Stunning Skittles!
Dearest Skittles, you are stunning indeed, absolutely gorgeous! What a Purrrfect Persian-mix guy you are, with that oh-so-thick white fur that looks so soft, and that long thick tail, and that sweet face with those perky ears and lovely big eyes. You're so beautiful there in the midst of that green grass and leaves and yellow flowers, turning your head around to look up at us. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Greensboro, NC to pet you, and pet your doggie pal Courtney, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You were born as a barnyard cat, and when your dear Purrrson got you, you were so small you fit in his/her palm! Now you weigh some 30 pounds, a bit too big to fit in anyone's palm. Your Purrrson likes to change things around in the house, and you adapt right away to new water bowl or litter box locations. You sleep with her/him each night, changing sides when she rolls over so you two are always face-to-face. You stroke the side of her face with your paw if she sleeps in too late. She is honored to be the one chosen to take care of your castle! You have been with her through thick and thin, and you and Courtney keep her sane. She thanks God every day all day for you both! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Skittles, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Courtney and Purrrson 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.
