Dearest Blaster, I'm so happy and grateful that you have your wonderful family now, after that horrible abuse you suffered at the hands of your first alleged-family. You were very underweight when you came to your Furrrever Home, and now you are three years old and fat and happy. You have a piggie friend, Blackberry, too! You are full of energy and make your dear special friend smile with all your antics. You are very pretty with that multi-colored fur and the sweet face. You and your dear people and Blackberry all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Blaster, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! I hope you and your dear people and Blackberry 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 bell peppers and cucumbers!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
