Best Cat Ever
by carolynholm
Dear Mommy,
I thought I was your Pretty Girl.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Of course you are!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But you told Poppy she was your Pretty Girl.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Well maybe I was thinking in terms of a lower case pretty girl, instead of an upper case Pretty Girl.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
You can’t fool me with that. I know they’re both the same.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Ok, well you are both my pretty girls.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But you also called her your Prettiest Girl.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Okay. But you’re my Prettiest Cat.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Well that’s good then. But you should be more careful. You call Molly The Best Dog Ever, and she’s really happy to hear that. And then you say the same thing to Poppy and she is totally thrilled. Some day you’ll be in trouble.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You are absolutely right. But it’s to make them feel good.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Molly is deaf as a post so she has no idea what you’re telling Poppy. And Poppy is too clueless to notice what you are doing. You are so lucky to be getting away with this.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You’re right. I’m lucky.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
So am I the Best Cat Ever?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Of course!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy
Aha! Gotcha. What about Puffin?
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Puffin is my Handsome Dude. And the Best Boy Cat Ever.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
He thinks he’s the Best Cat Ever. I should tell him that you’re telling us all the same thing.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Please don’t. He’s so happy this way!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
But I want to be The Best Cat Ever. The only one.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You are! You really are! But that’s a secret between you and me. Don’t tell Puffin. And if you snitch about this then I’ll simplify everything. I’ll demote you. You’ll lose the title completely.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
What Puffin doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
Love, Mia
