Greetings, Tripod readers! ME-OOOW!

I'm Trixie Tripawed, the Tripod cat. ME-OOOW! If you don't mind, I'm going to write this letter lying down in my favorite place, Margaret's chair. She spends too much time in front of the computer instead of playing with me anyhow. On second thought, maybe I'll just dictate the letter while I let her rub my tummy. PURRRR...PURRRR...Oh yeah!

So my life is pretty good right now (a little to the side, Mags...perfect...PURRR...PURRR...). It seems like only yesterday that I was languishing in an animal shelter in Vermont. ME-OOOW! Now, I'm Cyber-cat, an electronic celebrity and the pride of my litter. PURRR...PURRR...

Speaking of litter, the people here at Tripod weren't too happy with me for a while. Apparently, I wasn't covering my kitty doo-doo in my litter box as well as I could have. Big deal. I mean these people are really slaves to convention. Anyway, it was fun for a while to make Margaret and Bruce, my adoptive parents, cover my poops for me...and after all, it was just a clever feline ruse. ME-OOOW! You see, the folks here at Tripod are nice and all, but they don't know the first thing about kitty litter. Now that they've switched to the brand I prefer, I've started to cooperate and cover up my after-dinner mints just fine. PURRR...

Sometimes I get a bit lonely around here. I mean, Tripod is a start-up, you know. So I certainly don't get as much attention as I deserve with all these people working around the clock. Luckily, Christina sometimes brings in her kitten, Fox. He's a couple weeks younger than me, so he's pretty easy to beat up. Of course, he always comes back for more. Men! ME-OOOW!

Another one of my favorite gags is dashing outside whenever someone leaves a door open and watching all of the Tripod staff run around like idiots trying to catch me. ME-OOOW! As if I don't know to look both ways before crossing Water Street! PURR...If they don't start letting me out more often, I'll have to log onto Nate's computer and sabotage the Toybox. By the way, I think the company is grossly neglecting the growing feline internet market. ME-OOOW!

Well, that's all for now. If you have any tips on how to train my Tripod humans a bit better, drop me a line. ME-OOOW! Now, if you don't mind, I need some time to myself. All of this writing makes me feel like bathing....lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick, lick...
