Gorgeous Gizmo!
Dearest Gizmo, what a beautiful mature kitty you are! You are an absolutely gorgeous lady, with that multi-color Tortie fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with the dark nose and the white whiskers and those lovely big eyes we can barely see the slightest slits of. Thank you for posting those great photographs, which show so well how adorable you are. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Norfolk, England to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me .
And what a story you have to tell! You and your littermates were hiding behind a washing machine. When the lady there pulled it out, they ran for shelter but you came right up to your dear Purrrson-to-be, purring and rubbing your head against his/her knees. You two have been together ever since, sixteen years now! (We hope your shy littermates and your mom also found wonderful loving homes.) You've grown up together, playing and cuddling. You are very arrogant and like to lay in awkward places such as the top of the stairs and the middle of the bed. Despite that arrogance, you do love a bit of affection! You and your dear Purrrson love each other unconditionally. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Gizmo, 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.
