Hey Mom,
Puffin was making a funny meow because Louie was looking in the patio window!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I heard that too! It sounded odd, so I came into the living room and there they were – Puffin and Louie, eyeball to eyeball through the patio window!
Love, Carolyn

Mom!!!
It was so EXCITING!!!!!!! Louie is the coolest cat in the neighborhood!
Winston

Dear Winston,
That Louie is quite a character. I think he comes to visit the catmint plant I have on the patio.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Louie isn’t just coming for the catmint, he likes to freak us all out!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I have to say, he does a good job of that.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
He’s a big bully!!! So, I stepped up!!!!!! I yelled and pounded on the glass at him!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
You sure did. We were all startled!
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
He stood up on his haunches and pounded the glass at me!!!!!! We were having a big fight!!!! I was fighting with the Cool Yellow Dude!!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
It was a sight to see! And hear.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
That ole yellow cat thinks he’s cool because he’s an outdoor cat. I want to be a cool outdoor cat!
Winston

Dear Winston,
No you don’t.  You boys are safe indoors. You are cool indoor cats. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Puffin says it’s EXCITING outside! He got out yesterday!!!!!!!
Winston,

Dear Winston,
That was a bit too exciting. I guess the door was not firmly closed, so he pushed it open. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
He got wet!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I had to turn the hose on him to get him to run back into the house.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Puffin didn’t look like a very cool cat when you did that. But no one is as cool as Louie.
Winston

Dear Winston,
When we get you used to your stylish harness, and started with a leash, you can be a cool outdoor cat like Louie.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Louie would be cool even if he were an indoor cat. 
Winston
