Dearest Ruby, Your Royal Highness, what a beautiful Burmese princess you are! You have that gorgeous soft-looking fur and those lovely pale-green eyes.. And then there's your handsome ebony prince brother Vinnie.. Such excellent royalty here! I so much wish I could reach all the way around the world to Auckland and pet you both and skritch you under your regal chins. (But since I can't, I hope one of your loving servant family members will give you some pets and skritches for me 
.)
And not only are you stunningly beautiful, what a fascinating life you lead, Your Highness! You are a very busy Princess, with so much work to do keeping your neighborhood tidy, by bringing home through your cat door the things that people leave behind - stuffed toys, bathing shorts, underwear. No wonder you need lots of snuggle time! It's a good thing you have so many laps at home to snuggle on... those of Mum, two human brothers, Granny, Granddad ..even Dad, who was only medium fond of cats, until you came along and wrapped him around your adorable paw. What a delightful love-filled home you and Vinnie and your humans all share!
Congratulations, darling Ruby (and Vinnie), on being selected today's Cat(s) of the Day! We hope you and your whole family and all your friends are enjoying a fine day of celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
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.
