...Deep Cover Agent SRI LANKA to KittyNet.

Highest Security Channel established at this end.

Confirm you are receiving, KittyNet.

I have much to report, including full evals on the agents Vladia Velocicat and Commander Cheop - much that is of great value to us, and much that may jeopardize the mission.

There is little indication that the other agents of the V3 suspect my status as a Deep Cover KittyNet SuperAgent. There are times I almost feel moved to reveal it to them, but that of course is not feasible in these times. Perhaps in later years, when the world has become a peaceful place we three can all sit down together and be like friends instead of comrades-in-arms against a relentless foe, be able to put licking each other before devotion to a cause. But that time...well, let's not dwell too much on it. Let's put our speckly nose to the grindstone at hand.

The new agent called "Dickens" is now fully entrenched in the British human's home. He will be found under the name "Oliver". I have been able to get some information to other agents in the area, and so far the communication seems to be fairly open. The resident cat, "Elise" seems to be a straightforward sort and, as she seems to have relatively little KittyNet contact, may create a useful shield for Dickens / Oliver in his covert activities.

Will transmit detailed intensive reports as they are concluded, but for now...

Commander Cheop The Cat does his best. I am sometimes correcting his mistakes. But I see no harm in his continuing to believe he's directing the mission.

Vladia Velocicat, who as you know was very attached to Dickens / Oliver, seems to be returning to her old self. I have little spare time to devote to her, but have tried to make an effort to seem playful in order to keep her spirits up.

I still have not lost the extra pounds. But if you had my job, you'd understand. What am I saying? Of course YOU understand. How do you in the High Command do it - continue operating in High Alert mode, while keeping your sleek and graceful feline figures. Well, that's why you're the High Command and I am a mere General.

Until later.

Ever yours,

Sri Lanka Cat

Cheop Writes Haiku

All work and no play makes Cheop a dull cat, so says the wisdom of the ages.

Inspired by the work of the great Hanatō Fukui, I have endeavored myself to compose some haiku, in the style of the master, which I think are quite beautiful, if I do say so myself:


Food, food, food, food, food,
Food, food, food, food, food, food, food,
Food, food, food, food, food.

---

Autumn finch has fed.
I'm stuck inside, looking out.
O, to reverse roles!

---

All of this food talk
Is making me quite hungry.
Damn! It's only two o'clock. The HUMANS won't be home till six. That's four hours! I could starve to death!...

Edo Cat Haikus

THE V3 are excited by the prospect of the future publication of Hanatō Fukui's "The Edo Cat Haikus".

The great Hanatō is one of the few HUMANS who really understood THE CAT in all his multivarious greatnesses.

One can learn more about Hanatō and read samples from one of his greatest works by going HERE.

Cadet Dickens - Wrap Up

keycode#: maw.38k.hk.389vv
re: file# 9878a.kit.1qolso/3798j

First, let me say thank you for the opportunity to train Dickens the small black lanky kitten-cadet in his Basic Cat Skills. I found the experience rewarding and was pleased to be able to pass on what I myself have been most fortunate enough to have been myself taught. It is satisfying to be able to give something back to KittyNet.

We have confirmed that Cadet Dickens - who will be, I hope, shortly granted full Agent status (I assume this is a mere formality at this stage) - is ensconced inside the new location (W. Hollywood, CA - see MAP), has made tentative contact with the gray TabbyCat Elise, and is determining the viability of a semi-permanent post at the location. We expect to hear within 10 days a summary of his findings as well as an assessment of the political status and support capabilities of the TabbyCat Elise. Will update as info is available.

Dickens The Cat is a fine cadet and, I'd like to say, a first-rate candidate for the Kitty Shock Troop, or possibly the Elite Cat Assault Brigade, or even, should he distinguish himself, the Phalanx Of Feline Special Cat Ops And Tactics (i.e., POFSCOAT). This praise of his talent is no reflection on my own work with him, for he was possessed of a great many latent abilities which any competent instructor would have been able to nurture. It was, though, a great delight instructing him in the basics of Water Liberation Technique - one of my specialities, as you know - of which he grasped the rudiments quite quickly.

I will send on, of course, his final test scores and the like for your perusal.

There is, of course, much more that I could teach Dickens. And I would like to make it clear that, if KittyNet saw fit to return Dickens for more training that I would continue where we left off and that to do so would present no difficulty, especially since I have no new trainees at the present occupying my time.

I also would like to re-state, as I have mentioned in other correspondence, that I sincerely feel Disco Dancing has been under-utilized in Cat Training, not to mention in Field Work itself. Should you determine that Dickens might require an overview of the basics of Disco Dancing, please do let me know, as I believe I may also be able to help in this regard.

Yours,

Vladia Velocicat

Dickens To Depart Tomorrow

The young DICKENS ` m,`(who just stampeded across the keyboard and made that odd little addition there after his name - what a cat!) will be leaving us, yea, upon the pinkish morrow. (I am most usually plain and straightforward and post my reports in an unadorned style, but upon certain special occasions it is necessary for with the speech to become flowery and fragrant, purple and poetic, rhapsodic and wascally, don't you find?)

I've been remiss in posting lately. And I wonder if it could be some kind of avoidance behaviour (an British psychology expression meaning "avoidance behavior") on my part. For I will feel a certain...I may not entirely be without feeling as regards...I may experience symptoms of...

I shall miss Dickens.

But not in any sentimental way! No! Let us cat-nip that in the bud right now! I will miss filling his malleable little mind with dark plots. I will miss regailing him with the tales of my own harrowing experiences in the service of KittyNet. I shall (I'm switching to "shall" now) miss his wide-eyed admiration as he watches me demonstrate sophisticated cat attack maneuvers. And I shall miss assessing his gleeful assaults against the sleeping HUMANS.

Dickens will be shipping out tomorrow at 10am, posing as a prisoner of war ("adopted", the HUMAN propaganda machine calls it). If all goes well he will be set up in the West Hollywood apartment of one HUMAN, Sandra A., by noon. He will make contact with an "Elise" - a gray and white tabby.

Speaking of which, please do send ASAP:

Req. feli-file FORM89
File on CatName: "Elise"
90046/whd/FULLFILE
id#code.jad.32.d.1899 - fullf.


I do not know this "Elise". I have suspicions. But I will defer to KittyNet orders and such and so forth and fifth. I trust in you, my superiors.

Who knows when the V3 will see Dickens again? We have done all we can for him. I have taught him every single thing he will need to know for the rest of his existence. He need have no other teachers apart from me. And it should be noted that he is fully educated and has had every last vestige of ignorance removed from him by me personally myself.

I have little doubt that in the future we will read about his exploits in dispatches. Perhaps he will attain the highest offices. Perhaps he will be one of our great leaders. Perhaps it will be he who leads us to final victory against the HUMANS. And to think, that it was all because of me and my superb tutelage.

I am so proud...

So proud of my little Dickens...

Have to...Have to sign off...I've...I've got something in my eye...

HUMAN + CAT < HURRICANE

Our struggle against the HUMANS is eternal and unending. Still, there is always a bigger picture, as much as I don't like to admit it.

Hurricane "KAT-rina" (acting, I must emphasize, in a very wet, sloppy and decidely un-katlike fashion) (also please note that we object strongly to this name and that we intend to make inquiries) has reminded us here at the V-Base that while we distinguish and choose, select friends and select enemies, judge a HUMAN bad and bad-smelling and a CAT good, saintly and kind, yes, we are reminded that there are larger forces to whom CAT and HUMAN are toys indistinguishable.

I will not relent in my - our - war against the HUMAN MENACE, but I do accept that there may be something greater than all of us. And it may be - just possibly - that the future holds something other than perpetual war against our oppressors. But we will see. We will see.

For now, The V3 (and cadet-trainee, DICKENS) invite all to take a moment to remember the suffering in the South of those on both sides of the HUMAN-FELINE struggle.

To support CAT rescue in Louisiana with donations or other material support go to:

Louisiana Veterinarian Medical Association

or

LSU School Of Veterinary Medicine

or

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

or

United Animal Nations

Please give what you can. Non-military aid is also acceptable.
