Dearest Emma, you are absolutely stunning! What a beautiful lady you are! Your brown-black Tabby and white fur is so pretty and looks so very soft, and what a sweet face you have with that darling pink nose and lovely big pale-green eyes. You look so comfortable and serene in that great photo, held closely to your dear Purrrson's chest. Thank you for sharing it with us! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Aurora, IL and pet you, and pet your dear sister, too. I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrson will pet you both for me .
And what a terrific story you have to tell! Your Purrrson adopted you and your sister from a shelter when you were just kittens, and we thank them for adopting a rescue pet! You and your sister are excellent examples of the wonderful friends to be found in shelters. Your 18th birthday is coming soon, and you have all been together almost all those 18 years! You've become very close to your Purrrson as you've gotten older. You're very chatty, and you love sitting up on her/his chest to ask for treats. You also enjoy rolling around on your catnip mat and greeting visitors to your home. You put your paw on her/his face to get her attention. You mean so very much to her! Your Purrrsons are now giving you fluids three times a week to help your kidneys and keep you going as long as possible. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Emma, on being chosen Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrson and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats. And we send loads of loving good wishes to you and your sister for a Happy 18th Birthday!
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.
