Wild Crush
by carolynholm
Dear Mia,
What are you doing with that map?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
I’m looking at LA! I have a relative in Hollywood!!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You do? That’s exciting. Do you mean Hollywood like in the movies? Or Hollywood, a place where actual folks live?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Both! He’s a celebrity, so the movie deal is probably already being pitched. And he likes to hang out in the actual Hollywood.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
And this celebrity is a relative?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
A distant relative.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Have I met this cat?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
You haven’t, but I know you want to! He’s P22!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Oh. Okay. Well, distant is the operative word here. P22 is a mountain lion.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes, and he’s extremely famous!!!!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
He is indeed. He’s not exactly in Hollywood, though. He lives in Griffith Park.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Well, he lives in the park but he hangs out in Hollywood. He visited some people and sat in their basement while they freaked out. Then he went back to Griffith Park. So Hollywood is apparently one of his favorite hangout places.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
Actually Los Feliz, but close enough.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
His name is very unusual. I think the “P” stands for powerful.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
No honey, the “P” stands for Puma. Though I’m sure he’s very powerful.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
He’s not only powerful, he’s hot!
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
He is a handsome guy. You might say he’s the George Clooney of the cat world.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
He’s really hot, and he’s single. I want to go visit him.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
You’re not seriously thinking of hooking up with a mountain lion are you?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mommy,
Yes, of course! It would be so exciting! He’ll think I’m exotic. I’m very wild looking.
Love, Mia
Dear Mia,
He’ll think you are lunch, honey.
Love, Carolyn
