Dear Zella, How do you say Privacy Please in cat scratches?

Dear Zella,

AARRGGGHHH!! Zedd does not know the meaning of privacy!  You know that he follows me around  like a lost puppy ALL THE TIME, right?  Oh but there's more.  He watches me when I sleep, he watches me when I drink, he watches me when I eat.  And OMG, he even watches me when I use the litter box!!!  I told him, "Get out of my face or I swear you will have two nipped ear tips!" I showed him the claws and that got him scampering out of the bathroom. A girl needs her privacy when doing her business, you know what I mean?

I bet you are lucky to have no one as obnoxious as this boy, who keeps on rubbing up against me.  I've learned from you and make sure I give him a good smack and hiss and growl when he gets too up-close and personal with me.  

I hope you're having lots of fun wherever you are. But please don't forget me, because I won't forget you.

Love,

Jolie

Dear Zella, Here’s my un-toofy smiles

Dear Zella,

They pulled out my toofers!

I’ve been quiet about it for a while now. I figured, the pain will go away.  Sometimes it doesn’t bother me that much.  You know, like you? You pretended that everything was ok, even though I could smell the sick on you.  You were good at hiding it because Mom and Dad never knew how sick you were.  I tried to hide it too but Mom caught me!  It was food time, and I was trying to eat fast because I know Zedd’s going to try to eat my food if I look away, but then some of the wet food got stuck on the bad tooth and it hurt so bad that I cried.  Mom and Dad heard it and brought me to the cat hospital.  I tried to tell them I was okay.  The cat hospital smelled like Mom and Dad when they came home after that time when you left.  Are you at the cat hospital? Is that where you’re sleeping now? That place is scary! I don’t like the smells there at all!

Here’s a picture of me when I had both my toofers and now that I don’t have them.  I hope you see this, maybe you’ll come back because you miss me too. 

Love,

Jolie

Dear Zella, play time is getting interesting again.

Dear Zella,

I guess the boy is ok.  I play with him like how you and I play. I will creep up and jump on him, which scares him and it's funny. Then I run away and he'll chase me, and when he catches up, I swipe and hiss at him, just like you did to me! He'll look confused, but I tell him, that's the way to play, and that I should always win.  He's looking at me again, I think he wants to play again.  I'll just pretend I don't see him.  

How is it there where you are? I hope they give you lots of kibble and tuna, and no one tries to EAT ALL YOUR FOOD!  Yeah, I'm looking at Zedd because he eats all the kibbles!

Love,

Jolie

Dear Zella, The Boy Stinks!

Dear Zella, 

Mom and Dad are calling him Zedd.  What kind of a name is Zedd, right? I don't like him.  He keeps on following me around, he plays with my favorite toys, he sleeps in my spots too!  I've been guarding your spot on the couch.  Your blanket is still there and I promise he won't be laying on it. 

He eats my food too.  Mom puts down his own bowl, but he prefers to eat out of mine!  I don't like eating his food because it smells weird. I try to tell mom  and dad but they won't do anything.   Today Zedd climbed into my house.  I was glad dad kicked him out! Okay, dad didn't kick him but he finally left my house after some talking to.

I don't know what to do. I wish you were here. 

p.s.

His poop stinks so badly, probably why he tries to bury it so much that he rips the liner of the litter box. 

Dear Zella, Boys are so weird

Dear Zella,

So mom and dad took the boy away, then came back and he had a bloody nose! I wonder if he was a bad boy and fought with other cats? We never fought, did we? Well I wanted to play hide and go pounce on the deaf kitty (that’s you) but you never liked that game. I deserved the times you smacked me, that’s ok. :)

He’s so weird.  When mom gave him his food, he was like, “Oh food! Yay! Nom nom.. ouch.. ugh.. Oh kibble! Nom nom.. ouch.. demmit! Oh wet food! Nom nom ..ouch... cough..” And he kept doing it over and over!  I think it hurt for him to swallow but he was so hungry and couldn’t make up his mind which foods to eat. 

I get to see him more. I want to go in his room but mom and dad keep shooing me away.  I’m just going to watch for now.

I miss you Zella!

Love,

Jolie

Dear Zella, Boy Invasion! So Help Me Bastet!

Dear Zella,

There’s a BOY IN THE OTHER BEDROOM!!!

First, I was like, what is that smell? I thought it was you but it was different.  I was able to see him for a little bit.  Mom and Dad kept the door open but he just stared at me!  I didn’t like it one bit. *hiss*

I think he stinks.  He looks like he has a cold too.  I’ll make sure he doesn’t take your sleeping spot.  I’ll guard it until you come back.

Love,

Jolie

Dear Zella, I did zoomies this morning!

Dear Zella,

This morning I used the litter box and did a zoomie afterwards! I wish you could have seen it! I tried to run as fast and crazy like you do.  But I still can’t figure out how you do yours. You know, like, fast running in place and slamming into the trash can?  Maybe I’ll keep practicing.  It made mom and dad laugh.  I like it when they laugh. They haven’t given me greenies yet, so maybe my zoomies were not perfect like yours.  Anyhoo, I will ask mom. She can be easily convinced hehehe.

I miss you Zella.  When you come back, we can do the zoomies together, I’ll be great at it like you are.

Love,

Jolie
