Dear Cat,

we are so so sorry you got into a fight and got bit (again). We know you are suffering and are attempting to redeem the situation with tidbits, gentle speech and fluffy blankets left around on floor level. We no longer think you are about to die, just because you do, but we will endeavour to treat you with utmost sympathy and tenderness until you feel up to ruling the world again tomorrow.
