Dear Groucho,

I think meowmie gets that I'm not complaining to her. When she comes home, she pets me and says that she is happy to be home with me. Then I sit next to her on the sofa and she gives me head skritchies, which I really like. Then she feeds me and while I eat she washes my water dish, gives me fresh water and scoops my litter pan. I don't like the big water fountain in the bathroom but I stay right outside the door the whole time she is fixing her hair, brushing her teeth, putting on make-up. When she says "Okay, kitty, scuse please," I know to move.

Auntie lvpets2002 talked about PTO; is that what "sick of work time" is? Meowmie doesn't have any of that yet. She will get it starting the first of October. I know she is very worried about being bizzy and that almost a third of the team is new and still learning. She said her boss is happy with her though. She likes her co-workers, not as many pet parents as the last job but still nice people.

She keeps telling me she has an extra day to spend with me on Labor Day. I am looking forward to that. She will spend one day at my grandma and grandpa's house, and two days at home with meeeeeee! Pinot, she doesn't go on vakashun because she has me. There might be a vakashun in 2011 but she isn't sure yet. For 2010 there may be an overnight when she goes to visit my nieces at college, but I am okay with that.

Thank you for all the ideas and suggestions. Please send me your bill and please have your meowmie and Soncat give you some hugs, snuggles and loves from my meowmie and me!

Purrs,
cassie
