Lovely Lixu of France!
Dearest Lixu, what an utterly adorable young Turkish Angora lady you are! You are gorgeous in all those great, terrific photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. You're an utterly precious kitten, only three months old, with that fluffy "black smoke" fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with those lovely big golden eyes looking straight out at me. I wish I could reach through the screen and over the ocean to Perpignan, France to pet you, and pet your kitty housemates Irbis and Fusca (COTD, August 10!) and the others, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved people will pet you all for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You were, a tiny kitten lost and crying, found by a baker, who gave you to a neighbor who knows your dear person-to-be well, who gave you to him/her! You settled in easily with your new humans but not right away with the cats. Your person introduced you to them slowly, and soon you were integrated into your new family!
You are so young, and your personality is still developing. You have a very cuddly temperament but without excess, and you sleep in a perched and isolated place of your choice. Next month you will go to the vet for your first vaccines and to be scheduled for spaying and registration with a microchip. You and your dear people and kitty housemates all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled Forever home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lixu, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Irbis and Fusca and other kitties and people 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.
