Dearest Lil' Man, aren't you just the most precious thing ever! You're absolutely adorable, sitting up there and looking straight at me.. then curled up, relaxing, with that glossy, soft-looking fur glowing in the light.. and then with just your head peeking up at us with your lovely big golden-green eyes. You are so cute in those great photos, and thank you for sharing them. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Pembroke, Wales to pet you, and pet your dear sister Sesy Girl, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! The first surprise is that you aren't the fellow I thought you must be.. you're a girl! You're full of energy, and you make your dear people smile with all your antics, such as running around after Sesy Girl and play-fighting with her and rolling around in the garden dirt. Your Purrrson says you are like ".. a kangaroo crossed with a cheetah!" You are very talented, quite skilled at tricks such as eating, sleeping, meowing, and that sort of thing. You're also very affectionate, and you love to sleep on a warm bed by your Purrrson's feet every night. You and he/she and Sesy Girl all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lil' Man, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Sesy Girl and 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.
