“Dear Cocoa,
I am an outside feline
and very proud of it; however, I wanted to let some of your readers know the
downfalls of being outside: have to hunt
for your food, have to find a dry place in the rain, have to stay warm in the
winter, have to find water when thirsty, have to fight for your place, have to
struggle to get places in the bad weather, and you are often unloved and
hungry. I hope you print this for all
those felines who think being outside is the greatest but aren’t really strong
enough to live through it.
Signed Strong and
Loving it”
“Dear Strong and
Loving it,
I am happy to print
your letter so that my readers are aware of the difficulties of being
outside. Many of them have never had to
fight for their survival and think the outside world is a huge playground with
free food and drink. Thank you for
pointing out the hard parts. Perhaps
those who are not as adventurous will remain content inside (although, since I
know the hearts of all felines--they will still try).
Signed Cocoa”
