August 11, 2004 | By Adam Roberts | 2 CommentsDear Amateur Gourmet Readers,
Lolita the cat here. Please, I beg of you, contact PETA and relay to them the following.
1. Last week, without any prior notice, my master–your Gourmet–suddenly removed all of my beloved furniture, including the bed I’ve slept on and under so many times, without any reason and/or explanation. I was left without a bed and without a blanket to scratch and chew.

Sincerely,
Lolita

Your cat is gorgeous! I hope she settles in.
Whoho! Nice view as well. Though possibly a bit boring for Lolita.
