Dearest Boomer, you are gorgeous! What a stunningly handsome lion you are! And so attentive and caring of your Purrrents, nursing your dear Dad when he got so sick and nearly went to the Rainbow Bridge. You are so full of love and so beloved. You sit on Dad's lap to be cuddled by him. In the evenings you lay by Mom and warm her, purring as loud as a lion.
I wish I could reach through the screen to pet you! But since I can't, I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will pet you for me . What a wonderful love-filled home you have, with that nice big yard to patrol and nine other cats to supervise!
Congratulations, darling Boomer, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and Mom and Dad and Gismo and the other cats and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine day of 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.
