Dearest Jody, what a beautiful girl you are! You are utterly adorable with that soft-looking fur that's mostly white but also has calico colors, and that sweet face with the lovely big pale-green eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Brunswick, Lower Saxony, Germany to pet you and rub your tummy! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved people will pet you and rub your tummy for me .
And what a heartwarming, uplifting story of rescue and survival and love you have to tell! In December your people found you, a tiny kitten cold, dehydrated and near death. They immediately brought you to the vet, who didn't think you'd make it. But thanks to the great medical and loving care you got, you survived! You have been getting bolder and more confident and more affectionate ever since. You follow your dear person to the garden, you reply when spoken to, and you enjoy cuddling and being stroked on your belly. I'd love to hear that sweet, high "Maus" meow! You have your safe, comfortable, loving home with your dear people for life now, and you will never be cold and hungry again. Many thanks to them for their dedication and devotion, doing everything they could to heal you! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Jody, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you 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.
