Dearest Asterix, also known as Asterix der Nussknacker, what a beautiful Chinchilla you are! That sapphire-white-violet fur is absolutely stunning, and you have the sweetest face with those big ears and long whiskers and lovely big dark eyes. You have the most delightful personality, too. You love to play with your chinchilla housemate friends Glim and Aunel. Sometimes you come sit on your dear person as he/she writes on the laptop. You are a very sweet little guy, and you and she/he and Glim and Aunel all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Asterix, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and Glim and Aunel and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe some special goji berries, nuts and apples!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
