Sweetie Pie Socks!
Dearest Socks, what a fine-looking, gorgeous hunk you are! Your Tuxedo fur, complete with white socks, is so pretty and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with that look of so much contentment and happiness! Thank you for sharing those great photos with us. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Ohio to pet you! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you for me .
And what a nice story you have to tell! You were a stray cat in Colorado who showed up in the yard of your Purrrsons-to-be. They thought you would go away, but you kept coming back. Then one day you followed your young Purrrson home, and they realized you were part of the family! You've gone outdoors a lot but have never run away, even after you were sedated and crated and moved to Ohio. In your new state you escaped outside but came right back. You have been part of the family all along, and you and your dear Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a delightful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Socks, 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.
