Darling Dodge!
Dearest Dodge, a.k.a. BratBoy and "Master of the Universe," you are darling indeed! You're absolutely adorable in that great photo, and thanks for sharing it with us. You look so comfortable and happy, scrunched down in that chair behind your dear Mommy. You're "a bit of a Mommy's boy," all right! Your Domestic Tabby and white fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those perky ears and the lovely big eyes that look orange in that light. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Farmdale, OH to pet you, and pet your doggie pal Sadie, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Mommy and Daddy will pet you both for me .
And what a nice story you have to tell! You and your dear Purrrents met at a shelter they volunteered for. Many thanks to them for their volunteer work and for choosing to adopt a shelter kitty! You worked hard to get their attention, jumping up on their backs while looking all cute and cuddly. Finally, you all adopted each other, and you showed your true colors as soon as you got in the door. (Your nicknames, above, say it all.)
You have the most delightful Purrrsonality! You like to tease Sadie, and then you sleep peacefully together on the bed. You're very helpful around the house. You help Daddy work on computers and Mommy keep her desk clean and both of them change the bedsheets. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Dodge, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Sadie and Mommy and Daddy 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.
