Dearest Mischief, what an adorable mature Moggy lady you are! You have such pretty brown-black tabby and white fur that looks so soft, and the sweetest face with those perky ears and the lovely big pale-green eyes looking straight out at me. Your fur has such an interesting design.. I love that tabby patch going down through the white around your nose! I wish I could reach through the screen and all the way around the world and down to Durban, South Africa to pet you, and pet your dear kitty siblings, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will pet you all for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You've lived with your dear Purrrents ever since you were just five weeks old. You were very curious (well, you were a kitten!), often getting into trouble, which is how you earned your name. You're more stately and calm now, except for a bit of naughtiness from time to time, to keep your paw in. You have several kitty siblings, and you're the eldest, thirteen years old now. When your Purrrents go out, you watch for them to return. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Mischief, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear kitty siblings and Purrrents 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.
