Hi Mom,

Mom, it was hard to leave you and my brothers and move to my new home. I will miss all of you.

Wait until you hear about the cat living here that New Mom calls Miss Kitty. I think she might be the cat from hell. New Mom said, “Miss Kitty is a calico.” I didn’t know there were any cats other than Bengals. I wonder where calicos come from.

The first day here after they opened the cat carrier and searched the house for other animals besides Miss Kitty, but I did not find any, so I started to relax. I walked over to Miss Kitty’s food dish in the kitchen and ate lunch. Then I had a drink of water from a container with a plant in it.

I walked back into the living room and sat by the grandfather clock. I glanced to my left and saw …show more content…

If I am sick one day, I do not want to hear one sound from you all day. Again, it is an order. You do not have any questions, do you? Good. If you obey these few instructions, that a mentally impaired grasshopper could easily follow, we will get along fine.”

I tried to be friendly and start a conversation with Miss Kitty. I said to her, “Is the picture on the wall of the man with the beard New Mom’s granddad?” Miss Kitty snarled, “That is Abraham Lincoln, you jackass!”

Later in the day, Miss Kitty came around and acted as if nothing happened when we first met. She asked, “What kind of cat are you? You are so different from any I have seen.

I said, “Miss Kitty, I’m a Bengal, and Bengals are the only cats that have glitter. My Mom told me an Asian Leopard and an Abyssinian fall in love and send an order to heaven and the stork brings baby Bengals.”

Miss Kitty said, “Your mother told you a lot of bull, never mind. She told you fairy tales, didn’t she, …show more content…

Let me be clear, Mr. Bengal, it is none of your business.”

, Mom, I tried to be nice, and figured if I told her about the Bengals’ fur she’d be interested, and maybe we could start talking and learn to get along.

She turned and strutted across the living room floor with her prissy little nose stuck up in the air. She acts as if she is God’s gift to the cat world. I wonder if all calicos are as mean as Miss Kitty is.

New Mom has a million plants in the house. I heard her tell a neighbor she removed the poison ones before I moved in. I like to chew on the leaves and some are good to eat. I noticed the bite marks on the leaves and I do have a slight overbite.

New Mom bought me about seven new toys, and I keep them in a toy box in the living room. The box has a picture of Simba, Miss Kitty, and me on it. I’ll tell you about Simba in another letter. He was their first Bengal.

My favorite toy is the mouse I brought from Punta Gorda. I love to carry the mouse by the tail all through the house, but I worry if I leave him in a room Miss Kitty will find him and take
