in our office building, and the two
baby kittens seem to know that 1
like pets, so they spend most Of their
time with me.
Have so many birds at my home
that / cannot keep a cat, yet liking
pets as L do, it is a real pleasure to
have these little things in the office,
and my, how they, with their
mothers help, will keep the rats
away. They are purring so hard it
almost seems as if they want to send
you a message.
Lovingly,
AUNT'JULIA.
