I had a request to post the emails that my cat sent me while I was in Europe. (My grandmother helped her type since it's hard with furry paws and no opposable thumbs!) For a cat, she spells pretty well 
And if you wonder why it says "squeaow" instead of "meow", it's because Ella doesn't?/can't?/won't? meow. She has a little squeak that kind of ends in a mew...

Subject: Squeow! My first EMail
MeeMaw might have to help me. My spellings not two good and I can't punkiate - I'll just use dashes - I'm doing good but I miss u - We enjoy u're blog but you haven't said if you miss me - Big story - I got out on the front deck – MeeMaw picked me up right away - fell and dropped me - scared me and I ran to the front door with my tail up and said "squeaow let's go in" I'm ok with staying here - still eat, drink and sleep a lot - MeeMaw thinks I drink a lot of water but I need it so I can dijest that dry food - PaPaw says I get more like Garfield every day - I still rockey with MeeMaw - I have some more places I like to park myself - The 2 black stools - I sit on one to take my bath and sit on PaPaw's and he rubs me with his foot - The only TV program I watch with him is turnment poker - I watch the chips move around - then I lay in the black chair in the back - it has a hollow spot in the seat that I fit in and then I like that black kitchen stool. I
kinda disappear into these cause I'm kinda dark – Unkles Mike and Pat are having 20th anniversaries this month - Unkle Mike and Aunt Kerrie went to San Antonio for a couple of days and Unkle Pat and Kim are going to the Carrybean for maybe 4 days. Unkle Mike is staying a couple of nights here this week - he has a week of training at DPS. Unkle Mike and Aunt Kerrie don't really like cats but I believe they like me a little. I got in the chair with Aunt Kerrie and she rockyed me - That Perry could have taken me to see you - guess that would be very stooopid - Oh well – guess he is an ok Tom cat as Tom cats go - I luv him anyway.
Will be in touch another time - Much luv from me MeeMaw and PeePaw

We're all doing good - PaPaw thinks I've been looking for you and I guess I have - MeeMaw tells me it will be about another week. I guess you and that Tom Cat Perry had a good time. I wouldn't mind seeing him either. Unkle Mike stayed 2 nights this week here too - I still think
he kinda likes me - Unkel Pat and Kim had a good time in the Carrybean - they have picked out a plan for a house and hope to have it built by Christmas. I been kind restless today - PaPaw said I probably was looking for Unkel Mike to come back too. It's time for MeeMaw's cereal and then to put her pjs on so we gotta go now. Maybe I might send one more EMail .
Me, PaPaw and MeeMaw love you a lot.

This will be my last EMail to you while you are in
I don't rockey as much as I did with MeeMaw. My favorite thing now is to sit on PaPaw's stool and he always talks to me, rubs me - he's always there and I like that. Than too, as I said - I clean myself while I'm there - mostly my feet. Come night time I always go to MeeMaw's room - what was yours when you were here and MeeMaw calls it the grandkids room. My new thing is cuddling with MeeMaw for a few minutes at bedtime, however I have been stretching it this week - I accidently go to sleep and stay there longer - I always go to my spot on the towel at the bottom corner of the bed to finish out the night - I do roam. I also found another spot I like MeeMaw's desk chair - just my size. Well, I could squeaow more but MeeMaw is ready to eat some of the cookies Joyce brought and drink a glass of milk. mmmmm good I hope MeeMaw gets smart and uses that recipe for Joyces's muffins before you come home.
Love from us three - see you soon - Squeaow, Squeaow and SQUEAOW.
