Dearest Raisin, what a gorgeous fellow you are! Your white fur with the orange highlights is beautiful and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with that pale pink nose and the lovely big golden eyes. And thank you for sharing those great photos with us! It is so nice to see how you've transformed from being a bit scrawny and scratched when you first came home, to the plush, handsome fellow you are now. You look so much happier and relaxed now, too! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to New York City to pet you, and pet your kitty housemates too. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you all for me .
And what a nice story you have to tell! You were a store cat in the neighborhood spending a lot of time roaming the streets. And then this past fall, with winter coming, the store people didn't particularly care what happened to you, so your dear Purrrents brought you home. We thank them greatly for choosing to rescue you! And what a change.. you've filled out and now are totally at home. You've explored the entire apartment and found good places to snooze and soak up sunlight. You like to settle down next to whoever's there on the sofa for getting your spotlessly clean fur petted and fuzzied. You are still getting to know your kitty housemates better, but you're all coming right along. You're a sociable, charming little guy, and you and your dear Purrrents and other kitties all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Raisin, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrents and kitty housemates 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.
