Beautiful Barney!
Dearest Barney, what a good-looking guy you are! You are absolutely gorgeous with that fluffy, soft-looking fur and that sweet face with those lovely big blue eyes and those dark Ragdoll points with the interesting white mark down your nose. You are so cute in that great photo, standing proud among those Christmas ornaments, ready to help decorate the tree. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to New Jersey to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You are affectionate and love to sleep under the covers by your dear Purrrson's feet and follow him/her around the house. You enjoy playing fetch with a ball of rolled-up aluminum foil. You awaken your dear Purrrson at 4am for your breakfast, then go back to sleep even though she/he is now up for the day. You welcome him/her home at the door and get your tummy rubbed. And you help out indeed with the Christmas decorating! You and your dear Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Barney, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson 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.
