Marvelous Marzipan!
Dearest Marzipan, what an adorable young lady you are! Your coat is so colorful and gorgeous and looks so very soft. Perhaps you're a calico, with that tortie-plus-white coloring! You have the sweetest face with those long curly white whiskers and that cute pink nose and those lovely big pale-green eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Quakertown, PA to pet you, and pet your four kitty housemates, too! I can't, of course, but I know your two human slaves will pet you all for me .
What a delightful Purrrsonality you have! Even though you're the youngest cat in your family, you rule the roost! You keep busy greeting visitors, inspecting all packages, and protecting the slaves from scary objects like milk jug rings, twist-ties, and dust bunnies. How did they ever run the household before you arrived?!! You make sure the water gets turned on whenever a slave approaches the sink. You settle on any available lap. You're quite a character, indeed! You and your dear kitty housemates and Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Marzipan, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons and kitty pals 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.
