Dear Grammy,

Me and Tenny are reel icksited about yoo coming from Airyzona to take care of us wile Mommy is in the hosspittul gittin her guts fixed.  (Her operayshun is Monday the 11th.)  We know we is spoilt rotten littelschitts and with these thirteen reminders when Mommy comes home she will see nuthing haz changed. 

1.  The food bowl.  In the sleepy room on the big windowsill is the bowl with our crunchies.  Its reely nuthin fancy.  The bowl sits on a woodin Gargoyle sunglassis bocks.  Mommy red its better for kitties not to haff to bend ofur to eet.  I haff tried eeting both ways and I find the standing up part to be a soopeereeur method of stuffing my fayce. 

See behind the bowl?  I put crunchies bak thare jes in case we haff a problim with the bowl.  We kood nock it ofur or, bast forbid, it kood go emptee!  I'm big into emerjincee preparidniss.  

Me and Tenny haff crunchies out all the time and we eet when we want.    We dont like when the bowl is emptee.  (What kitty duz?)   Heer is sum pitchurs to illastrate whut our bowl shood look like. 

2.   The food pale.  

Heer is whare our crunchies stay til its time to be eeten.  Thare is a purpil scoop inside the buckit.  Mommy uses it to put the food in our bowl. 

 I know the pale sez Science Diet, but thats not whut is in it.  We eet Wellness Adult Complete Hellth Chick-Hen.  Its sum pritty tasty chow.   Yoo can git more of it at Cat Connection in Dallas.  Daddy kin drive the Shevvie thare.  Daddy thinks we shood mix it with Science Diet but Mommy sez it haz too many grains.   When yoo see how fit and hellthee we are yoo will see its a good way to eet.

And as further proof of how good we got it, notise that the buckit makes a handy step to git on the window. 

3.  Ants.  A kupple weeks ago we had a squillion ants invade a bowl of stinky goodniss on the flore.  Yoo wooda screemed if yoo saw it.  

We hid in the bedroom wile Daddy did stuff to make them all go ded.   But we haff still seen a kupple.  So until we know the ants are ded ded ded its best to give us our stinky goodniss on the kitchin tabil.  The ants aint found the crunchies in the sleepy room yet. 

4.  Litter bocks.  Wood yoo beeleeve Daddy kleened all three of our bocks the other day?  He threw out all the litter and washed the bocks and put all fresh litter in.  Its a pleshure to poop in them now.  I am shure yoo will find it a pleshure to kleen them. 

5.  Deevoshuns.  I wood be happy to reed deevoshuns with yoo again Grammy.  But as yoo know, Tenny is a heethen cat.  So wile we are havvin our kwiet time of refleckshun, purrayer and deevoshuns Tenny will sakrifise a spicey micey. 

6.  Toona.  Tenny and I will only eet toona at surrtin times of the day.  And all those times end with the word "oh clock".  On this rool we will not neggosheeate! 

7.  New Stinky Goodniss Bowl.  This awesum new bowl wuz Tenny's Gotcha Day prezzint.  It kame from Cat Connection.  If yoo buy it throo my storr I git a bonus and I donate all them munneys to Texas Siamese Reskyoo.  Anyhoo, the bowl is bloo to match the peeple dishis and the yellow dot is the kullur of Tenny's eyes.  Plus its Sweedish kullurs and Mommy is haff Sweedish. 

It mite be Tennys bowl but I like it too.  The bloo glass dish comes off the stand to kleen.  Wellniss Beef and Chickhen is yummy!



8.  Temptayshun Time!!!  Tenny sez this is VARY IMPORTINT.  Evry morning beeforr yoo leeve the house yoo must say "Tenny, its TEMPTAYSHUN TIME!" in a silly happy peeple voyse.  Tenny will skweel and run to the kichin tabil and dance until yoo give her sum Temptayshuns.  Tenny sez haff a bag wood do.  (Mommy sez:  just 5 or 6)  Then yoo give me the other haff of the bag.  Tenny will eet hers reel fast so she can eet mine too.  Sisfurs are like that.



9.  The Temptayshuns Game.  Tenny luvs this game.  Aftur yoo give us the Temptayshuns you take another handful or bag or two and hide them in spots around the house.  The tree, in the tent, in the windows or the Peek A Prize mousehole bocks.  Tenny runs around and tries to find them.  It makes her so mad when I find one she misst! 

Oh look!  Tenny found Temptayshuns in the windowsill!



10.  Shopping List.   On the cold bocks is a list of whut me and Tenny like.  Yoo can git it all at Cat Connection.  Thare is also a fone number to the animal poisun control line.  

 

11.  Yur Room.  I haff bin inspeckting yur room and its all reddy fur yoo.  It will smell like home.  I think my cuzzin Hunter slept heer.  He smells intristing.  Yoo must tell me tales of his advenchures!

12.  Kownters.  Okay, look.  We both know I'm not suppost to be up heer.  But I'm gonna pop up heer now and then to see if sumthing intristing kood be going on.  Daddy yellt at me reel bad today.  I wuz exploreing the many purrpissis of that thing called the "toester".  I wuz trying to put my paw in to see whut it wood do.  Daddy yellt and pickt me up with both hands round my middle part and he held me out in tha air and with skrunched up eyes he lookt at me and sed "ECHO NO!" in a reely loud meen voyce and it skairt me and I ran and I hid and woodint talk to Daddy for a long time. 

Maybe yoo shood keep the toester unpluggt until I figger out whut that musheen is reely for.  Or until its no longer intristing. 

13.  Meddicul supplies.  If Mommy needs a band aid when she comes home, we haff these purpil ones. 

 

Haff a safe airplane flite Grammy.  It will be so fun to see yoo.  Yoo make us all feel safe and loved when yoo is heer. 

Purrs and hedbutts,
Echo and Tenny
