HOLLY’S CAT LETTER

EPISODE 48–04/24/2024

🐱 Hi to all my admirers. I hope you’re all enjoying this pretty day. If you recall yesterday was so gloomy but right after I finished writing yesterday’s letter, sunbeams burst forth out of nowhere!! They brightly gleamed through the dirty windows in all their sunny glory!

🐱 No matter how hard Pa tries to keep the windows sparkly clean, the outside gets grungy from regular dirt and rain. The inside isn’t so much dirt but they get a lot of grimy little nose prints on them from yours truly and my slacker brother, Oliver—but seeing them puts a big smile on Ma’s face.

🐱 On another note, I’m still not feeling all that great. Ma can tell when I don’t since I get a bit restless when on her lap. So she called the vile vet early this morning and he worked me in at 10:15. Ma was right—I have a UTI, but it was caught in time and not a real bad one. So he gave me a vile combination injection of penicillin and dexamethasone. He also sent Ma home with the antibiotic Zeniquin, so she’ll be forcing that vile little pill down my throat every morning for 3 weeks. Oh the joy! 

🐱 When we finally got back home, I heard Pa telling Ma he needed to go to Farm & Fleet and buy some chemical-free lawn fertilizer and some sandpaper. Ma replied since it’s so pretty out she’d ride along and wait in the car. Before they left Ma gave me strict orders to take it easy and rest, and to not take any guff from Oliver! 

🐱 By the time they got across town to Farm & Fleet, Ma had changed her mind and decided to go in. To be honest, I think the only reasons she wanted to go inside was so she could race around the store on that cool scooter—and to yack complete strangers’ ears off. So instead of Pa’s plan of just buying the fertilizer and sandpaper, they also ended up buying like a dozen packets of flower seeds, potting soil, some upholstery cleaner, a flower pot, and Ma a pair of Skechers tennis shoes. 

🐱 I hope you all have a lovely evening. I'm going to continue napping until suppertime and then plan on calling it a night very early. More about me later…love, Holly
