Hi Nate:
So when I left off last night, I was hearing a very odd noise coming from downstairs. From upstairs, it sounded like a muffled exhaust pipe on a car. But that’s crazy, there couldn’t be a car in our house.
Concerned, I turned to your father. “Do you hear that noise?” Continue reading
Hi Nate:
I saw the picture of you with your cabin! Looks like your settling in nicely. Write us and let us know how things are going. (Like that’s going to happen :-P)
You’ll never guess what happened! Dad didn’t snore last night. Let me repeat that: DAD DIDN’T SNORE LAST NIGHT!! I couldn’t believe it. I fell asleep at 11 and woke up at 6, and for the first time since I can remember, your Dad’s snoring didn’t wake me up. I woke up so refreshed and relaxed. It was wonderful. Continue reading
Hi Nate:

The 11th and final letter:
Eli, I’m writing you from sunny Orlando Florida.
Today, I went searching for Sasha. I went to the Enchanted Empire and went on the Buccaneers of Bermuda ride. Boy, everyone was right. I couldn’t tell which cat was Sasha and which were the animatronic cats.
Anyway, the search team was just besides themselves and didn’t know what to do. But I did. Remember I said I had my secret weapon? What is the one thing that Sasha can’t resist? What is the one thing that always brings her to the kitchen the moment I crack open the can? Continue reading
Eli,
You will be relieved to know that I’ve decided to take the matter into my own hands. I’m at the airport right now planning to board a flight for Orlando, Florida. It seems no one can get a hold of Sasha, so I’ve decided to head down with my secret weapon. I bet you thought I forgot about the secret weapon, but I didn’t. I plan on using it as soon as I catch first sight of Sasha. Continue reading
Hi, Eli,
Just a quick note to tell you about the
Dad is calling me to the television, again. I, along with the rest of the nation, have been watching Sasha chase Rickey the Rodent through the Enchanted Empire. around Science World, and in and out of the Zoo Comes To You parks.
Sasha the Rebel Cat: Letter #8
Hi, Eli,
Sasha is still trying to find inner peace in Katmandu, Nepal. I’m not exactly sure what inner peace is for a cat, but maybe that’s why she’s trying to find it. She wrote (did you know she could write) that she has a rigorous meditation schedule. She wrote that her mind often wanders during meditation, mostly to chasing enormous rodents, but she’s trying to remain focused.
If she keeps dreaming of chasing large rodents, I’m not sure how much longer she’s going to last in Katmandu. And I think the Cat Bureau of Investigation is tracking her down.
Oh no. Continue reading
Sasha the Rebel Cat: Letter #7
More news about Sasha the cat for you,
Sasha is now on the CBI’s (The Cat Bureau of Investigation) 10 most wanted list. She is a fugitive from the law, and quite frankly, a bit of an embarrassment to us. I mean, peeing in our family room was one thing, but peeing your way across the United States is quite another. Continue reading
Sasha the Rebel Cat: Letter #6
Hi, Eli,
A lot has happened here since I last wrote to you.
We went to visit Sasha in jail yesterday, only to find that she wasn’t there!! She had escaped!
Apparently, she and her other feline felons had ambushed a guard when he brought them to dinner. Several held the guard at claw-point while the others took his keys and let themselves out of jail. Continue reading
Sasha the Rebel Cat: Letter #5
Remember I told you that there was huge commotion outside of our door last night?
Well, Sasha had returned from the Domestic Cat Conference with some of her new cat friends. Apparently, she had told her friends that we had the nerve to insist that she use her litter box and not our family room. They were incensed (that means mad), and they decided to start a protest directly outside of our house. Continue reading
