Dearest Midnight, you are gorgeous! What a stunning ebony fellow you are! That sleek, shiny fur looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely golden eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us! It's so nice to see you in your harness and leash safely enjoying the outdoors, and in that last one of you on your back, are you asking for a tummy rub? I wish I could reach through the screen and down to St. Petersburg, FL to rub your tummy (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will rub it (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you for me .
And what a nice story you have to tell! You came to your dear Purrrsons as a kitten about six months old, abandoned and crying at their front door. Their previous cat Benny had passed away some time before after being with them for 14 years. They hadn't been actively looking for another cat, but then you showed up, and the rest is history! (We bet Benny Angel had a hand, or paw, in sending you to their door.) You are very special and know some word commands and in what order things should be at home. One time you alerted your Purrrsons that they had forgotten to close and lock the front door! You went to bed after they closed it. You're an indoor cat but enjoy your daily yard walks in your harness and leash. You are they joy of your dear Purrrsons' lives, and you and they love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Midnight, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. We know that Benny Angel and the other Angels are rejoicing for you at the Rainbow Bridge!
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.
