Dearest Phoenix, what a beautiful Kiwi boy you are! You are so pretty with that pale orange and white fur that looks so soft, and the sweet face with that cute pale-pink nose and the lovely big amber eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us! You are so relaxed and adorable in every one of them! I wish I could reach through the screen and all the way around the world to New Zealand to rub your tummy (which your mum says you love) and pet you, and pet your kitty-sister Evee and rub her tummy if she wishes, too. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will rub any welcoming tummies and pet you both for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You and Evee are both rescue kitties, and we thank your dear Purrrents for choosing rescue and giving you both the terrific home and lives you have deserved all along. You are full of energy and make your dear Purrrents smile with your actions, such as running up and down the big tree and then back in through the cat door, scaring Mum! You are very chatty, and you love to play with ping pong balls. You are also very affectionate and laid back, you never scratch or bite, and every night you curl up on Dad's lap! You and your dear Purrrents and Evee all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Phoenix, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrents and Evee 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.
