Precious, Pretty Polly!
Dearest Polly, what an utterly beautiful Long-haired Tabby lady you are! You are so pretty with that fluffy orange and white fur that looks so soft, and that amazing huge tail, and that sweet face with the cute pink nose and those lovely big green eyes. I don't know if I believe you're a senior kitty, either. You look like the sweetest kitten! I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Cornwall, England and pet you, and pet your twin brother Paddy, 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! You're unfailingly affectionate, purry, and playful, soft and sweet as well as beautiful. You don't believe you're a senior kitty and refuse to act as one. You've been an eternal kitten in both nature and appearance ever since your dear Purrrsons welcomed you and dear Paddy Home! Their three children have grown up with you two. You and Paddy and all your Purrrsons love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Polly, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear brother Paddy 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.
