Sweet Tortie Shelly!
Dearest Shelly, what a beautiful Tortoiseshell Shorthair lady you are! You are absolutely stunning, with that dark fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with those lovely big golden eyes. No wonder you like to look at yourself in the mirror! My beautiful Tortoiseshell Shorthair lady Galaxy, who knows how to recognize Tortie quality, says "Hello, Meow!" You are the most beautiful cat that your dear Purrrson has ever seen. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Simpsonville, SC to pet you, and pet your six kitty housemates, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you all for me .
I am so very glad to learn you were rescued from that high-kill shelter just in time! Now you live happily in your terrific Furrrever Home with your dear Purrrmanent people and kitties! Your Purrrson thinks you must have been a mother at an early age because you are so motherly to the other kitties, despite being the youngest. You love to eat, sleep, and play, and you go crazy with pointer play! Your family members all feel so lucky you've joined the family because you're such a joy to have! You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Shelly, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons and kitties and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite treats and games, perhaps another round of pointer-chasing!
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.
