Carolyn Holm

Dear Mia,
Thank heavens I found you and Poppy with the Valentine box before it was too late!
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
You were very abrupt. That was rude.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
It wasn’t rude. There are chocolates in that box. I took it away from the two of you to save you from eating some. That would have made you a very sick cat.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
You can’t fool me. Humans eat chocolate all the time.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Well not all the time. Though we do like to indulge. But it’s not for cats.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
What about Poppy?
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Oh definitely not for dogs either.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
Humans make such a big deal about chocolate. And hearts. And heart boxes.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
Heart boxes are one of the ways we say “you’re the best human ever” to someone we love. They are nice little gifts.
Love, Carolyn

Dear Mommy,
All boxes are nice little gifts. Cats know all there is to know about boxes. The very best are the ones we can crawl into. This one is too small for that, but I have to say it was particularly exciting to pry it open and rustle through the candy papers. Pretending there is prey inside.
Love, Mia

Dear Mia,
I’ll have to give that a try.
Love, Carolyn
