Dear Friends,

There’s a timeshare situation going on with my luxury accommodations! Cotton has used his impossible-to-resist cuteness and his keen intellect to somehow convince the kind Tabby’s Place staff that he, too, should have luxury accommodations. So, he is now enjoying my luxury accommodations overnight while I remain crated. Nothing has “technically” changed for me. I’ve always been crated overnight to protect the other Lobby cats in case one finds his or her way into my enclosure. But I am keenly aware that this little fluffball is in my space. And Cotton seems pretty pleased with himself.

And then there’s little Rose. Since moving to the Lobby from Suite A, Rose was crated overnight so she can be diaper-free for those hours and to closely monitor her appetite. She, too, must have used her over-the-top adorableness to negotiate a sweet, new living arrangement. From 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Rose runs free in the Lobby in her fancy diapers. During the rest of the day and throughout the night, she gets to run around Suite A diaper-free, where she visits with her former roommates and kitty friends and enjoys the solarium.

So, I’ve been thinking, what do I need to do renegotiate my living quarters? Start being kind to other kitties? Hmmm, nope. I don’t think I’m built that way. After thinking on this for a while, I found the answer! I will dress up like the Handsome Devil that I am, and they will be unable to resist me! A kind human took this picture of me in my Handsome Devil Halloween costume. What do you think?

Though I like to act demanding sometimes, the truth is I don’t want my living quarters to change. I love my [semi]private luxury accommodations and all the time I get to spend outdoors on my stroller rides. As the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday nears, I’d like to express my deep appreciation for all of your love and support, which makes this beautiful life possible for me.

With deep love and gratitude,
Anka
