Dearest Lilli, what a beautiful lady you are! That black fur is gorgeous and looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face with those lovely big golden eyes. You're so pretty peeking out from under that pretty wrap! I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Pressbaum, Lower Austria, Austria and pet you, and pet your dear sister Dori, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved friend will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You make your friends smile when you spin in circles chasing your tail. When you want to lie somewhere, you just fall right down there. You like to lick on plastic bags. You're very affectionate and love to cuddle with someone or something. You're a real character, and you and Dori and your friend and David all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Lilli, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Dori and David and friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. And we are sending you Happy Third Birthday wishes for June fourth!
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.
