Dearest Katie, a.k.a. "Big Nose Kate," what a beautiful lady you are! You are absolutely stunning, with that colorful Calico fur that looks so soft, and that sweet face with those long, LOOOONG white whiskers and lovely big green eyes and those face markings that make your nose look so huge. You certainly do your namesake Doc Holiday's girlfriend "Big Nose Kate" proud! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to the Pacific Northwest to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me 
.
And what a story you have to tell! Your dear Purrrsons drove two hours to find you one week after the 9/11 attacks. September 11, 2001 was a horrifying day for us all, but you brought some joy and hope back to your Purrrsons by your arrival into their family. Your previous owners hadn't been taking very good care of you, and when your Purrrsons-to-be arrived, you knew right away they were the Purrrfect Ones and jumped into their arms when they opened your cage! You have the most delightful Purrrsonality, thinking you're a dog and preferring to play with other dogs over cats. You love to be brushed and to lay on your back while someone scratches your belly. You even play fetch! You bring great joy to your family. You and they all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Katie, on being chosen 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.
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.
