Dearest Onyx, what a beautiful girl you are! You are so pretty with that soft-looking dark fur. It is so nice to meet you, so soon after we just met your dear sister Opal! You make your dear people smile with your antics and energy. You are like "a barrel full of monkeys, full of bouncy energy, happily chittering away!" You and they and Opal all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Onyx, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and Opal 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.
