Dearest Sissi, also known as "Princess Sissi," what an adorable tabby girl you are! You are so pretty with that soft-looking grey and brown and black tabby-patterned fur, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely big eyes. Thank you for sharing all those great photos with us. You are so cute in every one of them! How cute you were as a kitten, and how nice to see you with your orange and white friend (is that your brother Garfield?). I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Lisbon to pet you and Garfield and Silvestre! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved person will pet you all for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You and Garfield joined your family to be company for Silvestre, who is getting old. He didn't like the idea at first, but now he likes you two. You love playing and hunting flies and eating ocean fish. You enjoy talking and talking with your dear person, and you follow her when she leaves for work because you know you'll miss her all day. You like getting sun that comes in the windows and playing with "evil" Garfield. You and he and Silvestre and your dear person all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Sissi, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and Garfield and Silvestre and your dear person and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe a special serving of ocean fish!
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.
