Adorable Shrimp!
Dearest Shrimp, a.k.a. Shrimp-O (and laid-back, trouble, and adorable), what an adorable kitty you are indeed! You're so cute in your Santa hat (getting a head start on the holiday season, aren't you!) and utterly precious lying there scrunched up on that bedding with those cute back paw-pads showing. Your brown tabby and white fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those golden eyes gazing straight at me. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Fresno to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what an amazing story you have to tell! Five years ago you were a stray kitten, crying under a car when it was cold and rainy outside. You were invited inside for some food and affection, and you ran to your rescue at your Purrrmanent Home-To-Be. You never left, and you quickly became a member of the family!
You have the most delightful Purrrsonality! You're very affectionate, friendly, sweet, and comical. You're also very laid-back, and at times you can be found laying on your back dead to the world. And you love to be vacuumed! You and your dear Purrrsons, and everyone you meet, all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Shrimp, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear 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.
