Recent correspondence

[translator's note: Sherlock in motion]

Dear Sherlock,
As a cute orange cat, I can relax with the best of them. I find it is easy to look serene and tranquil. I am a tad bit dismayed that relaxing seems to be your only activity. Are there no pics of you in motion? Are your eyes ever open? I myself prefer buff, expressive cats.
Please tell me you are an active and involved cat.
Sincerely,
Pekoe Louise Stickertongue Pi

Dear Pekoe -
God, you woman cats. Is this how it's going to be, you falling all over me, no interest in philosophy?

You didn't attach a photo.

Buff, expressive cats. I would have thought somebody with a middle name of Louise would be more refined.
Sherlock

Dear Sherlock,
Be patient, I will get my slave to send you a better one, once I make my final selection. She is a little slow on the computer, but expect it today or tomorrow.

I like a well rounded cat, not just an idea cat. I believe that a little physical exercise increases the flow of ideas. Makes the diet cat food taste a little better too.

What are you reading these days? I, myself, am reading up on the Mouseketeers, but I have not got to the good part yet.
Keep in touch, and think about paw touches.
Pekoe

Dear Pekoe,
I do exercise, but my woman uses this cell-cam that is very slow, so all she gets is a blur. She has sworn to upgrade.

I am still reading Archy and Mehitabel. I am not so fond of cockroaches (Archy), but Mehitabel - now there was a cat who knew how to enjoy life! That's where I learned French. Toujours gai was Mehitabel's motto.

Paw touches. Be sure to send me that picture.
Sherlock
