Dear Mr. Boots (my cat),

It has came to my attention that this last month or so, you keep waking me up on Monday mornings, very early. I realize through the week I work nights, so you may be confused (maybe?). You didn't use to do this, and I wish you could speak to say what's up. I check the usual, foods, water and box, and all is fine. I always get up, so s/o can sleep because you hop on both of us and he's changed to days and it isn't ideal for him to get up at 2am or so.
I know it's been a bit stressful lately, but something needs to be figured out here. I, myself don't want to work nights anymore, so eventually I won't be able to get up like this with you.
I think the annoying thing to me is after I get up, you take a cat nap
Oh well, sometimes I do get done the Week's grocery shopping when you do this, and,I do get usually the 'proper' sleep on mondays instead of staying up 24+ hours.

Please know I am not mad at you, just confused; and know something needs to change. Though I realize a lot has changed recently.
A, part of me thinks you're not use to us going to bed early on Sunday nights, but even then this hoping around is something new in the morning. You used to just do it in the evenings, when I had slept too long.

Come to think about it, you've started to do this in the afternoon some times too. Around the time s/o used to get up.
I feel bad because you probably don't understand the concept of schedule changes, and are probably confused.
I wish I could explain in a way you could understand.

I think maybe you need more exercise, and maybe that will help?, so this week I'll try to play more. See if that helps I know you've been getting lots of pettings but maybe you need more than that.

I know s/o used to play more but has been stressed, and I'm sorry if you're getting the butt end of us right now and if you're confused.

We do love you dearly, and you're a wonderful cat and you've helped me much in the time you've been with us.
I've always had a cat when I was little, they were all wonderful friends for me when in those times of needs..., and when Beau ran away/Got lost, it was heart breaking for me; it took a lot with allowing the chance to be hurt when getting you, for me; because I get attached dearly to animals, and just had a lot of pain with the loss. But I took a chance, rescued you from the shelter. I remember I saw your profile and they had labeled you feral and thought it wasnt fair they labeled you that. Then I met you, and you were a kitten. I always think you could had been sold with the 'regular' kittens.

You are more than 'just a cat', you're a member of my family.

I want you to be happy too.

Honestly me and you playing will probably do us both good.

in hopes we figure out something soon

Hugs and pettings and scratches and tuna,

with much love,
Beauflow
