Short Story Natasia's Note to Grandma by Melissa Minners   I recently went on a short vacation, leaving my cat in the care of my in-laws.  I came home to discover this note on the counter.  Looks like someone has been using my computer again!   Dear Grandma,  Mommy  left me all alone so she could go on a stupid vacation.  She said she would be staying at the Windswept Motel at Point Pleasant Beach. I need food and water!  Who will feed me?!    My food is in the cabinet on the middle shelf  - a blue/green bag of dry food.  Mommy says I can’t have any cans until she gets back.  Otherwise, she says I will throw up hairballs all over the place.  She says not to give me any canned food even if I beg and cry for it.  She’s mean!    I may go on a hunger strike for a day or two, but don’t worry – I’ll eat when I’m hungry. Please empty and fill my water bowl with cold tap water every day.  I’ll be thirsty with all the whining I plan on doing while Mommy is away.  Please clean my litter box once each day, because if it fills up I will rebel and pee on the floor.  Hee hee!    In case I have a real emergency, my new favorite vet is my favorite treats are located on the top shelf.  Feed me lots of them and I'm sure I will recover nicely.
