Dearest Sylvia, what a gorgeous Red tail Colombian Boa Constrictor you are! You're quite beautiful, comfortably settled back in that corner with the books. And what a treasure you are to your dear person! You came into his/her life at a time when he/she needed another being to love him/her unconditionally. You're mysterious and very aware. You're the perfect hugger, and you two have conversations through bodily language. You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Sylvia, on being chosen Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and hugs and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

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