Dearest Autumn, you are stunning! What a beautiful lady you are! That long fluffy grey fur is so luxurious and looks so soft, and what a sweet face you have with those lovely pale-green eyes. Even your tipped ear is cute! Thank you for sharing those great photos with us. You are gorgeous in every one of them, and that last one enhanced with the Prisma app is fascinating! I wish I could reach through the screen and over to Glenville, NY 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, uplifting story you have to tell! You were born to a feral mom and trapped with the aid of some smelly, irresistible sardines. You were to be spayed, vaccinated, and released as a feral, as part of a Trap-Neuter-Release program. Your dear Purrrents fostered you as you recovered, but they failed as fosters, realizing they couldn't give you up! The rescue group helped you get used to life in a house, complete with a dog. Now it's thirteen years later and you are Queen of the House! (We hope your mom and any siblings you had also found good loving homes!) You love playing with your "babies," dragging the little stuffed animals around the house and discarding them. You and your dear Purrrsons all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Autumn, on being chosen today's 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.
