Thanks for remembering me in last week's group purring session. I'm feeling
a whole lot better than I was. When mommy picks me up to pet me there are
fewer scabs on my skin. It's almost all cleared up and smoothe again now.
Mommy put some nasty medicine on the back of my neck, too, so I'm sure that
also helped.

Last week I spent two days in the garden hunting mice and grasshoppers. The
weeds are so tall in one part that I even got lost. Mommy found me but what
she didn't know is that I didn't find very much food on that hunting spree.
She figured it out later.... I've hardly left the food bowl for the last
three days.

Now that I'm not burning so many calories and scratching and licking myself,
I have more time for eating, and I'm gaining weight. My fur is growing back
nice and thick too. It's already getting chilly enough at night that my
shorthair playmates are sleeping in mommy's bed instead of running around
all night. I'm even letting Abelard stay right next to her head on the
pillow where I usually sleep. The longhair babies stay in front of an open
window at night. BRRRRRRR!!

P.S. Mommy and me and my friends are purring for the ones who hurt.
