Spicy loves sharing moments of her life with her pen pal Rainey. Through letters, she tells of her scary experience the first time she almost had her claws clipped, why she wears a special collar to keep her in the back yard, games she has invented, and whether it's okay to be a scaredy cat. Spicy and Rainey decided it would be fun to share some of these letters with you. We hope you enjoy them.

Life is ever changing and so is Spicy’s world. Now she shares her home with sisters Tinker and Bella, plus a boy cat named Junior. Yeah, a Boy! Not only does Junior stir up mixed emotions among the girls, he considers himself to be a Mighty Hunter—and he’s out to catch his Trophy Prey.For all of you who have ever been called a scaredy cat, well, maybe that’s a good thing. But Spicy learns about a new way to be scared. Being embarrassed. It was awful. Until she learned to laugh at herself.And have you ever tried to teach someone else something? Bella has. She taught Mother a big lesson: Not to chase cats! Later, Spicy teaches her MiMa an exciting new game called This Door That Door. And Tinker? Well, Tinker tries to teach Junior to be her assistant. She’s Daddy’s fashion consultant, you know, and is used to working alone. So how does her new Junior Assistant work out? To tell the truth, we’re all still reeling from that experience.We hope you enjoy Spicy’s stories.

Life is seldom humdrum with five cats in one house. Spicy has had a busy year but still finds time to send poems and letters to her pen pal Rainey. Spicy always knew she was the favorite cat, but she didn't know all the other cats thought they were the favorite, too. And what happens when sisters fight? Is anyone else affected? Will they ever make up? What would you do if you were a mouse and found yourself inside a house with five cats chasing you? Oh, and the cats had a visitor who heard Angel singing. He promised to make her a star. Only one problem: Angel would have to leave home. Could Spicy stand by and let her best friend leave? Have you ever lost a tooth? Spicy lets Tinker take to the keyboard to tell Rainey about her own experience losing a tooth. But did the tooth fairy come visit? In Volume Three of her adventures, Spicy tells all, sending Fondest Purrs to all her readers, and Rainey sends big hugs, too.

Spicy continues to keep her pen pal Rainey entertained with stories and poems of her life with four feline housemates. In Love and Purrs, Spicy uses poetry to describe a fun visit she had with her human friend Lyla, who loves cats, and when they all hid, except Spicy, of course, Lyla and Mother went looking for them. Where were they hiding? Spicy also shares memories of her Auntie Kiki, a beautiful Siamese, and has set to rhyme the story of a zany afternoon when playtime went haywire for Kiki and her mama. Spicy has stories about games she plays, Tinker's career (Can you believe that?), and the time she wanted a pet of her own. Spicy hopes these events in her life will help you to appreciate the great moments in your own life and to build special memories with your family and friends. Rainey sends her love. Enjoy!
