Dearest Dusty, you are adorable! What a good-looking guy you are. Your fluffy grey fur looks so very soft, and you have the sweetest face with that heart-shaped dark nose and the lovely big golden eyes. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! You are gorgeous in every one of them. What a big boy you are there in your dear Meowmie's arms, and how nice to see you with one of your kitty pals, too! In those pictures of you on your back, are you looking for a tummy rub? I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Illinois to rub your tummy (only if you want me to, of course) and pet you, and pet your kitty and doggie housemates and rub any desiring tums, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Meowmie will pet you all and rub appropriate tummies for me .
And what a lovely story you have to tell! You are very special to your dear Meowmie because you remind her of her beloved first kitty Baby, who went to the Rainbow Bridge recently. You and Baby's sister were her only comfort. Your mom was a stray sent to your Meowmie by her aunt who found her with the other stray cats she would feed. You are very gentle, active, talkative, loud, and friendly. You don't like Grandmeowmie singing to you and dancing with you! You play mostly with your sisters and doggie housemates. You love running up and down stairs, and waiting for someone to pass by and then racing past them. You and your dear Meowmie and your housemates of all species all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Dusty, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Meowmie and kitties and doggies 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.
