My beloved Natty

Hi my love!  My Princess!  My Sleeping Beauty!  Are you back within the embrace of your family and your family home, ready to celebrate the warmth of hearts and arts?  (hee hee, I got that from "Groundhog Day")  I want you to know that I wish I were with you to embrace and love you, and how lonely I am without you, and that I love you with all of my heart.  You are my precious and beautiful Natty, and I long for you and think of you all the time.

I just had my dinner.  Well, I had half of it, I was in the middle of eating when they called the sunset prayer, so I'll get back to it after this letter inshaAllah.  I put it under a cover so the cat doesn't get to it.  Floofy is always hungry.  She's always on the prowl for a snack.  But I had to stop all snacks for her.  Why, you may ask?  Because if she snacks, then she'll puke out her dinner, that's why!  It's not easy.  While I'm cooking, she'll jump onto the counter and try to snack.  When my back is turned while I'm at the sink, she'll jump onto the counter and try to snack.  When my back is turned while I'm trying to get something out of the cooler, she'll jump onto the counter and try to snack.  Today I made a mistake.  I was was frying up some croutons, using chicken skin.  Chicken skin makes delicious croutons, but they need a certain amount of oil to fry up then they generate more oil.  I had a plastic bag ready to rid of the excess oil, but it melted and chicken flavored grease spilled onto the counter and the floor.  There's no getting rid of that easily, even though I used lots of paper towels to blot it.  Now Floofy is going to lick that up.  Will she puke out her dinner?  I don't know.  Lately she will snack on anything, like a bug or a gecko, then puke out her dinner, even though I didn't provide her with a snack.  What do I do with this cat?  Do you have any suggestions?
