Beautiful little Ninja!
Dearest Ninja, what an adorable little Polecat-Ferret-Mix boy you are! You are so cute with that soft-looking fur and sweet face, there in your dear person's hand. And what a wonderful story you have to tell! You were a terrible biter as a baby, but your dear persons adopted you and gave you the greatest love and care and endless snuggles, which did the trick and turned into a chubby lap ferret than can't get enough love. You are very smart, with little ferret "hands" that are very nimble. Your people even had to wire the refrigerator shut because you would pry it open to steal fruit and maybe not shut it afterwards! You are worth the trouble to them, though. You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Ninja, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe some special fruit so you don't have to steal it out of the fridge!
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.
