Beautiful Beloved Buddy!
Dearest Buddy, what a gorgeous guy you are! You're such a handsome Tuxedo, with that fluffy trademark black and white fur that looks so soft and that sweet face with the lovely big golden eyes and those unusual markings of the black nose and black chin. Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! It shows those markings quite well, not to mention your dear kitty sister Rusti behind you in the bathroom sink there. I wish I could reach through the screen and down over to Raleigh, NC to pet you and Rusti both! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me .
And what a great story you have to tell, of how you and your dear Purrrson-to-be first met! She/he had discovered that a beautiful feral mom-kitty had had kittens in his/her shed. She/he visited the little family every day and fell in love with the kitten with the black nose and black chin. Then one day she came home and was saddened and disappointed to find that mom had moved you all out of the shed.
And then, about a month later your Purrrson heard a meow, pushed some bushes back, and there was the black-nosed kitten on the other side of the fence! You talked with each other for several days before you became trusting enough to come to her side of the fence. You've been "buddies" ever since. Now you even sit on Rusti in the bathroom sink! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Buddy, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson and Rusti 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.
