Dearest Rosa, what a stunningly beautiful girl you are! That fluffy black fur (with orange highlights) looks so very soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big yellow-green eyes. Those great photos show off your content and love so well, and I thank you for sharing them. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Victoria, BC to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me .
And what an amazing, heart-rending, inspiring story you have to tell! Your dear Purrrson adopted you impulsively to help heal his/her grief and loneliness after the passing away of her/his lovely partner. You were a very effective fur-apist, but then you and she were evicted because of her landlord's No Pets rule. She fought that with arbitration and won the right to keep her apartment but without you there. And then, since the landlord really wanted you both out, they found you a new pet-friendly apartment that was cheaper, nicer and had a balcony! We're so glad that this has worked out so well for you both, and we join in hoping anti-pet laws can be struck down in British Columbia as they were in Ontario. (I don't know if these are legal here.. Ann Arbor? Michigan? USA?)
Now you are back on duty as fur-apist, bringing unconditional love and acceptance into your dear Purrrson's life, greeting her at the door when she arrives home, and laying on her chest to watch TV together, purring beautifully. You and she love each other dearly, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Rosa, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson 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.
