Dearest Thai, what a beautiful, handsome gentleman you are! You are such a fine example of a Siamese/Tonkinese Bluepoint with that soft-looking exquisitely colored fur and that sweet face with the cute dark-grey nose and the lovely big eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us. They show so well just what a loving, precious treasure you are! And your coloring comes through absolutely gorgeous with you on that red plaid blanket. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Clarksville, MD to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrents will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! Your biggest ambition is to be lying sound asleep, snoring away, on an old, battered red afghan on Daddy's lap. You listen more to Meowmy's voice than Daddy's. (Although there was that Thanksgiving feast in 2011, when it seemed you had forgotten all your listening skills and manners. What a memorable occasion that was for all involved!) Usually when Meowmy sits down to eat breakfast you stand up and make biscuits on her shoulder, then go to your own breakfast, which you don't eat until after she has started on hers. You and Meowmy and Daddy all love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
I was appalled and heartbroken to read of the unspeakably horrible conditions in which you and 39 other animals were kept for who knows how long.. first crowded into filthy cages and then thrown away like trash. I cannot think of punishment severe enough for the unspeakably horrible alleged-humans who did this to you all. I am completely and eternally grateful to the Virginia Siamese Rescue Center for rescuing you all and giving you the love and care you all had deserved all along. And then they brought you together with your dearest Meowmy and Daddy, who love their "geezer Meezer" so very much. You helped to comfort them in their grief over losing their dear 19-year-old Siamese Sealpoint, Mitzi, and you have done Mitzi Angel proud! I hope your fellow rescued critters found such wonderful loving homes, too.
Congratulations, darling Thai, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Meowmy and Daddy 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.
