Magnificent Misha!
Dearest Misha, you are magnificent indeed! You're absolutely gorgeous, with that soft-looking grey fur with darker bands and that sweet face with the white mustache and those long white whiskers and lovely big pale-yellow eyes. I love the way you're looking straight out at me! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to San Jose, CA and pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! As your dear Purrrson describes you so well, you're "a wonderful thirteen-year-old domestic shorthaired cat who still acts like a kitten." You love making up games and patiently teaching her the rules. You're inconsistent, some days very independent and others keeping a close watch on her. Sometimes you want to be touched and held, sometimes not. You are quite the performer, wanting her to watch you using the litter box! You take care of your teeth by flossing them with her hair, pawing at it until she holds out a strand. You especially love watching birds and napping in the sunshine. You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Misha, 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.
