Dearest Deisel, what a good-looking Gentleman Kitty you are! That pale orange and white fur is so pretty and looks so very soft, and what a sweet face you have with that cute pink nose and those lovely big green eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us. They capture you in many different moods, and you are utterly gorgeous in them all! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Wisconsin to pet you, and pet your sister kitty, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You've been with your dear Purrrsons for almost your entire life, eighteen years so far! We're so glad and grateful your skin-brother rescued you as a kitten from nearly being hit by a semi-truck. And you've been with your terrific family ever since! You had a gasoline stain on your face for years after the accident, and that's how you got your name. Your favorite thing to do is eat, especially peanut butter. You're bigger than your fur-sister, but you let her take over the food and water dishes. We're sorry you're losing your sight, but we're glad your hearing is still good. You and your dear Purrrsons and kitty sister all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you all share!
Congratulations, darling Deisel, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear fur-sister and Purrrsons and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, especially some extra-special peanut butter, we hope!
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.
