Magnificent Merlyn!
Dearest Merlyn, what an adorable little kitten (so you say) you are! That thick, thick pale fur with the slightly-darker pale brown Himalayan points is so luxurious and looks so soft! And what a sweet face you have, with those perky ears and those lovely big pale blue eyes gazing straight at me! Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Ohio to pet you, and pet your other dear boys, 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 such a handsome, sweet boy. You're about four years old, the youngest of the boys and also the biggest. You're sure you can still fit in your dear Purrrson's lap, but you ooze right off each side if you're not careful! You accept and sometimes even demand affection. You're quite laid-back, not one to cause any kitty drama. You and your Purrrsons and boys all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Merlyn, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear boys 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.
