Dearest Roxy, you are beautiful! What a gorgeous kitty lady you are! Your fur is so pretty in that tabby design and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those long white whiskers and those lovely big eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Opelika, AL to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Pete and Grandma will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You first met your dear Dad-to-be Pete at the local cat adoption center when you were six months old. You knew right away that he was the right one for you. You reached out and grabbed his finger and licked it and purrred loudly. He of course took you right home, and you've been together some 14 years now! You make him and your dear Grandma smile with all your antics and energy. You are an indoor-outdoor cat and often bring home little surprises (mostly still alive) to them. You have a best kitty friend outside with whom you share your food. You love to be combed and petted, and you sleep next to Pete in your own little cat bed by his head. You wake him at 6am each day to let you out. You love to cuddle up with your Grandma. You sleep in your window hammock on cold or rainy days when you can't go out. You follow your dear Pete wherever he goes, even just to take out the trash. He and Grandma treat you like a PRINCESS! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Roxy, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Pete and Grandma and kitty pal 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.
