Dearest Sunny, you are stunning! What a handsome South African Boer Goat you are, standing with your leg over that fence and looking out at me, with a few of your girlfriends in the background. You are quite the noble gentleman, extremely docile around people. You have a very important job: you're a breeder, and you clearly do excellent work. You have many kids at your ranch there in Texas! You and your dear family members, whatever species, all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Sunny, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of spaghetti and bread!

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
