Dearest Alphonzo, a.k.a. Mr. Fluffy Paws, what an gorgeous Somali lad you are! You are utterly stunning in those great photographs. That fluffy fur looks so very soft and is such a beautiful fawn color, and what a sweet face you have with those long, LOOOOONG white whiskers and ear tufts, and those lovely big eyes that match your fur color so well. In those pictures of you on your back, are you asking for a tummy rub? I wish I could reach through the screen and across the country to Oakland to rub your tummy (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will rub it (only if you want it rubbed, of course) and pet you for me .
And what an amazing story you have to tell! You came to him/her when you were a mere five weeks old, and you have been together ever since. You make your family members smile with all your energy and antics! You have been on travels together, and you help your special Purrrson with music practice and composition. You are a very precious companion to her/him. You and all your family members love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Alphonzo, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you 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.
