Magnificent MussPuss!
Dearest MussPuss, what an adorable lady you are! That fluffy grey fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big golden eyes! Thank you for sharing that great photo with us. We can see what an excellent Sock-Warmer you are! I wish I could reach through the screen and all the way around the world to New Zealand to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Mum will pet you for me .
And what a terrific story you have to tell! You were given to your dear Mum about twelve years ago. Not long afterwards you went missing for a few months. Mum was very sad and thought she'd never see you again, but then one day you were back! Now you are very pampered and even have your own place at the dining room table. Your favorite place is your cardboard box. You keep busy tearing up important pieces of paper and warming socks. You and your dear Mum love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling MussPuss, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mum 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.
