HOLLY’S CAT LETTER
Episode 68–08/02/2024
🐱 Hi to all my admirers. It’s Friday which means calories don’t count. Indulge in a dish of yummy rhubarb strawberry cream pie with a dollop of gooey vanilla ice cream!
🐱 It’s been a lovely sunny day, the kind with a lot of lovely puffy white clouds. The humidity is a bit lower and the dew point is still at 72, but it’s certainly better than it has been. All is well.
🐱 My day started with the usual patrol of the house. Nothing much was out of order. I haven’t seen the Great Horned owl I spoke of in my previous letter. Maybe my stern looks did the trick!
🐱 So far I've had a very quiet and uneventful day. My slacker brother Oliver has been sleeping like a sloth and Ma has been doing her daily routine of popping numerous pills and drinking vile liquids.
🐱 A couple days ago Ma was concerned that she hadn’t seen Stumpy the squirrel lately. I swear—one minute hadn’t gone by and there he was scampering all over the yard. Ma was ecstatic!
🐱 I have been taking a lot of breaks from my writing because I just felt as though I needed some time to myself. That happens to all sophisticated authors like myself. So I have spent the past days relaxing, conferring with sunbeams and meditating to clear out my fogged up brain. Plus Ma has been needing extra cuddles, kisses and Intensive Purr Therapy so my batteries have been recharging. I’ll soon be 14 years old [gasp!!] so I need a lot more recharging these days.
🐱 After a whole long month I’m finally finished with my antibiotic. Now to wait until the 21st to get my urine rechecked and also my annual bloodwork done.
🐱 Earlier this afternoon Ma and Pa took a trip to the vile vet’s office to refill my kitty cocktail. Ma was giving it to me on an “as needed” basis. She asked the vet how often she could administer it over a month’s time. He told her he was ok with her giving it to me twice a day—every day. Oh boy oh joy—but if it helps my tummy and makes me eat better I guess it’s a win-win.
🐱 I hope you all have a relaxing weekend. I'm going to continue taking it easy. More about me later…love, Holly
