Dearest Victoria, what an utterly adorable Calico lady you are! You are so pretty in all of those great photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. They show you in so many different activities and positions and moods! Your fur has such a beautiful arrangement of colors and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with that cute nose and those lovely big eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Texas to pet you, and pet your kitty housemates Heidi and Lucky, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me .
And what a story you have to tell! You have really been through a lot. You first came to your dear family after they accidentally lost their kitten Keebler. You became friends with their kitty at the time, Barney, but some time later on he passed away from a heart attack. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family members for these sad losses. You were quite depressed for a while, and then torbie Heidi joined the family. You and she are like sisters now, both 5 years old! Your family has also moved a couple of times, and the moves were also stressful for you. You express your adjustment method as "if it fits I sits." It involves jumping into suitcases, boxes, CHEW boxes, curling up into your now-too-small cat post. And now you have a new family member, Lucky. She won't leave you alone and just wants to play play play! You have the most delightful Purrrsonality, and you and your dear Purrrson and Heidi and Lucky all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Victoria, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear sisters Heidi and Lucky and dear Purrrsons are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. We know Keebler Angel and Barney Angel are rejoicing with you at the Rainbow Bridge!
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.
