Dear Janit,
A mutual acquaintance has brought to my attention a website, advertising Valentines Day cards both for and from pets.
Now I’m sure you’ll agree this is absurd. First and foremost, as a cat you lack the necessary motor skills and financial backing to make the purchase yourself, so I can only assume the responsibility would fall on me. Which brings me to my second point; if I bought (and signed) a card from my only pet to myself, it would not take the deductive powers of great detectives to discern who the card was from.
Furthermore, I refuse to have the validity and nature of our relationship marred through enforced consumerism.
That being said, you may notice that your cat biscuits are arranged in a heart shape this morning, as a cursory nod to the occasion. There also appears to be a handmade card addressed to you by your basket in the living room, but I can’t think who would have put it there.
All the best.
Crispin
