"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I know it’s probably weird to write a letter to a cat. But you just left us and I have so much I still wanted to say. The most important one being, why didn’t you listen to me? I told you not to chase the bird but you did it anyway. But I don’t blame you, you’re a kitten and kittens generally don’t do what they’re told. I wish you hadn’t left us on my birthday, we were going to eat cake with your Uncle Sherbet which has been our tradition we were going to start sharing with you, but now you’ll never get the chance. Sherbet and Tabitha have been moping about and sleeping in my room. They can tell I’m mourning, Sherbet stared at a picture of you for a few hours yesterday, god it’s only been two days… I miss you so much Little One.
