Dearest Kruemelchen, what a beautiful kitty you are! That tabby-patterned fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big eyes you're just barely peeping out at us from! You look so very comfortable and content resting there. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Benneckenstein, Harz, Germany to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved friend Laura will pet you for me 
.
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You came home to your terrific family many years ago, and you made yourself right at home. That very first night you were snuggling up with your new friends! Then ten years ago your new little skin-sister came, and you kept her safe right away by sitting by her bed as she slept and watching if anybody came in. You are full of energy and make your dear people laugh at your antics, and you like to cuddle with your friend Laura in front of the fireplace. How good that you have a safe balcony you can go outside to, that is protected so you can't jump from it! You and your dear Laura love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Kruemelchen, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Laura and little sister 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.
