Dearest Char, what an adorable young lady you are! You are such a pretty charcoal-colored kitten complete with white spot on your chest. Your fur looks so very soft, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely golden eyes. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us. You are gorgeous in them all, and that last one of you as a tiny kitten with your blue eyes is beyond precious. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Peoria, AZ to pet you, and pet your two brothers and three sisters, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will pet you for me
And what a delightful story you have to tell! Your dear Meowmie found you outside when you were only a month old. She scooped you up, showed you to Daddy, and the rest is history! She took good care of you, feeding you kitten milk. Now you are growing into a beautiful kitty, eating whatever you want. You have two brothers and three sisters, and we're sorry that your other brother had to go to the Rainbow Bridge just last week. You love playing with brother Hunter and sister Skitter the best. You also love playing with your toys in the bathtub. You make terrific biscuits, sometimes a bit soggy. You sleep close to Meowmie, where you know you're safe and warm. You give her and Daddy loads of kitty kisses. You and they and kitties all love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Char, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and dear Hunter and Skitter and other siblings and Purrrents and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. We know your Angel brother is 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.
