Dearest Dikkie, you are adorable, a Dutch kitty turned French! What a beautiful Orange Tabby you are, with that white trim around your face. My Orange Tabby girl Sparkler, who also has white trim around her face, says "Hello, Meow!" Thank you for sharing that great photo with us. You are absolutely gorgeous there! I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to France to pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved person will pet you for me
.
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You were roaming your neighborhood in Holland and met your person-to-be as he was tinkering on his motorcycle. One day he decided to go home to France and asked you if you'd like to come along. "Sure," you said, "Why not?" And home you went with him!
You've been living in France with him for eight years now. You have a nice garden you share with neighbor cats Boo and Fi-Fille. You like to chase them around, just playing (but they aren't so sure about that). In summer now, you spend your days lying in the sun. In colder weather you stay inside all nice and cosy. You are living the good life, and you and your dear person love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Dikkie, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and Boo and Fi-Fille 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.
