Dear Socks,
I have a cat named Harry and I play with Harry all the time. I showed Harry a picture of you but he didn't say anything.
Your friend, Randy B., age 10, Baltimore

Dear Socks,
I would like to give you a big kiss and hug even if you are a Democrat. My father doesn't know I wrote this letter.
Love, Lisa, age 8

Total time a cat spends getting into trouble during its life: 14'968,26 hours = 623,68 days = 1,71 years.

Weiss nicht mehr, woher ich's habe. Ist einfach da, war immer da, stecke nie einen Brief hinein, schick' ich nie ab, jedenfalls bisher nicht. Zu schön. Verlustängste.

Wissend, wem ich gefalle, weiss ich, was ich wert.
