Dearest Teofilo, you are beautiful! What a handsome gentleman cat you are! You are so good-looking with that soft-looking snow-white fur and that sweet face with the cute pink nose and those lovely big golden eyes. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Bogota, Colombia to pet you, and pet your doggie and three kitty housemates, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved person will pet you all for me .
And what an amazing, heart-rending but ultimately uplifting story you have to tell! You used to live in this awful "home" where the so-called "people" locked you in a bathroom after they got a dog and decided you were no longer part of their "family." I'm so very glad and grateful that your new, kind person arranged to take care of you for a few days and then got that first "owner" to give you to her/him! Now you have the perfect loving home and family that you deserved all along!
You have the most delightful personality and are charming, lovely, and sweet. You make your dear family members smile with all your energy and antics. You are smart, obedient, and educated, and you know different tricks like jumping in circles and standing on your back paws. You and they all love each other very much, don't you!!!!! What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Teofilo, on being chosen today's Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear people and doggie and kitties 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.
