Dearest Rusty, a.k.a. Prince Rusty Snugglemuffin, what a beautiful Abyssinian guy you are! That brown and white fur is gorgeous and looks so very soft, and you have the sweetest face with those long white whiskers and lovely big green eyes. Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! You are absolutely stunning in that closeup shot, gazing upward with eyes like marbles. The background colors show you off so nicely, too. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Waterbury, CT to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a story you have to tell! One day your dear Purrrsons-to-be had dinner at a Japanese restaurant and then decided to take a look in the "pet store" next door. They fell in love with a tiny Abyssinian kitten (YOU!) and went back the next day to get you. You were quite ill, as is often the case with animals in these disreputable establishments, but they took you to the vet right away and then nursed you back to good health. Great thanks from the bottom of my heart to your dear Purrrsons, for saving you from from certain doom! Now you're "the smartest, most loving cat you could ask for." You take the "Snuggle" part of your name very seriously. You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Rusty, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons 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.
