Dearest Taz, what a beautiful mature lady you are! That classic tabby fur is so pretty and looks so very soft, and what a sweet, sweet face you have with that white mustache and goatee and the long white whiskers and those lovely big eyes. Thank you for sharing those great photos with us! You are absolutely gorgeous in them all. How comfortable and content you are in them! I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Wales to pet you, and pet your younger “sister” Gracie too. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved mum will pet you both for me 
.
And what a delightful story you have to tell! Your dear Mum rescued you when you were young; you'd just had kittens and were left at a veterinary practice. You and she have been together 17 years now! You used to be naughty and catch birds, but now some pigeons and doves are your friends and visit every day. You keep order when other cats are around and make sure Gracie is learning to behave properly. You are slowing down some now, but you still go wandering, sometimes out of your garden (watch out for the fox!). You love the sunny days that warm your fur. Mum got you your own little summer house, and you have many beds. You love your dear Mum and she loves you very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Taz, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mum and Gracie 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.
