Dearest Smokey, you are gorgeous! You are absolutely adorable with that thick, plush grey fur that looks so soft and those cute paw pads, some pink and some grey. You have the sweetest face, too, with the darker-grey nose and those lovely big eyes, one green and one hazel. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! You are stunning in each of them. I'd love to be able to reach through the screen and down to San Antonio and rub that tummy (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Meowmie will rub your tummy (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you for me .
And what a delightful, uplifting, and heartwarming story you have to tell! Your dear Meowmie rescued you when you were being attacked as a small kitten. She brought you home, and you have been home with her ever since, all these 17 years! You greet her at the door when she comes home, you snuggle with her on the sofa or her bed, and you can always turn her frown around. You have two skin-brothers, and they and Meowmie spoil you. She says you are the daughter she never had. You and they all love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Smokey, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Meowmie and skin-bros 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.
