Sweet Young Caesar!
Dearest Caesar, what an adorable young man you are! You are such a pretty kitten, with that fluffy soft white fur with the dark points and that sweet face with the long white whiskers and those lovely big eyes that are closed as you consider that toy you're holding on to. You are so cute, and I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Marburg, Hessen, in Germany to pet you, and pet your neighbor cat too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved person will pet you, and maybe the neighbor cat too, for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You're a bit plump but already quite active at your young age. You are quite the hunter, and you bring little gifts that you've caught to your people. You do love your food.. cat food for babies, and leftover yoghurt you lick from cups, and food your dear people broil outside, particularly fish! You enjoy watching football and birds on TV, springing at the screen to try and catch the birds. Sometimes you pester the neighbour kitty and you two compete in hissing. I hope you two will become good friends before long! You love relaxing on the sofa or the windowsill. You're very playful and spoiled, and you and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Caesar, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and neighbour cat and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of broiled fish!
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.
