Dearest Chester, what a handsome, sweet, beloved and loving kitty you are.. and even though you are now an Angel after a long life of 20 years, you are just as handsome and sweet and beloved! You are a fine-looking brown tabby with such soft-looking fur and such a sweet face with lovely green-brown eyes and long white whiskers. I wish I could reach all the way up to the Bridge to pet you... but I know all the Angels are petting you loads for me .
And what a wonderful long life you spent with your loving and beloved human family and your loving and beloved companion doggie ReRun! Your humans adopted you both together when you were just 8 weeks of age. You played together until it was ReRun's time to go to the Bridge, and then you were the only non-human until the hamster and then doggies Trixie and Sadie joined the family. You and they and your humans enjoyed many years together, and then it was your turn to go to the Bridge, where we know ReRun greeted you joyously. What a beautiful. touching tribute your loving and beloved Purrrson has written about you, and what a wonderful love-filled home you all shared!
Congratulations, darling Chester Loudpurr Angel, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We know your humans and the hamster and Trixie and Sadie and ReRun Angel and all the Angels are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite Angelic games and treats.
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
