Dearest Booster, you are absolutely gorgeous! What a fine-looking Holy Birman gentleman you are, a distinguished Senior Citizen of nineteen years! You are stunning in those two great photographs,with that long, fluffy, soft-looking fur and that sweet face with the lovely big blue eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Belgium to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved family members will pet you for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You have been with your dear special friend ever since she was a little girl and you were a kitten! Nineteen years later you are still together. We LOVE your birthday video! You are more gorgeous than ever in it. (And who are those other kitties there?) Your eyes are beautiful; they do not make you look mean at all. We're glad you are doing well on your special kidney diet. You are always gentle and come for snuggles and hugs. You're taking it easy at this age, asking your dear people for attention, which they gladly give you, and you stay close to your special friend. You and all your family members love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Booster, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear special friend and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine 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.
