“Dear Cocoa,
I don’t have a problem
with my pets, they are great! But I was
wondering about something and I hoped that you might have an answer for
me. You see I have many outside friends
who come to visit me at the window. They
talk about happiness and how they are soooo happy outside and how I must be
wishing I was out there with them. I
like it where I am. Should I want to go
outside? Is that what happiness is all
about? I am quite confused by all of
this. Please help.
Signed Wondering about
Happiness”
“Dear Wondering about
Happiness,
Your friends are
trying to confuse you. Happiness is not outside. Happiness is a full belly, a warm bed, and a
lot of sleep. They don’t have that while
outside and they are jealous of you. Then
next time they talk to you of the outside and happiness in the same sentence,
look at them like they have three heads and race off (well as off as you can
get anyway). Oh, and one more
thing-outside can have terrible mental affects on a feline. Don’t go out unless you have to and don’t
want out ever (unless you want to, that is, to make your pets work harder for you). PS: See what I mean?
Signed Cocoa”
