After an unfortunate false start in this month's poll, Alfred surged ahead almost from the beginning. Each cat in the poll had his or her own special charm, and I know it was a difficult choice for me as it was for those who voted. In the final count, with 488 votes in at the time of this posting, Alfred won with 218 votes - a whopping 44%.

Congratulations to Alfred and thanks to Susan Worthington for sharing his photo and remarkable story.
