Dear Klimpen,

If you could be another breed of cat, what kind would you be?

–Taylor

Dear Taylor,

I would be a tiger. Nobody messes with tigers. I would be ruler over all I saw. And I would be able to roar! Tigers have a very commanding roar. Nobody would ignore me. I’d also hate to lose my stripes. Changing them into a different kind of stripe, however, would be fine by me.

Dear Klimpen,

How many hours do you sleep a day?

–Matilda

Dear Matilda,

As many as I can get away with.

Dear Klimpen,

Do you ever catch Thomas doing anything embarrassing when he thinks you’re not in the room?

–Shannon

Dear Shannon,

All the time! Sometimes he trips over things, other times he bumps into things and mutters words I don’t know the meaning to—it’s all very funny! But usually I have better things to do with my time than spy on Thomas; he usually provides so much entertainment that I don’t really have to spy. He’s a good owner.

Dear Klimpen,

Were you always this fat? Why don’t you get skinny again?

–Luc

Dear Luc,

What IS it with everyone and my weight?! No, I have not always been this chubby, and just to SPITE YOU ALL, I’m going to STAY this way. I like being cuddly. Most cats these days are too bony anyway. Wait, what was that? Did I just hear Thomas say “Klimpen” and “diet” in the same sentence…?
