Dearest Minerva, what an adorable little Teddy Bear Hamster you are! You're absolutely precious, there in your dear Mom's hand. You have the prettiest colored fur and the sweetest face with those lovely dark eyes. You're full of energy, and you love to run on your wheel and dig in your shaving and hide stuff. And you think you're unstoppable! ..as long as there's a barrier between you and your two kitty housemates! That's very good that you bolt to your security blanket plastic when a cat comes near you. Your dear person wants you always to be safe. You and she love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Minerva, on being chosen today's Pet of the Day! We hope you and your dear Mom and kitties and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
