Lovely Lemieux!
Dearest Lemieux, what a gorgeous lady you are! Your grey tabby fur with touches of white is so pretty and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those long white whiskers and eyebrows and those lovely big golden eyes. You are so cute posing there in front of ..your favorite picture! (I wondered at first if those were LOTS of real ducks who all love you!) I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Elizabeth Township, PA and pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a nice story you have to tell! You were named for a hockey star, Mario Lemeiux, by your first family, who are hockey fans. Six years ago, they gave you to their friends, your dear Purrrsons. Since they're also hockey fans, they kept your name. You have many facial expressions besides the one of you looking "snippy" in that great photo, and thanks for sharing that one with us! They make you a one-of-a-kind cat. As you tell us, you enjoy cold cuts, bird-watching, and jumping really high. I'd love to bring you some turkey so you can show me you how high you'll jump! You and your dear Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lemeiux, 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, perhaps a special serving of sliced turkey, chopped ham, salami, etc.!
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.
