Dearest Gilbert, what a gorgeous guy you are! You are so handsome with that soft-looking, beautifully-patterned grey tabby fur and that sweet face with the long, LOOOOONG white whiskers and the lovely big eyes. Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! Your beauty and your spirit come across very nicely. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Burleson,TX to pet you, and pet Layla, your English bull terrier housemate, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You enjoy attacking Layla, in spite of your size difference. (We somehow suspect this is just a good game you and she play.) You also like to pester the fish who live safely in the fish tank, and to bask in the afternoon sun. You have your very own chair, which you insist on taking back if someone else is sitting on it. And that is a really nice big football you have, complete with your name on it! You are your dear skin-sister's best friend, and you and your whole family all feel very lucky to have each other. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Gilbert, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and dear Layla and your dear Purrrsons 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.
