Dearest Tux, a.k.a. Precious and Orson, what a gorgeous guy you are! You are so handsome with that Tuxedo-pattern fur that looks so soft. And what a sweet face you have, mostly black fur with the white stripe down your nose and onto your chin, and the long white whiskers and eyebrows, and those lovely big green eyes. You are so beautiful in that great photo! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Suffolk County, NY to pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have, very distinct! You do like your food, and it seems you are pleasingly plump. You like getting attention and being placid and lazy. Your Purrrsons say you are somewhat un-catlike, oblivious to things cats would be aware of. We know you are a terrific cat just as you are! You are "a decent little buddy," don't scratch the furniture, and are affectionate to people. You are special to your whole family, and you and your dear Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Tux, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons 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.
