Dearest Charlie, what a gorgeous guy you are! You are a beautiful kitty with soft-looking black and white fur and the sweet face with that cute pink nose and the white whiskers and ear-tufts and those lovely big golden eyes. You are so cute in that great photo standing there in the grass with that intent look on your face. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Simmern, Germany to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved special friend will pet you for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You are five years old and have been with your dear family since you were a month old. You like to take up water with your paw and drink it. You also like to hide in the wardrobe, so your people are careful not to shut you inside it! You enjoy being outside. You are also very affectionate, and you love cuddling with your special friend. He/she likes to stroke you and pet you, and you like that too. You both love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Charlie, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear special friend 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.
