Dear Friends,

I had my first Valentine’s Day at Tabby’s Place, and it was filled with more love than I could ever imagine. With everyone showering even MORE attention on us kitties than usual, I wore my best begging-for-food face and tried to steal people’s lunches each time they looked away. I managed to score some yogurt on my face, but not in my mouth. I need to practice my moves and get better at stealing human food. I’m determined and confident in my ability to improve.

Winky and I have self-selected ourselves as the official Greeting Committee for the Lounge. We are both handsome and sweet, and humans can’t seem to resist us. I love to be the first to greet people at the door. I try to convince everyone that I haven’t eaten and that they must feed me immediately or I will shrivel and die! It hasn’t worked yet, but I’m hopeful there’s someone out there that will fall for it. I’m told I am charmingly optimistic.

Whenever I’m cuddled or fussed over, there’s a sweet, little singsong that weaves around my loud, engine-roaring purr. If you come to visit me, I promise to sing my song for you. Whether or not you are able to visit, please know that I am always thinking of you and all you do for me. I’m deeply grateful for your friendship and support.

Much love,
Taylor Ham
