Dearest Sir Chi Chi, what a beautiful black velvet chinchilla you are! Your fluffy fur looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those perky pink ears and lovely dark eyes. You're eight years old now, and you've lived with your dear family ever since you were six months old! You've given them great enjoyment. You love to be petted and to sit on your dear person's shoulder, especially while he/she is working on the computer! You are a great help keeping her/him aware of posture and tickling his/her cheek with your whiskers. You're so soft and curious and fun, and you make your dear people smile with your antics and energy. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Sir Chi Chi, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
