Dearest Gilligan, what an adorable tabby-and-white fellow you are! Your fur is so pretty and looks so soft to touch, and what a sweet face you have, with the white whiskers and that cute little two-tone nosie and those lovely yellow eyes so full of love.. and then there's your Santa hat! I wish I could reach through the screen to Sterling Heights.. not all that far away.. and pet you! Oh well, since I can't, I know your loving and beloved family members, especially your young friend there, will pet you loads for me .
And what a fine caretaker you have been of your dear friend there, who has known you all her life! What a precious bond you and she share, and what remarkable ways you each show your love for the other, the love that comes through so clearly in the first photo. She has already learned and always will know how special cats are and how to treat you and all cats with gentleness and love. You follow her around and lay down next to her and nuzzle heads together. You and all your family members love each other very much, don't you! What a delightful love-filled home you share.
Congratulations, darling Gilligan, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your special young friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite 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.
