Dearest Cherio and Scooter, you are cuties indeed, so adorable! What a precious pair you are, so different and such good pals. Cherio the Fancy Mouse, you're so much smaller than your big brother Scooter the Hooded Rat! You are both beautiful in that great photo, and thank you for sharing it with us. Your fluffy fuzzy fur in your different designs looks so soft, and you have the sweetest faces with those lovely big dark eyes looking up at me. You're the best of friends, and you also love your human Dad Ryan and your Auntie who wrote about you. You have such a good time, but it sounds like it might be better not to sleep in Dad's bed with him or run around outside. We don't want you to get hurt or lost! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Cherio and Scooter, on being chosen Pets of the Day! We hope you boys and your dear Dad Ryan and Auntie and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.

Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
