Some Letters of Felix the Cat to Spot of 2YA

Dear Uncle Jasper,-I wonder if you would accept me for your little friend? I hear you speak to the little boys and girls of Radio Land every Tuesday evening. I know you love liitle boys and girls and doggies. You may not like me, I am a big black pussy. Uncle Jasper, I am jealous--you never speak about pussies-only about dogs. I don’t like dogs; one dog bit my_ tail nearly off once. I don't suppose Spot would bite a pussy’s tail, but I know I should be afraid of him; and, oh, Uncle Jasper, I think Spot is very rude, and he "shows off." Tast Saturday night I sat in our diningroom and listened to Spot talking and "showing off" for the little boys and girls at the hospital, and I heard you ask him to sit up for a biscuit, and when he caught it he crunched it with his tecth, and made me shudder. The other day when you took Spot with Aunt Dot to visit a farm, he did net behave himself; on the journey to the farm, riding in the car, Spot made a great fuss when | the car rounded corners and made believe he was falling off the step--he did it so that you would notice him. r would have sat very still on your knee, | Uncle Jasper. When you reached the farm I heard the great slash made by | Spot when he jumped inte the pond | Usansaee anus 3

I remember, too, the time you decorated h’m with a flower -flowers sent to Aunt Dot, and youfancy a self-respecting dog allowing anyone to place a flower behind his car -like a Tahtti belle-oh, Uncle Jasper! The other day, when you were spcaking, I heard a terrible noise, and it was Spot talking very loudly in the studio, Uncle Jasper, I am smooth and soft, and I am all black. I haven't one nasty spot like some people I know. Could you love me a litle, Unele Jasper? Anyway, one thing I know that Spot does net know, IT understarad French Your loving friend, FELIX. P.S.--I will listen-in every Tuesday until you answer my question. Don’t you love nice, big, black, soft pussies better than rude doggies? I wouldn’t chase rabbits ard I would net interrupt Aunt Dot, either. Dear Unele Jasper,--My tail shakes with rightful wreoth. T can hardly write. I hear that a strange cat (a very ordinary eat, LT helieve), giving his Rame as Felix, is a guest at 2Y.A. Aun* anhaas asesiteas te

Dot’s message over the air leads me to believe that she took this intruder for me. I am tortured with jealousy! I am pure black. I know it is Spot’s fault. I daresay that impos‘er is a friend of his; some cats have no pride. Spot introduced this stranger to Aunt Dot just to annoy me. I[ am still trembling with rage, but must not forget iny manners, So I thank you, dear Unele Jasper for spvaking so nicely to me. That horrid Spot heard you whisper that you Uked big, velvety, black pussies, and he was so cross. Uncle Jasper, Spot was very rude to me, when he spoke that Tuesday night, he simply roared at me. I could never repeat what he said. Oh, how I longed to scratch him, but all I could do was to snarl and hiss at the radio cabinet. Picase thank sweet Aunt Dot for saying good night in cat language; she speaks cat divinely. I love her pretty voice, 3ut she must not take every cat she sees, or hears stories about, for me. Now, please, dear Uncle Jasper, I beg you to ask that strange cat to produce hig passport. _i mix in a very good set, and cannot have ordinary creatures taken for me. I kiss my paw to Aunt Dot-Your exasperated ,

FELIX
