Beautiful Kiki!
Dearest Kiki, what a beautiful Tuxedo kitty you are! Your black and white fur is gorgeous and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with that cute pink nose and those lovely big green eyes. You are absolutely striking in front of all those orange flowers (and who are your little friends in the background?). I wish I could reach through the screen and up to St. Charles to pet you, and pet your little calico friend, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me .
And what a story you have to tell! You were a stray cat hanging around near your dear Purrrson-to-be's house. It was the dead of winter, and you looked hungry, so he/she started leaving food out for you. She/he thought you and a more friendly calico cat were living under the porch and keeping each other warm. At first you stayed away from your Purrrson, but as time went on you started to allow him/her to pet you. And then after more time passed, you finally allowed her to pick you up and put you in a carrier! Off to the vet's you went, where it was discovered that you were an intact male, so you were neutered. Your Purrrson found out that your dear calico friend had already been spayed.
You two kitties enjoy each other's company and now live happily in the garage, complete with a cat-door. You have beds and catnip toys and a recirculating fountain for your water source. Your Purrrson had never had a cat before, and she educated herself on what to feed you. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Kiki, on being chosen Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear calico friend and Purrrson and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine 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.
