Sweet Friendly Frisky!
Dearest Frisky, you are gorgeous! What a fabulously good-looking orange guy with white trim you are! (My fabulously good-looking orange girl with white trim Sparkler says "Hello, Meow!") You are adorable winking at me as you rest on that pretty multi-color rug, and its colors really harmonize with your soft-looking fur colors! You have the sweetest face, with that cute pink nose and those lovely big golden eyes there. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to West New York, NJ to pet you, and pet your dear sister Tootie, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! Your dear Purrrsons adopted you and Tootie from the local animal shelter when you were eight weeks old, and you have all been together for twelve years now! You're a big boy who likes his kibble. You're very gentle, and you love being combed. You are a terrific family member who has brought all who know you great joy and happiness (not to mention many gold hairs to decorate their home and clothing). You and Tootie and your Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Frisky, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Tootie 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.
