A message for my three suitors.

Dear Hobbes, Dusty, & Shmogg,

Boys, boys... what can I say? I'm overwhelmed by all the attention. As you know I am a quiet, shy ladycat, so the recent events have made me feel that I want to hide under the bed.

Don't misunderstand me boys, I understand that all three of you are totally and irrevocably in love with me. After all, I am beautiful, sweet, lovable, adorable, charming, and delightful - a true LadyCat. Unfortunately, at this time I am not interested in pursuing a long-distance cyber-relationship with any one of you charming pussycats. You see, several years ago the ginger tomcat who lives next door (Marmalade) frightened me, and since then I have no desire to be wooed by a male kitty, even charming ones such as your-gentle-selves.

Rest assured however, that I will be pleased to nurture our current friendship and continue to exchange correspondence as we have done in the past.

Best of luck to each of you in your future romantic pursuits.

Yours faithfully,
Miss Juliet.
