Oh, dearest Chica Angel, what a beautiful girl you are! That sleek black fur looks so soft, and you have the sweetest face ever, with those long whiskers that are a mixture of black ones and white ones with one thicker white one, and that sweet face with those lovely big golden eyes. Thank you so much to your dear Dad for posting that stunning gallery of photos. I wish I could reach ...all the way to the Rainbow Bridge to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know the other Angels are all petting you for me .

And what a wonderful Purrrsonality you have, and what a heartwarming, uplifting story of your life with your dear Purrrents your Dad has written for us! You came to your dear Mom when you were four months of age. Dad joined the family later, and you and they were together ever since. When you were younger, you made them smile with your energy and antics. You liked to play with paper bags and old scraps of cloth and the felt rope that Mom made for you. As you got older, you were less active but became a professional lap sitter. At night you slept with them, perched on top of Mom. You also shared ideas with them of your secret cat world, piloting your dirigible "The Hinden-Chica" silently through the night, smuggling arms across international lines through your defense company ChicaCorp, or patrolling their patio as an untamed African jungle cat.

Yesterday you went to the Rainbow Bridge, and your dear Purrrents are missing and grieving you greatly. Please send some Angelic purrrs to their hearts to remind them that love is eternal, you are with them always, and you will welcome them Home... One Fine Day...

Meanwhile, they are watching for that dark dirigible, gliding silently through the night. You and they love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful, love-filled home you shared and will always share! To Chica's dear Purrrents, may your beloved keepsakes and memories help to bring you comfort.

Congratulations, darling Chica, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrents are enjoying a fine celebration together in spirit, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite Angelic games and treats, maybe even some heavenly Blue Buffalo treats! We know all the other Angels are rejoicing with you!
