Awesome Oreo!
Dearest Oreo, what a gorgeous Tuxedo Shorthair guy you are! That fluffy Tuxedo fur is so pretty and looks so very soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big green eyes and what looks like a big white mustache! You make a terrific Santa Claus. I'd be thrilled to have you come down my chimney (assuming I had a chimney in my 2-room ground-floor apartment!). I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Kentucky to pet you, and pet your dear girl-kitty housemates, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you all for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You're independent but very loving. Your favorite pastime is chasing the red laser dot. Even though you're neutered, you're all boy in behavior and attitude. You like to strut your stuff, what with all these girl kitty housemates! You tolerated the Santa Claus outfit being put on you, though you did not like it when the hat flopped down. Still, you kept it on long enough for the photo, which makes it extra special to your dear Purrrson. You're rambunctious at times, cuddly at others, and always debonair in your tuxedo coat. You and your Purrrsons and kitty sisters all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Oreo, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear kitty sisters and 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.
