Dearest Saffron, what a sweet sassy Calico Lady you are, indeed! You're absolutely beautiful, with that soft-looking multi-color fur in such an interesting design and that sweet face with those big perky ears and lovely big round pale-green eyes. Thank you for sharing that great photo with us! You're so cute, relaxing there and looking straight out at me. I wish I could reach through the screen and across the sea to Kilmainhamwood, County Meath, Ireland to pet you, and pet your "sister" Deedee, too! I can't, of course, but I know your loving and beloved Purrrsons will pet you both for me .
What a terrific story you have to tell! You and Deedee are both rescue cats from Dublin, and we thank your dear Purrrsons for choosing rescue kitties. You and Deedee are excellent examples of the pet-companion treasures to be found in rescue shelters! You both happily settled into rural life six and a half years ago when your family moved from Dublin. And what a delightful Purrrsonality you have! You exhibit those Calico traits of having a mind of your own and loving to do things your way. You're very friendly, especially with other animals. Lately you've been needing more petting at home, so you and your dear Purrrsons have been having some really nice lovey dovey times together! You all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!
Congratulations, darling Saffron, on being chosen Cat of the Day! We hope you and your dear sister Deedee and 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.
