We lived on a sailboat for a while. Some of the humans were on the boat traveling for two years, but our daughter went back to land for work after 6 months or so. Her cat, Tempest stayed behind. Whilst going through our things, I found this folder of letters written by Tempest, to our daughter, Paris. I thought you might enjoy them. You can find letter #1 here:
Warning NSFW language. I suppose it is because she is a sailor, but this cat has a potty mouth!!!
Dear Paris Mae,
Hey, it's me again. Tempest, your supposed beloved cat.
We need to have a talk. Something horrifying is afoot.
I know it's not Tiberius' fault. He's a dog and therefore incredibly stupid and thus shouldn't be held accountable for his actions (plus, who can blame him for wanting to absorb some of my incredible aura? I know I can't) but these humans are going to have to be taken in hand.
As you can see from the photographic evidence I attached below, this cuddling situation has suddenly become an advanced case of UN-BLOODY-ACCEPTABLE. Need I say more?
I trust you will deal with this situation accordingly (and with great haste!) so that I needn't bring such things up again.
I will accept a shipment of fresh, live mice as a token of your sincere apology. (I may not have mentioned it before, but the food situation around here is sadly lacking. Dry cat food day in and day out is simply not going to cut it for someone of my stature. I won't bring up the rice situation again. This time.)
We are still in Georgetown, Bahamas. Be sure to address the package to me specifically so that bitch Elephant doesn't eat it.
Trusting in you explicitly,
Tempest #tempestpapers
