weather outside) but she leaves the door open so i can run in and out of the house, she always makes sure I am in sight while outside so nothing bad happens to me, and if i am out of sight she will call mine name until she sees me again. Almost everytime she goes to the store she buys me a treat or a toy ( I have way to many toys, haha). Not only does she take care of me but she also takes care of 3 other cats outside that stay around the house, she feeds them every morning and also washes them and puts frontline on them ( even though she can’t afford it she will do anything to keep them alive and well, Its also getting harder for her to take care of them because she has to pay bill and put food on the table). She is just a very caring person. She helped one of my friend get bad to normal health, My friend started losing lot of hair around its neck and also had lots of scabs on its body, so she called the vet and ask what she can do about it, now my friend is perfectly normal and is very loving to my mommy too. I think she deserves it very much. If she doesn’t win is there anyway way or website that she can get coupons for cat food for my friends outside? She will really appreciate it. Thanks

Why would I think my Mom should win the Mommy’s Day Contest?
She saved my life. I went to her house and i was terrified. Three other people didn’t think I was worth keeping…I spent times in
those homes and was locked in rooms by myself, until I was so very scared. The lady took me in Mommie’s house and she
looked pretty nice, but, so did the other people and I thought,
“Here we go again…another person who will kick me out.”
I held onto her leg so tightly, scared of being alone. I know I wasn’t the most beautiful cat on the earth, but, I thought that
I have a heart full of love to give to someone special.
And although she didn’t think I understood what they said, the lady who brought me to Mom’s was talking with another lady,
and I heard her say, “This is the last try. if she doesn’t work for these people, we’ll just have to put her down.”
I know what that means. I learned that at the shelter. There were some cats that left out the back door, without someone to
love them, and we never saw them again….it was so sad.
So, I sat on her lap and purr-rayed like no cat had ever purr-rayed.
I held on and tried to look purrdy. it was extra hard because they had just ‘fixed’ me and my tummy was naked and I was as skinny as a silly old worm. I’d look at my Mom with my purrdy blue eyes and I know the love was shining through…and one day, when I looked, I realized hers were shining with love, too.
“She loves me,” I thought!
How beautiful life is now.
And I was able to help my Mom back for saving my life. She got breast cancer in 2002. I laid beside her every time she
had chemo and licked her arm for comfort. I wouldn’t leave her side for three days ’til she felt better. The only thing I would do,
is go do my duties and have a quick bite to eat. And back to the bedroom to my Mama. Then, last year when she had a double mastectomy from sarcoma cancer,
I was there for her again.
She’s my hero. She’s my love. She deserves more than I can ever give her…and that is why I hope my Mommie wins!

HI & MEOWZ!,
My name is Mouse and I would LOVE to nominate and SEE?, MY Mommy win The “Best Kat Mom” Award, because to ME?, she IS, THE Bestest Mommy, THE “BESTEST Kat-Mom”, IN the whole wide world!!..
You see, I don’t remember my “Fur-Mommy” at all, as some stranger came along and TOOK ME AWAY from her when I was a wee-tiny 6 week old kitten… One moment my “Fur-Mommy” was there & I was Happy?, and the next thing I knew?, she was GONE and I was UN-Happy & left ALL ALONE, all day, in a big, empty house that already HAD a “Teenage” kat, (or “Katten” as my Mommy calls them!), living there and “Ruling The Roost”, so to meow!!..
I was LEFT, all alone, scared & frightened and was constantly attacked BY the “Teenage” kitty… I knew nothing about BEING a kitten and wandered that empty house fur days, crying out FUR my “Fur-Mommy”, only to be left UN-meowed back TO!.. I was SO SMALL, SO YOUNG and SO FURRY FRIGHTENED & LONELY!!..
UNTIL the day that my “SOON TO BE”, “Furless-Mommy” just happened to “Pop in” fur a visit…
Long story short??,, I was immediately “attracted” TO HER, letting her hold, pet and SNUGGLE WITH ME!.. Soon, falling asleep in HER lap, doing something I’d never DONE BEFORE,, PURR & PURR!.. And contentedly too!.. To ME?, she felt like LOVE… To ME?, she TOO felt as if SHE needed “something or someone” ALSO!.. And before she left?, she told her friend, “Your kitten just meowed to me that she wants to COME HOME WITH ME”… Her friend?, simply said, “Take her, I can’t care fur her!”… And while “Hooman-Speak” was still UN-KNOWN to me?, I KNEW, I could FEEL what my NEW, “Furless-Mommy” to BE, WAS saying AND feeling… And I KNEW I was about to BE LOVED, CARED FUR AND?, WANTED!!…
My NEW “Mommy” tho, I soon found to be, is Disabled due to having “Health & Pain issues”, AND was recovering FROM Major Surgery, while living IN a Friends tiny, TINY ATTIC and all alone herself!!.. And fur the next two Winter months?, “Mommy” and I?, FELL IN LOVE & BONDED DEEPLY!.. We spent effury moment of effury day & night TOGETHER!.. She taught ME, how to BE a “kitten”, while I taught HER?, that I was “Special” and that I KNEW she was “ill”, and that I, was MEANT TO BE HERS?, so I could TAKE CARE OF HER!!..
I know it sounds meowy SILLY, (even SILLIER when Mommy SAYS IT, MOL),, but SOMEtime’s?, Mommy says she FEELS LIKE, SHE gave Birth to me, HEE-HEE
(She jokingly “meowz” herself, saying, “I went IN fur a Hysterectomy?, and HAD and came home WITH?, a KITTEN”!!.. MOL)
SOOooo, while she taught me HOW to use a litterbox?, I taught HER how to play “Fetch”… While SHE taught me certain “words”, (or “commands”),, which I QUICKLY learned!,, I taught HER the Importance of “Kat-Naps”, “Play-Time”, and most of all, “Snuggle/Cuddle Time”!!… And to this day?, effury “word” she taught me?, I REMEMBER and FOLLOW to a “T”… Mommy taught me “IN”, which means: “NO going OUTside!”… “NO”, which means: well??, NO!, MOL… She taught me my NAME of course, which I ALWAYS answer TO!.. She even taught me: “Get Down”, no explanation needed on THAT ONE!!.. HEE-HEE… And when Mommy “meowz”?, I LISTEN!!…
Now?, 8 WONDERPURR years later??,, I am Mommy’s “CareTaker Kitty”, and I KNOW, even BEFORE she does, WHEN Mommy is sick and/or, in pain and I will immediately MAKE her lay down and REST!.. I stay with her and LAY ON HER and will NOT let her up OR leave her side?, until I KNOW that she IS feeling better and/or, OUT of pain…
I comfort her when she’s “blue” or just “out of sorts” and I do effurything I CAN to make her smile and/or, laugh!!..
I know my Mommy?, BETTER than even SHE knows herself and I am ALWAYS either BY her side?, or ON HER!!..
I sleep curled up by her Heart effury night and cuddle with her each morning while she wakes up and has her med’s & coffee… I NEVER, EVER LEAVE Mommy’s side, so if ya wanna FIND Mommy?, just LOOK?, fur ME!!.. (And “Vice-Versa”, MOL)…
And Bestest of all?, Mommy knows ME?, BETTER than I know “Me”, MOL… So, IF I should feel “out of sorts” my meowyself, or am just STARTING to get sick?, SHE KNOWS and will immediately tend to ME, doing whatEVER it takes to SEE that I TOO, get and FEEL BETTER, never leaving MY SIDE
So you see, while I have NO memory OF my “Fur-Mommy” and MY Mommy doesn’t HAVE FUR?, she IS, MY MOMMY!!.. She found me when I NEEDED to be “found” and RESCUED me from a lost and LONELY life, GIVING me SO MUCH in so MANY WAYS, that there isn’t enough TIME OR SPACE to meow ABOUT my Mommy!!.. To ME?, she sorta DID “give birth to me”, MOL,, and to ME?,, she IS: LOVE & CARING, COMFORT & SUPPORT, my STRENGTH & HOPE when needed,, AND IS ALWAYS & FUREVER?, SPOILING, PAMPERING, SNUGGLING & LOVING ME!…
To me?, MY “FUR-LESS-MOMMY”?, IS LOVE!.. PURE & SIMPLE!!…
And that’s why I THINK that MY Mommy COULD and SHOULD BE, “THE World’s BESTEST Mommy, EVER”
The “World’s BESTEST Kat-Mom”, that there ever COULD BE AND IS!!…
I LOVE YOU MOMMY.
Huggz, Meowz & Purrrrz,
Mouse =^..^=
I would like to nominate my mom because she loves me and has always treated me and other furry animals just as she would human children if she had any. After our two dogs went away; we kept getting these stray dogs and trying them out but mom said they had to get along with me or we would not keep them. Plus, she let’s both my dog brother and myself sleep on the bed with her.
When she had surgery (a kidney transplant) two years ago, I heard she made dad take the video camera and get pictures of me so I made sure to talk into the camera. I remember she cried the day she took me to stay with her friends and we were apart for 5 weeks.
The best thing is at night when she kisses me good-night and says, “Good-Night Firepie, I love you Give me a kiss.” and I diligently lick her on the forehead.
I guess I’ll end by saying my mom should win just because she is my mom.

All of Mommy’s kitty’s were rescued. Angel Kitty Thing Two was a stray who was being attacked by feral cats. Mommy brought him inside to live. Spirit was sent from Heaven and was sitting on Mommy’s porch one morning after Angel TT crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Yum Yum and I were rescued from a high kill shelter. We both have feline herpes and Yum Yum was born without a tail. Mommy said that she just could not leave us there to die. Mommy and our vet worked long and hard to save us. We love Mommy so much for giving us such a loving home!
I would like to nominate our Momcat, she is always going out of her way to find kitties and cats that are sick or left out in the cold or in houses where nobody lives and takes them in and feeds them and gives them meds and gets them fixed and then finds them wonderful homes. She is always putting us first. She has even travel 2 hours just to save a cat before. There is no limit to her love fur us. She even had my paw prints inked onto her foot to show her love fur us! There maybe alot of us…but we are all love the same! We love our momcat so much and very thankful for her everyday!
We love you Momcat!!!!
This is a very large group nomination. I am Bandit. I have been asked to do this on behalf of all of us. About 9 yrs ago it was so frigid for several weeks that nothing was moving.No mice, birds or squirrels.This very wonderful a VERY special angel tipped over a trash bin and began putting dry food out for some very hungry kitties.Food appeared inside a hole of a garage of the empty house next to hers. This began our “moms’ love for us and ours for her as we came to be with her over the years.There have probably been over 30 plus that have come and gone.Some left to permanent homes(we hope), some died(cars, AIDS, Leukemia)She took care to bury some and creamate others. Money was not always there. Many of us are interrelated.Momma Tux had some and left them in her yard to slowly join us.Some just came from wherever and joined in.
Several of us were ESPECIALLY lucky. There’s Green Eyes. 9yrs old. A 9 month kit. Asked to come in. Got preggers. 3babies. all girls. All spoiled DIVAS. THey kept them all. ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’.Then came me. Eye infect. and breathing funny.She took me to vet.Enlarged heart and flu. Meds got me better and 1/4 of a pill every day keeps my heart good.She says I’m lucky for her. I got 7-7-6-5 toes. I always come when she calls. Then Tuxie. From one of Momma T’s first litters7 yrs ago. Vein in ear broke. Ear swelled. She lanced it 2x.No lucky. Vet had to sew it.It curlered up and he lost hearing in it. Other ear a month later almost as bad.He was moved inside. Then 4 months ago another who had been coming and going from here for 8 yrs finally decided to ‘retire’ from the out life and chose her. We think he could be my Daddy.We look and sound alike.
Then there are the rest. Money isn’t plentiful. Its tuff cause stores raise prices every month. But she still give the out guys(andgirls) a mix of wetand dry food. Like a stew. 2x aday plus pans of dry food and water.Even in winter storms.She rebuilt her backporch 4 yrs ago and did it better 2 yrs ago.Insulated. Shelves with boxes/w blankets and plastic over the hole in front. Toasty.Warm water on cold days. Cold on hot. she worked all day till last Oct. Laid off. Still cares for us. Built a feeder crate for the few who feel comfortable on the porch.3 bed/boxes there. ‘Dad’ go really sick last fall. She says he won’t be with us past summer. We’re luck he is still here now.She cares for him most time now too. Us insides watch him. Tux stays with him most time. We stay with her mostly.The outers come and stay closer so they can watch. She still feeds and cares for then too.We just lost one to leuk and 2 kit out of 4 to a new mom who have them a bit early and very stressed. Many us us came in the yard when she buried them. It hurts her so we do silly stuff to make her smile.
She feeds us. Talks to us all. Pets those of us who let her. if we h\get hurt she care for us best she can. Even when Grandpa Shadow swings andnails her hand, she still treated his infected eye till it healed.We all have been fixed except for 3. Habitat for Cats helped her.
our comment is long. There are very many of us still here. Bad rain, Blizzards, deep snow(she shovels a path for them) sunshine. She comes out. Calls for the out guys. Feeds us ins. Feeds the outs, THEN feeds herself and ‘Dad’. She opened slots in her chainlink fence so we can come and go.Thin slots. Dogs not allowed.Its safe. Flaps on the porch door lets us get on the porch anytime we want. We love her. We wish we could love her more and help her. We will be here for her when ‘Dad’ goes and return just some of all the love and caring she has given us and keeps giving us.
She wrote this for us last year on the outside of the porch door. It very true. Please help us ‘Honor’ and give something back to our ‘Catmom’, Debbie.
Thank you. From Bandit and at least 20 others too many to list.
“Take A ‘Paws’ From Life.
Food, Water, Beds, And Love,
Given Out Here. So so true.
MOMMY DEAREST
As a mom
She’s not so hot.
She says No! No!
To me a lot.
To ME! The King of
Mayhem! Then
She says No! No!
To me again!
Don’t climb that screen!
Don’t act so mean!
Don’t chew that plant!
Don’t eat that ant!
Don’t bat that earring
To the floor!
I’m telling you,
She’s such a bore!
But she loves me
That’s the thing
That I find worth
Remembering.
She even takes me
To her work!
(My fur’s all over
Her black skirt!)

Mum adopted us and gave us a home and lots of love even though we were old and sick (me and Freckles), had kittens in tow (Sassy & Xena) or were hissing at everyone at the shelter (Petra). I was 21 with CRF and had been at Best Friends for 10 years but I got my last 6 months in my own home as queen of the cats and being spoiled rotten. Mum already had 4 other cats but made time for all of us and made us feel special. When I was on mum’s lap she’d tell me that I was her favorite. She told that to the others too but we all knew that she meant it when she said it. Mum shows she loves us in lots of ways, she gives us the giblets when she cooks chicken, she sits with her feet stretched out on the sofa so 2 of us can sit on her at once, she built ramps when Strangelove couldn’t jump anymore. The best is that she thinks we are the prettiest cats in the world even when the mirror hints that we’re not!
What Do Mum’s Do?
When I first came home, I was much tinier than average.
When I dropped to 1 lb. Mum picked me up and kept me warm
in her bed for 2 weeks!
How Nice is She?
My mum plays mice with me.
When I lose one under the armoire,
she always has another!
My mum is as nice as mice.
When I Complain
I complain about going.
I complain about returning.
I complain about the medicine.
But I never complain about feeling good again.
My mummy knows how to make me feel good again.
Does My Mum Know How to Play?
I think play is the second most important thing in any smart cat’s day. We gotta know how to get new toys, so it’s important to lose ‘em, break ‘em, or chew ’em to bits!
– to get more of them.
My mummy BUDGETS for my toys.
And we play mice, feathers, stick, this or that every single day.
My mum is the GREATEST!
Now What is the Most Important Thing About My Mum?
She gets my food, of course!
When I want it raw, it’s raw.
When I want it canned, it’s canned.
When I want kibble, it’s kibble!
If I wanna change to beef and liver, or sliced, beef, or beef feast, or chicken liver,
I CAN!
Imagine having a mummy who gives you what you want ALWAYS!
I DO! I LOVE MY MUMMY SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!Hi I`m Goldie. I like to nominate my mom. She the best! She caters to
my every need. If I need petting, she stops what she’s doing and pets
me.
When I first came to live with her I was stressed out and the vet wanted
mom to put me on medication. Mom said no.
She brought me home and started to spend a lot of time with me, telling
me that all is going to be OK and that no one will get hurt.
She moved me out from under the bed where I was hiding when I first
came to live here. Now that wasn`t easy. She moved me to the living
room where I could see her, Dad and Callie Rose. I finally started to
relax some then one night I started to run around and Callie joined in
with me. Mom was so happy to see me having fun with Callie that she
cried.
Now i`m the Queen here. I demand petting. I play with Callie and sleep
with mom . I have grown all my hair back that I had pulled our due to
the stress I was going through.
My mom is perfect and I just love her to death.
Thanks Mom

Well, I can’t expect my Meowm to win against all of these awesome moms! But my Meowm is cool. She saved my life with my femur infection when I was a kitten and then again with my head tilt. She loved on me and made me stay strong. Oh, and then there is the fact that she helps us blog daily. Oh, and she entered me in our town’s pet pageant where I won tons of blue ribbons!! She did this even though the entire family called her Crazy Cat Lady. We took the stroller, and my harness, and there were LOTS of pokey sticky people. But I won tons of ribbons! I love you Meowmy!!
My mommy takes me out on walks with my harness and lease on. She spends lots of time with me outside, so I can eat grass and explore the great outdoors safely. After our walks we cuddle on the couch together. She is the BEST !!
My mommy should win because she is so good to me, she lets me sleep in her hair and slobber all over it. She always gives me clean litter box and something good to eat. she spends all of her extra time with me the baby of the family. And I always get something when she goes to the store. My mommy is the greatest.
when my mom found me I was a mess, I had ear mites, fleas and a boo boo eye. She already had 2 cats, 1 dog and a baby human but she took me in and fixed me up.
Now I have a great family who loves me, my eye still hasen’t healed but that’s what she loves about me. Even the dog loves me.
My name is Ashley and I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters all rescued by our wonderful Mom who has the biggest heart. She took in Molly when she was pregnant and she had 4 babies so there were 11 of us at one time but we had the best care. Two baby brothers got adopted to other family members. Our Mama and Papa built a house with a beautiful screened deck for us to watch the birdies. We get fresh air but can’t get hurt by being outside. We love our home and our parents. Our Vet told Mama he wanted to come back as a cat so she could take care of him the way she takes care of us. We love our Mom very much.
I nominate My mommy cause I was born right before the family went to an out of state vacation that included SeaWorld and SixFlags. Not only did she save my life (my real Mom Midnite didn’t want me after my sibling died and she was trying to hurt me. Luckily, mommy realized the signs and scooped me up. She never hesitated to take me to Target to get me a baby blankie to keep me warm(I still have that one to this day) until the pet store opened up to get my supplies. She was busy that day, but she never once took me out of her arms. She even bought me a special carrier. She packed my stuff up just like she did the kid’s stuff. We drove on a 16 hour trip. Mommy held me almost the whole time.I can’t tell you how many times she had to change clothes until I grew up but she says I’m worth it. We went to Seaworld, Sixflaggs and all kinds of places. She even snuck me in the carrier into the resteraunts or she just wouldn’t go eat until my aunt could relieve her from duty. She walked out of Seaworld and 6Flags parking lot every two hours, no matter how far in the park they were to check on me. It was very early March and a good time to be able to leave me in just a warm enough car but not too warm. It was perfect. Mommy sat with me before leaving me with all the windows how they’d be when she left me for the first few hours to make sure the temperature was right. She did all the normal things like wipe me with cotton balls, feed me my bottles but she took me EVERYWHERE! When we came back home, I even got to go to the kids school for parent teacher confrences! She is a mommy who was always concerned about me, never left me and made sure that I grew up happy, healthy, and loving. My first few pictures really makes me think of those lovely travel filled days. My Mommy’s the best because she has always been there for me since day one and shes still there today for me. She treats me like I’m royalty. I love her lots and lots. Mommy and I have been through a lot togther. You just can’t imagine it all.;) She’s the best and she’s never left me behind. I greet her at the door everyday and strech way up to give her kitty kisses first thing when she gets home!

We think our Mommy is the Greatest, she feeds us yummy food. she plays with us and taks us fur walks on our leeshes. She Brushes us and lets us knead on her belly. Boo Boo wakes her up early in the morning cause she wants to go on the sceen porch and watch the birds and Mommy dosn’t even yell at her. She treats us like we are her kids instead of Kitties. She gives us the best of everything and Loves us very much. She even had Daddy Buy a camper trailer so we can go kitty camping with them becouse Mommy dosn’t like to leave us alone for long periods of time (even though grandma lives with us to). She is alergic to us (whatever that means) But Daddy says she would never give us up dispite the fact. She just Loves us very much and we Love her very much also.
I don’t like calling my mum the food lady she so much more to me than that. I owe all of my nine lives to my mum. I started life as a shelter kitty and when I was eight weeks old she adopted me and I would’ve been put to sleep the next week if she hadn’t.
Not only did she adopted me but she loves me unconditionally and makes me feel special. She plays a lot of attention to me too. She always make sure I’m taken care of and keeps me out of harms way and trouble.
We’ve moved four times in my almost 11 years and home to me is where mum is. Mum always said she never move anywhere where she couldn’t have me and it nice to know this is my furever home as I get 100% unconditional love.
I nominate my meowmy because she rescued me from a shelter ,even though I bit meowmy !She still though I was the cutest little thing and brought me home right away !She always makes sure to give me kisses and pets every morning and night and we love to sleep together !Meowmy also gives me yummy food accasionaly such as wet food, and cheese bits !:) She calls me her princess and loves me verry much !!

Purrz & PurrChirpz!!,,
Meeeeeyowz & Hi!, My name, is “Itty-Bitty-Kitty”, OR, “I.B.K.”, fur short. (And fur short cutting meowmy’s typing time & efforts!!..)
I was ONCE CALLED: “Kitty-kitty-kitty-The-Flower-Bed-kitty”,, but THAT??,, is a whole nother “Tail”, HEE-HEE-HEE… (That was a play on “meowz”, if you will)…
ANYway’s, before I meow ANY further?, I’d like to meow that I, WELL,,,, I really think, I REALLY believe,, that MY MEOWMY?, deserves to be purrrrfully chosen as THE “Bestest Mom-kat EVER”!!.. (Or “Kat-Mom” whichEVER title you’d like to “Crown” her Meowy WITH!..) **GIGGLES**
You see, I am 20 months old now, (or a WEE over 1 year, MOL),, and I?, was DUMPED, simply THROWN AWAY, un-wanted and I GUESS?, UN-loved too…
But I STILL LOVED LIFE!.. And fortunately the time I WAS outside?, was warm and nice. Sunny days, birdies, squirrels and even CHIPMUNKS to watch EFFURYWHERE!!.. Fresh air, LOTZ & LOTZ of fresh meowy air and nice breezes!..
And the flowers, OH MY,, THE FLOWERS!!.. They smelled sweet and looked SO PURRTY. Planted in a circle, close near these hanging bird “attractors”… I don’t know WHAT they ARE, but the Birdies sure did! And they’d spend ALL day flying back and forth from the flowers to the hanging things, singing & eating and keeping ME?, FURRY ENTERTAINED!!…
All in all?, it was nice, but sometime’s it DID rain. Wet stuff falling from above and me?, SOON to be SOAKED!!.. And the NIGHT-TIME?, the “Dark Times”?.. THAT SCARED ME… THAT WAS WHEN I WAS SAD, LONELY & HURTING… Until the sun rose again, the bird’s sang their songs, and suddenly, one sunny day?, there she was!.. It was a “Female Hooman”!..
APPARENTLY she’d BEEN “around”… She’d appear and the hanging things would be full again. Or she’d make it “rain” on the flowers!.. HER flowers I soon realized!.. And OH!, How she LUV’d & tended to those Flowers!!..
Well, eventually?, I “introduced” my meowyself. When she’d “appear”?, I’D “APPEAR” at her feet, purring loudly and rubbing all over her, even meowing to GET her attention… Soon?, I HAD her attention and my WHOLE “Summer” went on like this. I even learned her “Schedule & Sounds” and she?, mine… I knew her “Voice” and she knew my “Meow” and I NEVER LEFT, “The Flower-Bed-Circle” ALL SUMMER!…
Even better?, was all the yummmmmmy food she’d feed me!.. No one ELSE fed me. No one ELSE gave me attention,, but SHE DID!.. Fur me?, I may have been “Dumped”, but I was still “Loved” and life seemed fine to me… Fine that is,, until it started to get CHILLY. The days got shorter, cooler, less birds & critters. Even the FLOWERS seemed to be DISappearing!!.. Until SUDDENLY, suddenly one day??,, it was DARKER than normal, chillier, and a LOT BREEZIER!!.. (I almost got blown away searching fur safety!!)…
Luckily, SAFETY FOUND ME!.. And I was SCOOPED UP and dashed inside by a “Man-Hooman”, then wrapped in a towel?, and SURPRISE!, I was handed to THE “FEMALE-HOOMAN”!!!!… OH HOW I PURRRED & PURRRRRED!!!!….
THAT?,, was 8 months ago!.. THAT?,, was the START of a NEW LIFE!.. THAT?,, was THE BEGINNING?, OF THE REST OF MY FURRY HAPPY?, MEOWY LIFE!!!!!….
I went from being UN-wanted, to WANTED. I went from being ALL ALONE, to having a FURAMILY, THREE FUR-SISFURS!.. My “Buddies” NOW!!… (Except Mouse, and THAT’S?, a whole nother story TOO!.. HEE-HEE **GIGGLES**)
I went from having NO “Purrarents”, NO “Meowmy” & NO “Daddy”, to suddenly having BOTH!.. A PAWSOME Daddy!, and well,, MY Meowmy!.. Who I THINK IS The WORLD’S BESTEST “Kat-Mom” MEOWY EVER!!…
Instead of sleeping in DIRT on the GROUND?, NOW I sleep IN BED, WITH MOMMY, ON a SATIN COVER and tight, TIGHT AGAINST HER TOO!!!!…
I have comfy kat-beds, a snazzy kat-tree to climb, sisfur’s to play WITH, and even window seats so I CAN STILL WATCH the birdies, squirrels & critters?, while in total COMFORT & SAFE INSIDE!!!..
INSIDE, surrounded by Furamily!.. My fur-sisfurs & Purrarents who ALL DEARLY LOVE ME & WANT ME!!.. INSIDE, surrounded by toyz & EFFURYWHERE TOO!.. INSIDE,, where there’s ALWAYS FOOD, ALWAYS fresh, cold water, (and from a FOUNTAIN TOO!!)… OH!, and these things?, called TREATS!.. Oh MeeeeYum how I luv them!!.. HEE-HEE
INSIDE?, where,, WELL GEE!,, I could go on & on & on & ON!.. MOL… (If ya’d REALLY like to “FEEL” my “Story”??,, you CAN check out this thing Meowmy calls “My Diary”… I don’t know what it IS?.. But I DO KNOW that when I meow??,, Meowmy?, TYPES!.. (Really weird,, huh???)… “Hoomans”!,, I STILL can’t figure them OUT, and I know that SOME, like the one’s that “Dumped” me?, AREN’T so meowy nice… But the one’s like, well,, MY MEOWMY!!.. OH!, THEY,, SHE MORE than makes up for whatever pain and sadness I once knew, that is NOW GONE,, QUITE FORGOTTEN??,, THANKS TO HER!!…
MY Meowmy IS The BESTEST, (to ME ANYWAYS!),, because she LOVES ME!.. She not only loves me?, MEOWMY IS LOVE!!… MeeeeeeeeeeeeeWoW!! =^..^=
(Being WANTED?, sure does BEAT being UN-wanted!!…)
OOH!.. OOH!!… AND??,, MY Meowmy loves me, LOVES US, SO MUCH??, that she already HAS a LOVING FUREVER HOME with her FRIEND, FUR US, should ANYTHING, (**shudders**, ahem,, bad), EVER happen to her & daddy!!.. So SHE KNOWS and WE KNOW that no matter what? We’ll ALWAYS BE, LOVED… We’ll ALWAYS HAVE?, A FUREVER HOME!!!!….
LOVE YA MEOWMY, OH MEOWYYES I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I.B.K.”
Our Mom Hands Down should be given this Honor. Because she has saved us more than once from being homeless. A couple of us were born in her home but 3 of us were saved from the streets. Even when she Lost her Home that she lived in for over 20 years and lost everything, she still moved us across the country with her and is still trying hard to keep a roof over our heads and food in our tummys. She started a Group over 6 years ago to Honor one of our past Furrrfamily members to keep her memory alive because she loved her so much, just like she does us.She thought she was going to have to shut the Group down because of loosing everyting, but a kind friend came in and saved the day. She has volintered at a Catery in a animal shelter several times and has helped others who have lost their kitties with their greeving because she has been through it her self. She is always trying to help others and never ask for anything in return. Her Group has been free all these years and she has always taken care of the cost to keep it going. She takes such good care of us and we love her so much. We would just like to see something special happen for her for a change. We LOVE YOU MOM!! PUURRRSSSS!!

Our Meowma is the best becuz she loves us more than anything! This week I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and Meowma was right by my side the whole time. She came to visit and made the animal doctors a little miffed by calling so much to see how I was. She gives me my medicine and is sweet to me by giving me treats to eat when I won’t eat anything else. When I misses the litterbox she just tells me that is okay and washes my blankies and makes me feel extra good by putting them in the dryer right before I sit on them. I like to feel warm! She checks my legs for bloodclots every few hours and makes me carnivore care like I like it! Most of all she sits with me for hours on end and tells me how much she loves me. This might be our last mother’s day, or so they say, but who knows? I’m gonna keep fighting to be with her and Meowpa. When it’s time to go to the Bridge she and Meowpa will be there to send me to meet Chloe and Yang and I know they’ll let me go when I show them that’s what I need. Until then, I’m gonna love them with all my heart and I know they’ll love me, too. They never tell you how much you’ll love your people and even though I didn’t find my furever home until I was age 7 I know I got the bestest in the whole world! P.S. Meowma even bought me a heartbeat machine for in the hospital so I could hear her heartbeat even when I’m not sleeping on her chest. Life is good!

This is one way I can say Thankyou Mum…Chirps ( I never learned how to Purr but I did chirp ) Angel Edward
Would you like to know what makes my meow-my the best meow-my there is? Well, she always loves me, kisses me, and even let’s me sleep on her head at dark-time. She loves me so much she keeps me inside all the time, so that I will live longer! She also got me neutered, so that I would not spray and get punished. Megan, my meow-my, got ten ‘money’ from her aunt and instead of spending it on her, she got me toys, treats, and a tie! She has spent over 3,000 ‘money’ on me so far, and I am only 8 months old! I feel so a-paw-reciated. Thank you SOOOO meow-uch, meow-my Megan.
I looooooove you,
Jayfeather
The picture below is of my meowmy and I. My meowmy rules because most impawtantly she adopted me from a shelter. Also meowmy gave me my own bedroom decorated especially how us cats like it, my own stroller, a Hello Kitty Tent, plenty of scratching toys, and most of all lots of love and attention.

My mom always takes care of me when I get rocks and crystals in my bladder and urethra. She takes me to cat hospital and sits outside my cage all day everyday. I know she’ll always take care of me. And hey, she feeds me three times a day with special food that includes anchovi oil!
My mom/food lady is the best! She knows I march to my own drummer and always indulges me. I snuggle with her every night. And hey, she feeds me special food with anchovie oil three times a day!
Purrrrfect:-)
I never knew that I was missing a mom until someone left me alone and cold in a field in Indianapolis during a car show. Then this really nice lady took me home and fed me and held me and made the cold go away. I was only 3 months old, but I knew that this lady was not just a lady, but a mom. Unlike other kitties, I live in a hot rod shop, daddy builds kool old cars that I get to sleep in and mommy does all the artsy stuff, I love to help her paint and letter! I have a nice warm bed with my own heated blanket and I also have a bed upstairs in the attic that is covered in angle hair! She brushes me, trims my toenails and makes sure that I am healthy and happy. On my first birthday she threw a party at the shop for me and I got lots of kool new toys and Greenies and all the people got some of her homemade birthday cake! I can’t believe how lucky I am my mom is the best ever!! I love her SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!
As you can see my Mom was pushing her furrst cat in a stroller WAY BEFORE it was trendy! Maybe she started the trend!
My Mom calls me her Cutie Girl and it’s true! She got me to keep Zoe company. After Zoe became an Angel, I was soooo lonely. So Mom got Jasper and Jillian. Yes, THE Jasper! Now Mom shows me she loves me by letting me out on the balcony to get away from him! MOL
All I know is that Mom saved my life and now I’m a worldwide celebrity!
I’m LOUD, I’m ORANGE and I’m a MAMMA’S BOY!!! OK, sure I’ve caused Mom to wonder, more than a few times, why she even has a cat … but I make her feel alive! Who else could get her heart racing like I do? I’m not sure how I’m gonna top my jumping off the balcony but we’re both sure I will!
What? I’m supposed to be writing about Mom? But I’m Jasper and efurryone knows “It’s ALL about ME!”
Just so you know Mom was prepared at an early age to handle “surprises”, here’s proof…
My mom is the best food lady/mom ever. She understands and accepts me, my brother and sister. She had my sister flown to Washington state where we live from Virginia when dad found her starving on the streets. She took my brother in with health problems when he was about to be returned to a shelter where his previous family got him from and helped him get better. With me she was able to open her heart again and love after shortly loosing a brother I had never met. She accepts my personality and fact that I am a attack cat and have a lot of energy to burn. Most would not put up with being stalked, pounced on and used for attack practice. But mom knows it is all in good fun. She makes sure that all three of us have the best food for us and the best care. Oh and we love the endless treats. Our MOM is the BEST!!!!
I love my Mom for her Mother’s heart. After Zoe became an Angel, she set aside her own broken heart and knew she had to get Jobél a companion ASAP. So in time, she saw my precious son Jasper and decided he was the one!
Thank you Mom for praying so hard that I would also be adopted. Thanks for thinking about me constantly as the days and weeks went by. Thanks for emailing that fateful day that was gonna be my last. Thanks for saying “NO!” to what they had planned to do to me and “YES!” to adopting me, too!
I know I’m the extra cat but Mom tells me I’m “extra special” cuz until I came along, she never even knew her heart needed stretching!
Mom told me her furrst cat came into her life the same way. Her Nanny didn’t live to see the kittens arrive but her Mom said “Yes” to Nanny’s promise of a kitten.
I would like to nominate my human because she has always been there for me. When my mommy’s human suspected that she was pregnant with me and my litter mates, they dumped off in an unfamiliar town. She wondered around, desperate for food, until she stumbled upon a human’s house who had many cats. The house was in a fairly quiet town, it was summer and the back door had been left open for the owner’s cats to come and go as they please. My mom (Later named Shadow by one of the young humans) strolled into the house and found plenty of food and fresh water. When it was discovered that she was not one of their cats, she was adopted into the household. They named her Shadow (because she was a mystery cat) and when it became apparent that she was pregnant, they took good care of her and her offspring too. Unfortunately one of the kittens was born very sick and although my human took all of us to the vet, my one littermate went over the rainbow bridge. We were all welcomed into the household.
In 2002 my humans’ house caught fire. All of the cats miraculously managed to escape. My human’s family had to move temporarily to a hotel while looking for a new place to live (the house was totally destroyed in the fire and uninhabitable). The animal control officer, a sweet neighbor lady and my human ( when she was not at work) were looking for all of us in order to find homes for us. One day after work, my human stopped and noticed that I was living under what remained of the front porch. She managed to get a hold of me (even though I was scared and bit and scratched her) and placed me lovingly in a cat carrier. By this time mu human and her family had found an apartment to rent not far from the house. my whiskers had been singed almost completely off, and only a couple of inches remained. Miraculously, that was the extent of my injuries. My human gave me a nice warm bath and food and water. My whiskers have grown back, and now seven years later I still live with my human and her family and two other cats (a brother and sister act) from the original cats.
I think my human deserves a prize for mother’s day because she is a great human and one of her aspirations in life is to someday be the town’s crazy old cat lady somewhat like the one on The Simpsons.
Thank you, for considering my human!!!
Respectfully Yours,
Te’a (The axis that the world truly revolves on)
A SALUTE TO ALL THE GREAT CAT MOMS.
When I first saw this contest, I wanted to nominate my Momma for all the love and care she gave me over the years, especially after I was diagnosed with cancer. I knew our entry would definitely have pathos if I recounted all the sacrifices Momma made for me whether it was living off of cereal, pasta, and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches at times so she could pay for my vet bills, or driving home on her lunch hour everyday, 20 minutes each way, just to give me my medicine. She made the biggest sacrifice of all when I got too sick to fight any longer – she told me how much I was loved and held me close to her heart while the vet gave me a peaceful crossing.
I could also add something original to my entry by describing how Momma came to rescue Jack from a shelter (either a series of coincidences or the work of angels – you can read Jack’s early diary entries and decide for yourself). As for humor, well, Jack’s very first night home he piddled smack dab in the middle of Momma’s bed – while Momma was sleeping in it! *giggles* He was such a little terror those first few weeks, and some humans might have sent him right back to the shelter, but Momma would never do that to one of her furkids. Momma loves us all and accepts us for who we are — a mother’s love is unconditional.
That got me to thinking about what makes a great Cat Mom. Morgan the Pirate Gato has a great Cat Mom. She helps rescue both cats and dogs and she makes and sells pawsome beds to help pay for Morgan’s medical expenses. Christopher has a great Cat Mom who took him in even though he is blind. She also takes in older cats or cats who have terminal illness. She makes sure their last days are spent knowing what it is to be loved.
Aldo & Tess and their doggie sister Noelle were loved by their mother Laurel until the day she died – almost one year ago now. When these three were orphaned, wonderful Cat Moms and Dog Moms (and probably a few Dads) from around the world came to their rescue. Some Cat Moms donated money, some gave their time to help in the search and rescue, some were foster Moms, and so many more prayed for Laurel’s family. Noelle was adopted by Simon’s Meowmy and Aldo was adopted by O’Malley’s Meowmy. Tess’ fate is still uncertain, but we hope that wherever she is, she is safe and loved.
Of course, the rescue of Aldo and Noelle was coordinated by the beautiful Hazel Lucy and her Mom. Their caring is endless. They would give the shirt off their back – or the hat off their head – to help someone in need. They maintain The Get Well Purr List and make trankie blankies to donate to shelter kitties. With their kind and generous spirits, Hazel Lucy and her Mom remind us that “mother” isn’t just a noun; it’s also a verb.
So who is the Best Cat Mom? My Momma, and your Meowmy, and her Mom, and his Mummy, and all of the Cat Moms out there giving their furkids unconditional love. Happy Mother’s Day.
I would like to nominate my momma. She took me in when I was just about 3 months old. She hadn’t had a cat before, so I had to teach her a few things. She took care of me all by herself for about 5 years when she gave me a daddy and two fur brothers. I liked being an only cat, but once I had brothers I realized that it was really nice to have someone to play with and snuggle with. Even though, I still have that time with Momma.
Since then, momma & daddy have taken care of all of us, took care of my brother Sparky when he was sick and then eventually gave me a new little brother & sister.
She also rescued a kitty from the streets, turns out my sister Sweetie was FeLV positive. I never got to meet her, but I know momma & daddy did what they could for her.
They also took in a couple cats for a furiend while their momma had to find a new home because of a fire.
Recently momma & daddy also participated in the transport of a kitty to her furever home.
Mostly, my momma has always taken such good care of me and my whole family. Just like she’s taking care of me here when I had Vestibular Disease. She’s the best!
These are great stories of the meowmy’s and it’s making me feel jealous, I wish my meowmy could do all those things .Also we have loved seeing the old photos, Maybe we should have another scroll for Meowmy’s and daddy’s with their first kitty?
I (Raza) would like to nominate someone and it’s not my meowmy.

Catster cat #321483’s meowmy
I just wanted to say thanks on this meowmy day for everything you do for all the furs on Catster.
Hi, My name is Sammie and I nominate my “mom” for the “Best Cat Mom” Award. My mom is 91 years old. Several years ago she decided that she wanted a cat to keep her company. Instead of adopting a cute little kitten, she decided to adopt a mature cat that needed a home. I’m handsome, but I’m a large, overweight, mature cat. And I have a reputation for being temperamental and hard to get along with; so I hate to think about what would have happened to me if my mom hadn’t adopted me. When my mom first adopted me some of the people that worked where she lives were afraid of me and my mom’s great grandchildren thought I was mean. I’m ashamed to admit this because I really like my mom a lot, but one time I bit my mom and she had to go to the emergency room because her hand swelled up. They even had to cut her wedding and engagement rings off her finger, but my mom still loves me. My mom has been very kind and patient with me and we have grown very close. I’m a little friendlier and better behaved around visitors now than I used to be. I love my mom and I know that only a person with a big heart would have chosen to keep me. My mom deserves to win for puting up with me and I think that my mom would look cute in a pink Skeezix the Cat Cap or a Catster T-shirt. One of my mom’s daughters helped me type this.
Wow, I am overwhelmed by all the super-wonderful moms on here! You are all so lucky to have them!
Let me tell you why I love my mom. I can’t write cool poetry or really profound stuff, but I still think my mom is the greatest. I was living on the streets of a trailer park near where mom and dad lived, and mom started putting out food for me and the other kitties. After a while she let me and my friend come in the house sometimes. Before long we were sleeping in the house at night, and coming in whenever we wanted. Mom and dad had to move to a new place, and couldn’t leave Pixel and me behind so she took us to her work place and had us “fixed,” and we went to the new home. Since then she has put up with my anxiety and spraying in the house (I take medicine for it and I’m much better, and every morning she puts pheremone spray around the house to make me feel okay), and when I got diabetes she didn’t give up on me. She checks my blood herself with a poky stick in the ear and a meter (I hate it, but it always gets me some good food) and gives me shots when I needed them. I’ve been diabetic for a year and a half now. She gives me whatever I want to eat as long as it’s on my diabetic diet (lots of chicken–yum!) and even lets me lick the grill if there was chicken on it. Oh! I almost forgot, mom got a stroller so I can see the neighborhood safely, since I was used to roaming and hate to be indoors all the time. She and dad made their own cat fencing in the backyard so my brothers and I could go out there and still be safe.
Face it, my mom is a crazy cat lady and I wouldn’t trade her for anyone!
I nominate my mom ’cause…
she is the coolest Mom in the whole wide world! Ever since she has to stay at home…she has donated all of her waking hours to making me happy. Yeah…all for me! I get to do the coolest things that lots of cats can’t do. She let me have a party here in Whine Country and she also let me take my friends to Paris
and just last week, she let me host a Kentucky Derby party. On Cinco de Mayo, I was a very bad boy. Me and Morty got drunk with some dogs at Anna’s Cantina and I got a “Mom” tattoo on my butt for Mother’s day! Then in the morning when I was on the front page of the local newspaper, she didn’t even punish me. She was gonna make me go to “Fur Club For Cats and get fur plugs to fill it in…but now I think she likes it! See…she’s the best mom ever.

From W&C’s mom…………
I highjacked the computer from the furbies and this time I am posting. I saw the contest about the best mom and I have seen all the posts about why kitties love their mom’s, but I have to share my spin on what mother’s day is really about for me.
For me mother’s day is about remembering how blessed I am to have Winnie and Chester in my life. Being their “mom” is an honor and a pleasure, and something I too often take for granted, Mother’s day is that great reminder that without our “children” we would have no reason for this day.
When W&C came into my life my heart was broken, I had put my precious Taz to sleep just a month before. I thought my heart would never love again. Then I found these two fuzzy faces waiting for me at a local shelter. I had no clue what they would add to my life
Winnie…she is my heart. A sweet, loving, wise cat. She is patient but no one walks on her, she is affectionate and loyal and would love nothing more than for me to lay in bed and pet her the rest of our lives. She lives for nothing more than love.
Chester…he is my soul. Funny, comical and sweet. He is not the brightest crayon in the box and yet at the same time he seems so amused by the world. He is as unique as they come…he squeaks like a baby bird, he walks a little funny and whistles when he purrs, but I wouldn’t change one thing about him. He makes me laugh and smile and makes my heart sing. His anticts keep Winnie young and age her at the same time.
I still miss Taz, she was my best friend through a horrible time in my life. She was my soulmate, always there when I needed her. She just knew what was going on somehow. But W&C have found pieces of my heart that I had never touched with Taz.
What makes a great mom? Having great “kids”. I am honored on Mother’s day and ever other day that these furry babies are in my life, that they found me and put up with my crazy work life and still love me!!!!!
Love
W&C’s mom
