Dearest Wilfred, what a stunningly handsome, distinguished-looking gentleman you are. Your beautiful Tuxedo fur is so shiny and soft-looking, and what a sweet face you have, with those lovely yellow eyes and the long, LOOOOONG white whiskers and eyebrows. I wish I could reach through the screen around the world to Melbourne, Australia to pet you! But since I can't, I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a wonderful Purrrsonality you have! We're so glad your Purrrsons went to the no-kill shelter to look for a cat. You told them right away they were the ones for you! Since then, you have grown from a tiny kitten into a good-sized cat. You are full of fun and make your Purrrsons smile with your antics. You love to play with ribbons* and your toys, especially your Wombat, which is great for fetching. You and your family members all love each other very much, don't you! What a delightful love-filled home you all share.
Congratulations, darling Wilfred, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your whole family and all your friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, maybe even another round of Wombat-fetch!
* NOTE: to Wilbur's family, please do not let Wilbur play with ribbons! He could swallow one and it could cause great damage to his intestines.
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.
