Beautiful, Precious Milli!
Dearest Milli, what a beautiful, precious Tabby child you are indeed, just five months old! You're the cutest little thing, a growing kitten girl standing on all four legs but leaning against the post to be sure and keep your balance. That fluffy, distinctively Tabby-patterned fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those curly white whiskers and big perky ears and lovely dark eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Oyten, Germany to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved young friend will pet you for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You're very happy when your dear friend comes home from school. You follow her and play with her. You often enjoy sleeping in the wardrobe. You like going outside, and we hope your friend goes out with you and keeps an eye on you while you're out. We wouldn't want you to get lost or to be captured by a bigger animal or bird! You're very comforting to your friend, and you love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Milli, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear friend 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.
