Arrival Story: One look into those eyes, and we were goners. We brought this little angel into our home, to be our 32nd inside cat!
He was rescued by a shelter we support, and he desperately needed a home with love. One thing we never run out of in this home, is LOVE. Thank you for welcoming this little guy to Catster!
Bio: Our little gray guy is a bouncing boy, full of kittenhood joy! He is very affectionate. After only a short quarantine period, he began to play and chase with the grown cats. He especially likes the youngest, Larke, and she is enjoying a playmate closer to her own size. Riley liked and licked him from day one! Pete had his usual hissy fit for a couple days, but quickly realized his own love was not in jeopardy, and made friends too. Sophie seemed to be looking out for him, in a motherly way. He is so tiny, running around! We haven't had a baby this little in a while.
We had some health concerns because his abdomen was very bloated, and stayed bloated. He was checked for parasites, and given medicine. When his tummy still stayed huge, we had a sonogram done, which revealed no masses, tumors, or fluid build-up. He does have one slightly underdeveloped kidney, which we will keep an eye on. This little guy only weighed 1.8 pounds, even after two days of feedings.
His eyes are a beautiful shade of green/blue, but may change as he ages.
UPDATE: Dalton's eyes became a lovely shade of light green. He remains a tiny boy, but he is still so full of energy. He loves to play, and will make a game out of anything...a plastic spoon, a bottle cap. No need for expensive toys with this little guy. At night he often climbs between us to "say goodnight", before choosing a permanent spot. We have really grown to love this babe more and more. Since we lost Zack, we have caught ourselves glancing at him, and thinking it was Zack, just for a fleeting moment. Those would be big paws to fill, but if any cat can do it, Dalton can! Thank you for reading his story.
P.S. There are lots of cute kitten pictures in his Photobook!

CAT OF THE DAY~September 14th, 2009
Meows everyone!
I'm sorry it is so late, almost 11pm, mom just got home from out of town, and looked at my page! It's BEAUTIFUL!!!
I had an amazing day, and I can't wait to write all about it, but if it's okay, I am going to do that tomorrow, and thank everyone tomorrow too.
Mom says she is super-duper-poopered tonight.
Just one last thanks to the Catster Team, for my honor, and lots of purrz to my friends, both old and new! I'm not sure I will be able to sleep tonight! BIG PURRZ!
I have to come back later to say thank you to everycat for all the great notes and gifts because mom has to go to work out of town today, but she says she will be smiling every mile! She is very proud of me. :)
Thank you, HQ, for your pawsome honor. I will puff my chest out, and be a very happy CAT OF THE DAY!!! I still can't believe it's happening! I wish Zack was here to see this. He would be so proud too.
It's after midnight here, so I am officially one year old! YAY!
I want to thank my Uncle Wally. for making my birthday picture and my wallpaper! I love it, I really do.
And thank you daddy, for helping mom figure out how to turn the text white so we could read it!
Also, thanks to lovely Icebox for publishing those cool font codes. My mom is a little bit less computer illiterate now! :)
I have BIG plans for my first birthday! The first thing I am going to do in the morning is play with the Da Bird! Then a Fancy Feast breakfast in bed...well maybe not in bed.
Next, a nap on the tile of the shower. That's the coolest place in the house. It got to 100 degrees today, and is supposed to be the same tomorrow. We all can't wait for Fall to get here.
When daddy and mom get home from work, daddy promised to get out the laser light. I could chase that red dot all day!
I have already gotten some birthday greetings!
My Angel twin, Edward. sent a cone. Thanks for the ice cream, my friend! Alfie, Teddy Bearz, and Wally sent a birthday hat and ice cream too! I will eat the hat and wear the cone! :) Thank you!
My other three brother friends, Mr.Fez, Mickey, and Linus sent a yummy cupcake! Mmmmm! Purrrrz.
My Catster big brother, Mathis der Meowler, and his family, Belle, Antoine, Entrechat Cat, Clara, Figaro, and Dusty sent me the Earth rosette and the nicest note.
Thanks to all who have made my first birthday so nice already!
I hope I will get to party with some of my other friends too, later today.
I guess I better get to sleep, or the Birthday Santa might not leave my presents!
