Dearest Woody, you are so handsome! What a good-looking guy you are! You're a gorgeous brown and black tabby guy with fur that looks so soft and the sweetest face with that cute nose and those lovely big green eyes. You look so happy and content settled there with your front paws stretched out in front. I wish I could reach through the screen and up to Brossard, Quebec to pet you, and pet your doggie housemate Felipe too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me ..
And what a nice story you have to tell! Your dear Purrrson's sister found you in the lane behind her house. You were very thin and looked sick. She couldn't keep you, so she brought you to your Purrrsons-to-be. We're so glad and grateful that they took you in and gave you the care and love you needed and got you well again! You've been with them about a year now. You're the baby of the family, very friendly and playful. You like to laze around the house, even in the dryer (and we agree with cats4ever: make yourself heard if the dryer door ever gets closed with you in it!). You and Felipe are best friends, sleeping together and playing together and following him on walks. You and everyone you meet fall in love with each other. You're your household's "little ray of sunlight," and you and your dear Purrrsons and Felipe all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Woody, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Felipe 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.
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.
