Dearest Gizmo, you are gorgeous! What a stunning Tuxedo lady you are, with that cute pink nose and those lovely big yellow eyes! You are so pretty and you look so relaxed and happy there, gazing straight out at me. I wish I could reach through the screen, right now, and over to Ramsey, NJ to pet you, and pet your dear kitty pal Johnny, too. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me 
.
And what a story you have to tell! You endured some horrendous experiences as a young kitten and wound up under the Brooklyn Bridge with serious injuries. We are so glad and grateful that a kind person found you and brought you to a vet! You lost your right hind leg and needed stitches in your left. And you'd had kittens recently, at less than five months of age.
Your kind rescuer could not keep you and gave you to a dear friend, who is now your loving and beloved Furrrever Purrrson. You were very timid and shy at first, understandably so. Then you and your housemate kitty Johnny started playing together, and everybody started getting along. Blessings to you and your dear rescuer and Purrrson and Johnny! Now you are a year old, happy and trusting. You sleep in your dear Purrrson's bed, and you love your treats. You and he/she and Johnny all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Gizmo, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! I agree completely with our friend bowlkat. You absolutely deserve congratulations and deserve to be honored as today's Cat of the Day. And so does your dear Purrrson deserve to be honored, and so does Johnny. We hope you three 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.
