Dear Stash,

Many thanks for your note and all the wonderful gifts. Our mummy was apparently brought to tears at work when she opened it - but we wouldn't know. We were at home lounging in the sun.

The portrait of us is spot-on. We knew we were gorgeous, but now we can gaze upon our beauteous faces without being scared of the mirror. Plus, mummy and daddy are always taking our pictures so maybe this will stop them for awhile.

The toys are an absolute delight! As you can see in the video we directed mummy to make, the robotic bug was confusing at first - but has quickly become a favorite past time.

One of us (Edie) has taken to making mummy throw the feathery mouse for fetch while the other (Diego) guards the sparkly balls carefully.

It's not a red-letter day today so we refused to let mummy put the bows on us despite her best efforts. She is only allowed special occasions to make us look silly, which we will tolerate for about 10 minutes.

Mummy also was seen to put that little wooden thing in her bag. I, Diego, tried to chew it but it was not to my palate.

We cherish the thought of another feline friend so far away and hope that your humans spoil you for all the joy you have allowed them to send to us here in Hong Kong.

All the headbutts and chin rubs to you,

Diego & Edie
