Smokey and Sunshine Have Fan Mail

💌 Smokey and Sunshine Have Fan Mail

Thank you to everyone who wrote after our latest Smokey and Sunshine newsletter. We loved reading your notes. You noticed the jokes, the pictures, the sprinkler watering the driveway, and what one reader called our "barely-disguised absolute truths."
You also noticed the missing donuts. We'll get to that.

We have a lot of fun putting these newsletters together, and it means a lot to hear that you enjoy them.
We shared your compliments with Smokey and Sunshine.

🍩 A Matter of Intelligence

One reader described the newsletter as creative, humorous, and intelligent:
✍️ "Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your newsletter. Very creative, humorous and intelligent all at the same time. Thank you!"
Naturally, the cats had to discuss how to divide the credit:
Sunshine: A reader called us creative, humorous, and intelligent!
Smokey: A reader with excellent judgment.
Sunshine: Should we ask which one of us is intelligent?
Smokey: Must we fact-check every compliment?

🍩 Breakfast Under Inspection

Another reader spotted something missing from Sunshine's dance scene: his usual coffee and donuts. That reader happened to be a compliance inspector. Of all the mornings to forget breakfast.
Smokey: A compliance inspector noticed your missing coffee and donuts.
Sunshine: Are we in trouble? I just got carried away dancing!
Smokey: Apparently, your breakfast is now subject to inspection.
Sunshine: Finally, someone who takes it seriously!

🍩 For Future Reflection

One lovely note suggested saving these episodes so we could enjoy them with friends and family later. The reader used the word "gloat." Smokey preferred a more scholarly description.
Sunshine: A reader says we should save our columns so we can gloat later!
Smokey: An archive, Sunshine. For future reflection.
Sunshine: Is that different from gloating?
Smokey: Yes. You need glasses and a better chair.

A lot of work goes into these little episodes, and your messages make us glad we put in the time. It's especially lovely to hear that you've come to know the cats well enough to notice when Sunshine misses breakfast.

Thank you for reading, writing back, and keeping an eye on the donuts!
