Dearest Mikey, you are absolutely adorable! What a gorgeous young man you are, with that glistening, sleek black fur and those lovely big pale-green eyes. That fluffy, multi-color, feathery ..creature you are holding onto provides a fantastic contrast! You look so comfortable and so full of fun, just relaxing on your back with it. I wish I could reach through the screen and down to Central Florida to pet you, and pet your mom Sammantha and dad Colin, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you all for me .
And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You're one and a half years old, still very much a full-grown kitten, as your dear Purrrson says. You're a slapper, a nosy one, who loves to play. Your Purrrson-mom gives you an ice cube each morning, and you have a great time batting it and chasing it around the floor! You and your family members, feline and human, all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Mikey, on being chosen Cat of the Day! You're magnificent, indeed! We hope you and your dear Purrrents Sammantha and Colin and 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 and maybe another ice cube to chase around the floor!
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.
