I work as a pool attendant at the Nairobi Aquatic Academy for African Antelopes. My doe and I were greatly enjoying a pre-print edition of “The Cat-Whiskered Girl” when, much to my shock, I came across my name in your novel. Is this a coincidence or have we met?

I believe I met your father when I competed in the inter-species races at the NAAAA in 1972. He was kind to me, and gave me an extra towel. It was to honor this fine individual that I named a character after him. I hope you are enjoying the novel.
