Dearest Ashley, what a good-looking Siamese-mix girl you are, absolutely gorgeous! You have such soft-looking fur, complete with tabby-pattern points. And what a sweet face you have, with that cute orange nose and the big ears and those lovely blue eyes. How nice that you have the water flowing for you on command there! I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Frisco, TX to pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Dad will pet you for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! Your posting friend's brother had never been interested in animals and had ignored the family pets while he was growing up. Then you started hanging around his house and following him around when he went outside. Before long he was smitten by you and took you in. Now you've taken over the house, and you have him very well trained! You only drink water from the bathroom sink, so he turns on the faucet right away when you tell him to. You have made magic, turned him into a true cat-lover! As your friend says, "Score one more for the Feline Fraternity!" You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Ashley, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Dad 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.
