Dearest Winter, you are wonderful indeed! What a gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cat you are, at home in your native land, beautiful Norway! You are absolutely stunning with that long, fluffy snow-white fur coat that looks so very soft. What a sweet face you have, with those big pink ears and long white whiskers and cute pink nose and lovely big blue eyes! And just look at those big snowshoe feet, and that huge puff of a tail that peeks out from behind you! Thank you for sharing that great photo with us. It shows off your beauty and your sweetness so well. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the sea to Norway and pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You're all set for those snowy Norwegian winters, aren't you. Your thick, fluffy fur keeps you warm, even in the snow, and you don't mind getting wet. You're a big boy with the tiniest meow, which I would love to hear! You don't really enjoy your Purrrsons brushing you, but you allow it. Then as soon as they're done, you groom yourself right away to re-position your fluff correctly. You appreciate their efforts, but they just can't get it right! You're a real character, making sure they're dressed fashionably with a few white hairs on their clothes. You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Winter, 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.
