Letter to a Cat
Letter to a Cat (An Irish short story published in 1997) -Write an essay. ... I think the farewell letter says a lot about Norma the way she leaves her husband and daughter. She is still polite in the letter, even though they have stumped her under their boots most of her adult life. The fact that she addresses the letter to the cat is like saying that she has given up in trying to talk to the family. Every time Norma wants to have a point of hers get though to her husband and daughter, she addresses it to the cat. ... Instead of addressing the letter to the family, she chooses to address it to Colonel Blimp, the cat.
