Dearest Maddox, what a handsome grey kitty you are! Your whiskers and your nose are grey like your fur, and what lovely pale-green eyes you have! You very likely do have some Russian Blue heritage, with that suede-like grey fur. I wish I could reach through the screen to Burnsville, MN to pet you! I can't, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you a lot for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You know how to get treats, open cupboards, have a nap, and play with your toy mice and the laser light. You love to get a head massage and eat tuna. We're so glad your Purrrson and you adopted each other at the animal clinic. You love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Maddox, on being selected 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, perhaps even some more tuna!
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.
