Oh, dearest Iva Midnight, what a gorgeous, lovely kitty girl you are! Raven-black from head to toe... you are positively stunning! I wish I could reach all the way around the world to pet your soft, sleek fur and give you some tummy-rubs on your upturned belly in that last cute photo. And just look at that sweet little face with the pale-yellow eyes looking out at the world in pure delight! We looked at your photo album, and aren't you ever the greatest photo-model!

And not only are you beautiful, you are deeply loving and deeply loved. You and your PURRRSON are a PURRFECT match. Your fur-mommy saw this right away and picked you up and dropped you right at his/her feet when you first met! You and she/he are inseparable now, playing together and cuddling together, both realizing that nothing matters more than you two together.

Congratulations, darling Iva, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your PURRRSON, and the doggies if they are around, are all enjoying a delightful day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, perhaps even a new round of "Fetch" with a Nerf dart.
