Dearest Pomme, you are absolutely stunning! What a gorgeous kitty you are, with that brown tabby and white fur that looks so soft, and that sweet, sweet face with those lovely big golden eyes and that cute pink nose with its little brown spot. You're a beautiful Québecois lady, PURRRFECT for our Canada Day Cat of the Day, July 1! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Val-d'Or, Québec to pet you. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved people will pet you for me .
And what a delightful personality you have! You're sassy, but classy. You love to be photographed and be adored and looked at. You don't like to be petted or to sit on a lap. If you like someone, you lick that person's hand. You greet visitors at the door and let them admire you, and then you head for your favorite spot on the windowsill. Sometimes you perform wild antics or strike unusual poses, but all in all, you're "the looker" and always will be. You and your dear people all love each other very much, don't you. Your name means Apple in English, and you are clearly the Apple of their eyes! You've been with them ever since you were born, and what a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Pomme, on being chosen Cat of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends have been 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.
