Allow me to share one of my favorite quotes about the animal-human bond.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened (Anatole France)

Dearest Peppa, you were the one to "awaken" that part of your Mommy's soul. I can feel your very special bond through her words, and it brings tears to my eyes because it is obviously so strong and so pure. What an amazing kitty you are to have triumphed over so much, from being abandoned alone as a kitten to overcoming the dreadful disease of cancer, you have proven yourself a graceful survivor and a true inspiration for human and animal alike. Truly you fill your family's life with joy they might never have known had you not found your daddy that fateful day. Bless his heart for bringing you home, and your family for taking you into their own hearts. I hope today is especially wonderful, with lots of smiles and affection to enjoy and cherish. Congratulations Peppa, our BEAUTIFUL (inside and out) Cat of the Day!
