The Cat's Meow: Catman Responds to Your Catmail

We're quite excited to have received our first Catmail. Here at Groodbud & Groodbud, we cherish your support and take your input seriously. That's why we've decided to include a new section on YDG: The Cat's Meow. Each week, one lucky Catfan will have their Catmail read and responded to by the Catman, himself. Our first Catmail comes Big-A in Austin, TX. Big-A writes:

Catman,

I heard that Catman has recently acquired a basil plant in his apartment. This would be good for the Catman so he doesn’t get lonely and so more of the CO2 in his apartment is seeped up and replaced with oxygen. However, I’m concerned as cats are notoriously bad at taking care of plants. Can Catman provide a plant update?

Dear Big-A,

You heard correctly. I have been given a basil plant, aptly named Basil. He lives in a paper cup and is only a baby. We have developed an unlikely bond over the past week -- a bond that shall continue to grow stronger. As I weep before bed, I make sure to collect my tears so that he may have a drink. We sit on the couch in silence, because we do not need words to express our love. Each night, I stroke his leaves softly, singing a collection of his favorite showtunes while I prepare his glass of warm Yoo-Hoo. We are doing quite well together. Quite well, indeed.

I hope this answers your question. You keep sending them, we'll keep reading them.
