Dearest Crumpet, what an utterly adorable Syrian Hamster you are! You're so beautiful, with that soft-looking gold and white fur, those cute little pink paws, and that sweet face with the little pink nose, long whiskers going out all around, and lovely big dark eyes. You're very talented, too. Your dear person once saw you do a backflip! You're very strong, and you rearrange things in your cage to get your interior decoration just right. Your person says you're "pretty, kinda smart and a fun pet." You love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Crumpet, 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 lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

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