Dear Mimi,

My daddy has the exact same heater! Except his is about 20 years old and doesn't look quite so nice.

I don't like sitting by it though, because he uses it to heat the garage in winter time, and I'm not too keen on being in the garage with him. My older brudder, Tubby, really loved it in the garage, and everytime I would get really brave and venture out there, he would chase me back in the house. The garage was his territory...and I was glad to let him have it. My new younger brudder, Cracker Jack, has now ventured out there a few times, but he gets bored and prefers to come back in the house to harrass me - brat! Daddy's heater is also quite smelly when he first lights it. Meowmy says it's the kar-o-seen that stinks, but I have no ide-ar what kar-o-seen is so I'm not sure about that one.

You look so comfy and cozy by your heater, although it looks like you have a real purty fireplace there too. Why do they light the heater and not the fireplace? Guess I'll never unnerstand them hoomans. Oh, and meowmy said to tell you that you look just like I do when I've been unjustly roused from a good nap. I hate that when the hoomans do that!

Toastily yours,
Peanut
