Dearest Elly, you are beautiful! What a stunningly gorgeous young lady you are! Those copper-colored eyes and your matching nose are breathtaking in that sweet face, and that fur is so pretty and looks so soft. You may indeed be an "Egyptian Mau Bronze," but whether you are or not, you are definitely precious. And how good that your dear person Megha has included that on the last great photo. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Lucknow, India to pet you, and pet your brothers Lucky, Yuri, and Louis The Third, and your mother Lily and your dad too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Megha will pet you all for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You like to live like complete royalty, addressed as "Your Highness." You don't kiss, even though all the other family kitties do, but you do allow your devoted servant Megha to pet you. You make her smile with your energy and antics. You don't take nonsense, and you beat up your brothers if they bother you. You and Megha and all your family members, kitty and human, love each other dearly, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Elly, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and all you kitties 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.
