Deer Santa:

Hi, it's me, Smokey Pletsch-Blacquiere.  (I know you knowed who I was
before I had names, but now that I have them it's nice to use them.)

I just want the same thing I want every year and that is Food.  I don't
remember my early years so well and I remember on Christmas 2001 I
thought Coyotes took my Food.  I sure had no idea what you had
planned--That by Christmas In July in 2002 there would be plans in
motion to get me a Family.

Well my Family is awesome because they have lots of Food.  I get all
the Food I can eat.  Plus there are three other kitties here and they
get all the Food they can eat too.  My Family gots a Couch which is
AWESOME--I didn't even know there was such a thing until I got my
Family.  They gots a Apartment and there is no weather in here and they
give me kitty luv every day. I gots a name--Smokey--and I gots cat toys
and catnip and cat grass and a collar and tag to say I'm an inside boy.
Mom and Dad love me lots.   All I asked for was something to Eat and
you gave me all This.

Thank you Santa for my great Family.  I'm going to live with them
Furrever.

All I can ask for this year is that all the kitties in the world would
be as lucky as I am and have a Family like mine.

Love,

Smokey.

PS.  But if you hafta give me something, please get Nox to go out with
me.
