Dearest Opie, what an utterly handsome orange and white boy you are! My orange and white girl Sparkler is in love! You are so pretty in all those great photos, with that soft-looking fur and the sweet face with the cute pink nose and the lovely big eyes. You look so relaxed and happy, too, lounging on your sweater there. I wish I could reach through the screen and over to New York City to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you for me .
And what a nice story of how you and your dear Purrrson came together! He/she thought she wasn't ready to adopt after having lost her previous cat of 18 years, but one look at you at the vet's office, and the match was made! You came home that day and you have been together ever since, all these 15 years! You have had some medical issues over the years, but with a positive attitude (yours) and lots of TLC, you have been doing just fine. You and your dear Purrrson love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Opie, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson 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.
