L.B. the Miracle Cat!
Dearest L.B., a.k.a. Little Buddy, what a good-looking young man you are! You're an absolutely gorgeous Tuxedo guy, with that trademark black and white fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with the interesting markings and those lovely big golden eyes. You are so handsome sitting right up there! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Napa, CA to pet you and rub your tummy, and pet your brother Scooter and sister Sophie and rub their tummies, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you all and rub appropriate tummies for me .
And what an amazing story you have to tell! We are so glad you were rescued when you were two days old. (I hope your dear mother, the neighborhood stray who'd been trapped in the garage for so long, was also rescued and got a safe place to live.) Your dear Purrrsons tried to hand-raise you but were unable to give you the care you needed, and you wound up with your Vet Tech "Foster Mom." You were very sick, but with lots of TLC you made it. Your Purrrsons say you're the Miracle Cat and they are so very lucky to have you!
You're the sweetest, most loving cat, who loves to help with foster kittens, welcoming them and making sure they're okay. You're a little ambassador of good will! You make your dear Purrrsons smile with your antics, such as attacking freshly showered feet with love bites. You and they and Scooter and Sophie all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling L.B., on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons and Scooter and Sophie and Mom, wherever she is, 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.
