Dearest Melina, what a sweet, beautiful black kitty you are! Your fur is so sleek and shiny, complete with that little white tuft on your chest.. and what pretty, big yellow eyes you have! What a cute picture of you being hugged by your young friend.. you look like you think that's a bit of a tight squeeze there! I wish I could reach through the screen across the Atlantic Ocean to Konstanz, Germany to pet your so-soft-looking fur! But since I can't, I trust one of your loving and beloved family members will pet you for me
.
Not only are you adorable to see, you have a delightful Purrrsonality, too! You are your young friend's alarm clock, waking her/him every day at 6am and helping him/her with homework by sitting on the notebook so you can be petted. You like to go out at night after sleeping during the day. (We hope you will decide to stay in at night, since there are many dangers for kitties outside, such as predatory animals and fast cars and cruel humans.) You are quite choosy about which cat foods you want to eat when. I know cats like that; in fact a couple of them live with me! You have been with your family since you were a tiny kitten, and now you are a big girl. What a wonderful love-filled home you all share!
Congratulations, darling Melina, on being selected today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your whole family and and your neighbor kitty namesake Merlin 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.
