Hey Mom,
Dad says I’m a liquid cat! He says I can flow over anything!
Winston

Dear Winston,
Sometimes it’s like you don’t have bones.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I can flow right over the edge of Poppy’s bed. And right under the sofa pillows.
Winston

Dear Winston
You spread out flat under the bedspread.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I flow into all the corners of the house!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
And you keep an eye on everything from all those corners.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Every night I watch Puffin while he plays his evening game. He doesn’t like it that I’m watching him.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Is that why you do it?
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Maybe.
Winston

Dear Winston,
He does seem to get annoyed. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
He gets distracted. I mess up his game!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston
You should leave him alone. He doesn’t mess up your games.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I have games too???
Winston

Dear Winston,
Of course you do. You chase the feather wand. And the moth on a wire. And you go after the Red Dot.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
I love the red dot!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
I know you do. And you are the first cat I’ve ever known who keeps an eye on my hand as much as you do the dot. I guess we can say that you are connecting the dots.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
You throw the dot from your hand!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
It’s so interesting that you recognize that. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
I have a very fluid brain.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Because you are a Liquid Cat.
Love, Carolyn
