Stellar Star!
Dearest Star, what a beautiful guy you are! You are absolutely stunning, with that tabby-patterned fur that has such a gorgeous design and color arrangement and looks so soft. And what a sweet face you have, with those lovely big pale-green eyes! You're so pretty, lying there looking so comfortable and content. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to New Port Richey, FL to pet you, and pet your three rescue playmates, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will pet you all for me .
And what an awful but ultimately heartwarming story you have to tell! I'm appalled that you were so badly abused by the shelter you came from. Not just anywhere, but a shelter, which is supposedly all about rescuing and helping and caring for and loving animals. I'm so very glad and grateful that your dear Purrrents rescued you from there! They gave you the loving care you needed and nursed you on store-bought milk to help you grow strong and healthy. They were delighted to watch you get strong and play and get into mischief. Now you are a very beautiful, healthy, and happy kitty of thirteen years, who still likes to play sometimes! You have three kitty housemates also rescued from the shelter. Bless your dear Purrrents for rescuing and caring for you all, and bless all you kitties too! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Star, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons 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.
