Dearest Pumpkin, you are gorgeous! What a beautiful orange and white tabby guy you are, with such an interesting design of markings. My orange and white tabby girl Sparkler says "Hello, meow!" Thank you for sharing those great photos with us. You are so pretty in both, and we can see how adept you are at getting up into that tree. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the ocean to Lichfield, England to pet you, and pet your doggie pal, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You make your dear Purrrsons smile with your energy and antics. You're a great bathroom buddy, fascinated by water. You love climbing trees and jumping on your doggie pal's back and playing Pokey Paw under the bathroom door with him. You also love getting into cupboards and wardrobes and sneaking into the pantry and sleeping on top of warm towels. You are very sweet-natured and affectionate, loving cuddles and tum rubs and always purring. You and your dear Purrrsons and doggie pal all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Pumpkin, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear Purrrsons and doggie pal and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats, complete with a special serving of ham!
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.
