Dearest Toby, what a gorgeous grey guy you are! You are so good-looking with that sleek grey and white fur that looks so soft, and that sweet face with those lovely big eyes. Your Russian Blue heritage really shows through! Thank you for sharing those great photos with us, showing you at different activities and ages. You really did just about fit in a coffee cup, back in your adorable-baby-kitten days! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to ..wherever you are in Ontario.. and pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You and your dear Purrrsons have been together since you were a tiny kitten who almost fit in that coffee cup! You are full of energy and make them smile with your antics. You are their feisty hunter, such a little lion! You pounce on legs on the landing for the stairs. You aren't just a housecat; you love roaming the neighborhood as king of the jungle. (We join in with our friend Randi saying, "Do be careful out there!") You love sitting in the bay window and drinking water from the plant. Your favorite food is cheese, and you show up immediately, purring away, at the rustling of a cheese wrapper! You and your dear Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Toby, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, maybe even some extra-special cheese!
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.
