Dear <:firstname:>,

Marc is finally home. Thank God! I can start returning things back to normal at long last.

The past month was rough. First, we had three different servents, only one of whom we knew well, Aunt Nancy. And one of them smelled like OTHER cats--the audacity!

To make matters worse, Marc was only here for less than a day last week. That was enough to send Tiziano into a hissy fit and make him think he could depose me as the head of the household.

Finally, Marc came home to stay last night. That instilled a nice sense of peace. There just two or three fights last night. By this morning, I think Tiziano knew how things were so I let him sleep next his daddy. As long as he knew I got the best spot lying on Marc's legs.

Now, we're all feeling pretty good about things. I was even able to talk Tiziano into typing up the newsletter for me while I dictated, as usual. It's a good start at least.

"*gushes unabashedly* Oh my gosh - I don't even know where to start! It's great!! :-) The lyrics are witty and wonderful, the arrangements are well-balanced, and the whole thing is just loads of fun! Thank you for another great CD! I have a few friends who simply MUST hear this! ;-) (My cat is giving me strange looks for squee-ing...)"

HAVE A LOCAL CAT OR PET STORE?
Marc and I talked about getting our new CD distributed in local pet stores. The trouble is, we need to find contact info for those stores. That's where we could use your help.

If you think a pet store in your area might be interested in selling the CD, could you help out? Here's how. Go down to the store and ask them if they would be interested. If so, get their contact information. Then email that info to Marc, and he'll make some phone calls to see if we can get it distributed in your area.

One last thing. We want to know which song you think is the funniest on the new CD, as that's the one we want to promote to comedy shows like Dr Demento. Email Marc and tell him.

Many thanks for helping to make this CD possible!

To talk is human. To purr is divine. Mreow!
-Torre Gunn, manager, lead meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
