Dearest Minette, you are absolutely beautiful, a most exquisite mademoiselle indeed! That Calico fur is so pretty and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those cute pink ears and lovely big green eyes. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! Every one of them is perfect in showing you so happy at home, and I love your castle in the last one. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to France to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Sylvie will pet you for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! Ever since you were born on May 1, 2002, you've had plants around you to love. For your first 16 years you lived in a plant nursery, paradise for a kitty! Each morning you greeted every plant and tree, and you loved to play hide and seek among them. Then your dear people had to go to hospital and could no longer keep you. Your new dear person Sylvie took you with her to your new home, where you've settled in just fine, even though the garden is small. You've become a kind of art amateur there, and you and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Minette, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Sylvie 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.
