Dearest Masha, you are adorable! What a beautiful tabby girl you are, indeed! You are so pretty with that soft-looking fur and the sweet face with the cute nose with the dark outline and those nice long white whiskers and the lovely big eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Düsseldorf-Flingern in Germany to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved person will pet you for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You are a mature thirteen-year-old lady who is your dear person's best friend. You like to sit out on the balcony on summer days to chill and to get your fur warm in the sun on cool days. You hit your person's feet with your paw when you don't want to cuddle or are hungry. But when she/he has back pain, you jump up there and massage the back with your paws, close your eyes and purr so loud that he/she almost falls asleep! When she draws, you sit on the picture to get attention, and you annoy unexpected (self-invited) guests with your evil eye. You and your dear person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Masha, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear person 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.
