Dearest Berry, what an adorable Tortie girl you are! My adorable Tortie girl Poppy is looking over my shoulder at you and admiring you greatly. (She is always thrilled when one of the Tortoiseshell Sisterhood is honored as COTD!) You have such beautifully-colored so-soft-looking fur, and that face with the pretty green eyes is so sweet, as you settle down to read the New York Times. I wish I could reach through the screen to New York City and pet you and rub you under the chin and on your tummy.. But since I can't, I'm sure Meowmie and/or Marbles will give you some pets and chin-rubs and tum-rubs for me .
You are not only stunningly gorgeous, Berry, you have the most delightful Purrrsonality. You and your humans are so well suited to each other. They clearly have their priorities right, don't they.. you got first crack on the name that sounds like "barry," so Dad is now known as Marbles. You make your Purrrents smile with your antics, such as playing your own version of "fetch" depending whether a toy or a treat is the object to be fetched. You are also a very sweet girl full of affection, who loves to sit on Meowmie's lap, roll over, get tummy rubs, and purr. What a wonderful love-filled home you all share!
Congratulations, darling Berry, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and Meowmie and Marbles and all your friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.. perhaps even another round of "Fetch" played with your favorite treat, followed by a tummy rub!
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.
