Dear Arlo,
I'm glad you enjoyed my last letter. No, I don't know if I will write children's books, because everything in my life isn't G rated. Some stuff I write is okay for kits. And when Lucy and I have kits, we can tell them some bedtime stories, stories about the fun things you and I used to do back in the day. But I have decided to post my letters on Mommy's Blog The Lucy Chronicals. As I said yesterday, Lucy is very well read, and she is interested in everything about cats, and then some.
Well, brofur, I finally got home after 1 am East Coast Time, so 10 pm your time. It was a very long day. Ugh. I saw a pic of me Mommy took last night and I look tired. I had a few naps between getting off the plane and getting home. I was rested up a bit, but still feeling the jet lag. Now I know what they are always talking about. I had some food before we got home, and more at home. Hey, my new Mom is a great cook. Mommy Amy must have shared her recipes, because Mom's food tastes exactly the same. Isn't that great?
She showed me my new apartment. And we unpacked my bag and put my things away. She showed me some of my toys. I explored and climbed my ramps like a good boy, but I was pretty tired. I sharpened my nails on my very own scratching post. While Mom was taking care of things, I hung out with some of my roommates. Here's a pic of me, Garfield just told a hilarious story.
I let Mom give me a bubble bath, fluff me dry in some huge, soft towels. Then she gave me a bedtime snack, and tucked me into a fluffy bed, giving me chin rubs and tummy rubs and told me how much she loves me. How could she love me and she just met me? She's a pretty nice Mommy, so I will love her too.
This morning I showed her how much I love her by letting her ride me around on her shoulders in the house and yard. She said we were going to go see Dr. Libby the Veterinarian, because she likes to see all the handsome new kitties. We went on a car trip. I was not happy about being in a carrier again so soon. I was very feisty and tore my water bowl off the inside of the carrier. She's too smart and did not have any water in there while she was driving. While we were waiting to see the Vet, we waited in the pleasantly landscaped parking area. I had to snuggle up to Mommy and protect her when some hoomans were going in and out of the Vet Hospital with very big dogs. Mom is scared of big dogs. So I had fluff up my ruff and get big. I stood on the car so I was up higher than them. Grrrrrr....

Well we went in to a nice room, just the two of us and some girl vet techs came in and asked Mommy a bunch of questions about me. Mom took my new harness off and they weighed me. I weighed 3.2 lbs. I must have lost a little flying yesterday. I hear that happens to astronauts too. Then one girl held me still, and Arlo - don't tell anybody - the other one put a thermometer in my butt! OMG! The indigence of it all! I was so embarrassed. At least I didn't poop on it. Speaking of poop - hoomans are cra cra. The vet tech asked Mom to bring some of my poop in sometime. She said that I had a perfect tootsie roll poop over night. She had gift wrapped it in a purple leopard print gift bag and gave it to the nice lady at the front desk. See, they're crazy - don't eat tootsie rolls, and be careful if someone gives you a gift bag.
So then Dr. Libby comes in. She is so nice. She said I was the most handsome boy cat she had ever seen. She petted me like a woman who loves cats. Then she touched my privates. She and Mommy were whispering, but I could hear her with my super sonic cat hearing. Mom asked if she was checking my pom poms. Dr. Libby said, she wouldn't call them pom poms. They are in the right place, but they're still small, or should she say under developed, but I guess that isn't better. "Hello Doctor! Your tech just put a foreign object in me! My boys just jumped back up inside my body, give them time to come out. I'll show you who's a little man." "Arlo, don't let them take your temperature."
She also said my tummy sounded a little gassy. Mommy said she thought I had farted. I know you are laughing your big head off. Seriously?! Have you ladies never flown? I flew all the way across the US! The change in air pressure is gonna do that to you. C'mon! Besides, I'm a boy, it's what we do.
Well my bro, it's only day 2 of 21 that I have to be in quarantine away from my girl Lucy. It's also day 2 of rain. Hope we don't have 19 more days of rain. I will be needing an ark. I think I will write Lucy some love notes and slide them under the door to her. You know she's an older woman. I'm gonna catch up in size to her quickly though. But she might be able to unlatch my door. What do you think?
