Dearest Elvin Lee Mustachio, what a gorgeous Tuxedo kitty you are! What beautiful soft-looking fur you have, and what a sweet face with the white mustache and diamond marks and the white whiskers and the lovely golden eyes. You are adorable in those great photos, and thank you for sharing them with us. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Kentucky to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved special friend will pet you for me .
And what a delightful story you have to tell! You came to your dear family six years ago as a gift for older sister. You were a very independent kitten but after a while chose your special friend from the family. You are a nice big 16 pounds and make a fine pillow! You love to play with fake mice and are a great hunter of real mice. You come to your special friend when she/he is upset or stressed. You and he/she and all your family members love each other very much, don't you. You are eight years old now, not old at all, and we trust you and they will all enjoy many more happy and healthy years together. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Elvin, 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.
