Purrfect Gift

If you’re looking for the perfect gift to give someone special in your life, you may want to follow these leads.

Mike Knap of Virginia was the creative genius behind CATKNAP. He was inspired by his wife Selwyn’s love of cats and her penchant for sharing a catnap with their black cat, Brunswick.

Arlene Domkowski of Connecticut said her husband surprised her one Christmas with MEOWMY. At the time, she was mother to nine cats, including some former strays. Ever since the license plate arrived, she’s been blessed with even more cats, so she’s convinced cats can read!

Several years ago, in honor of their four cats, Vivian Lichtman of Pennsylvania surprised her husband with vanity license plates that read 4 PURRS. He then surprised her on her birthday with a license plate that read 4 MEOWS.

For her 30th birthday, Katrina Matthews of Pennsylvania gave herself plates that read MEOW-1. At the time, she had one cat companion, a restriction imposed by the apartment complex where she lived. Seven years and three cats later, Katrina says everyone around town still recognizes her by her license plate.

Musician Maryann Aguilar of Ohio said she wanted a vanity license plate to reflect both her avocation and vocation. She scored with MEWZIC.

Doris Gold from North Dakota also has a license plate that reads MEWSIC. She is a pianist and teacher who loves cats, especially her Burmese and Singapura.

After 10 years of caring for people as a registered nurse, Jean Shelby began caring for cats at a cat-only veterinary practice. She also cares for 17 cats at her home in Tennessee. What could be more appropriate for her than a license plate that reads MEOW RN?

Lynda Foro of Arizona said PET SIT on her license plate tells cat lovers in the Phoenix-area that she provides in-home overnight pet-sitting.

Carol Sawyer of Maine said KATAREE has double meaning. She operates a cattery, and owns Katrina, a 6-year-old Himalayan who survived a respiratory problem as a kitten.
