Mom,
WHO IS IN THE BATHROOM??????????!!!!!!!!!!
Winston

Dear Winston,
We’re adding to the pack!
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
??????????
Winston

Dear Winston,
We’ve adopted two kittens!
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Why????????
Winston

Dear Winston,
Now that Puffin is gone, we have an opening for a cat. Or two. Think of it – you’ll have friends to do zoomies with!
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
So just like that, you bring in a couple of strange cats?
Winston

Dear Winston,
Kittens. And they won’t be strange for long. They will be part of our Pack!
Love, Carolyn 

Hey Mom,
Those two sure make a lot of noise in the bathroom.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Like they are moving furniture! That’s the scratching post they are pushing around.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Their feet are making a lot of running noises.
Winston,

Dear Winston,
I don’t know how two small animals with soft little paws can pound the floor so loudly. You’d think they were scampering around in boots.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Poppy and I want to know when are we going to meet them.
Winston

Dear Winston,
Soon. I’ve been keeping them isolated for a several days so they can get used to their new situation. The brother is a real party guy, but his sister is quite shy. She needs more time than he does. 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
They don’t sound shy.
Winston

Dear Winston,
They’re having a good time in there. But I wish they would stop playing in the litterbox. They are getting litter all over the floor.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
They are banging dishes around too.
Winston

Dear Winston,
I think that’s when they crash into their food dishes. And I wish they would stop playing in the water bowl. I have to clean up the swamp every time I go in there. 
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
They go all quiet when you go in.
Winston

Dear Winston,
You’re right! When I open the door, they freeze and stare at me.
Love, Carolyn

Hey Mom,
Poppy has been going on and on with her Cat Voice outside the door.
Winston

Dear Winston,
She is dying to meet them and lick them, but she needs to dial it down a bit. I’ve had to keep her away from that door, so she won’t alarm those kids with her singing! 
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
Are they going to eat my food?
Winston

Dear Winston,
No sweetie, your food is in your Chip Feeder. It won’t open for anyone else.
Love, Carolyn

Mom,
They’ll probably break it, like Puffin did.
Winston

Dear Winston,
We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Love, Carolyn
