Dearest Spider, you are stunning! What a handsome fellow you are! That sleek ebony fur is gorgeous and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big golden-orange eyes. You look so regal and comfortable there on your spider-web doormat. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Venice, CA to pet you, and pet your dear kitty sister Raj, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You are definitely Chief-of-Staff in your household. You are very careful about which cats you allow to enter your garden or demand your Purrrents' attention. You welcome their friends but are very selective as to which of them you will curl up alongside. You are quite the gourmet and often demand something from the refrigerator rather than the cat food bag. You jump into the computer chair when your Purrrson steps away from it, but you share your company by nestling between both your Purrrents when watching the evening news. You also expect to be carried to the bedroom at bedtime, sleeping on the pillow between their heads. If Raj is there, you nudge her aside to sandwich one of them. After all, you're the "alpha cat!" You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Spider, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrents and Raj 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.
