My dear Ms. Jane, I know for sure ——-that I think you are wonderful ——-that I value my friends and family ——-that I appreciate a warm chair to sleep in during a cold snap ——-that you know many more things than I do ——-that you give us lots to think about in our own lives ——-that your animals, like me, are blessed with wonderful owners ——-that I miss you when you don’t make your presence known on WOW Love, Dice the Nice

To Everyone: Just wanted to add my greetings - MERRY CATMOUSE and HAPPY MEW YEAR!!! Also, greetings on the other seasonal holidays - HANUKKAH, KWANZAA and of course, WINTER SOLSTICE. Most Sincerely, Dice, the Nice

Serena - thank you for the compliment!! I really like to have people kiss the top of my furry head - how did you know? Love from the Dice man.

Hi Ms. Lily: I believe in living in the “now”, too. I have to admit that some days turn out more fun than others but I’m open minded. If you live in the present, you don’t worry about the future or have anxiety about the past. I think that’s the way all cats should live. Purrs to you, Dice, the Nice

My dear Ms. Jane: Me, too - I’m glad you’re back. I like most days but especially when I hear from you because I consider you one of my true friends. I especially like days when there is no wind or rain. I know I could stay inside but that is not my choice. Huggs and purrs from Dice, the Nice

Dear Serena: HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you. I love you all, too. I may be sweet and handsome but I really am not a youngster - like I’m around 15 or 16 years old. I’m still active and happy. I am very sure I will get my share of turkey as will my kitty brothers and sisters. Thank you for your good wishes. Love, Dice

My Thanksgiving will be very busy - waiting for leftovers is a full time job which I take very seriously. I am thankful for my good home, my good friends and the opportunity to express myself on WOW especially with my new friend Jane Wagner, she doesn’t mind conversing with a cat. Dice, the Nice

My dear Ms. Jane, Thank you for telling me all the reasons I shouldn’t attend the Punk the Palins party. I could try going skating in order to be Dice on Ice—it would be lots safer and might be fun. Would you like to go skating with me? Please note, I have officially changed my name to Dice the Nice thanks to you. And that makes me feel related to you, somehow. Are you my Auntie Jane? Love, Dice

Dear Jane: Do you think Leonard and Virginia would invite a cat to the Punk the Palins Party? It sounds like great fun to me. I certainly would trust the wolves more than the Palins. I feel they would protect me from harm and we coud add “dice on ice” to our collection of Dice sayings. I could be ready in a trice! Love, Dice the nice.

Oh Ms Jane - LOVE your Dice sayings. SPEAKING of clever - YOU certainly are extra clever with words. Maybe that is why you’re such a fantastic writer. Love, Dice the nice.

Now that I’ve told you about my name, I must also tell you that sometimes when I’ve been on a longer than average trip around the yard, my people say “the Dice man cometh” - rather clever isn’t it? And now they can add “the Dice man writeth”. Love, Dice the nice

Dear Jane: I agree that Todd deserves a shock when the wolves jump out at him. They have more compassion than he does if all they want to do is give him a little payback. I do believe the wolves are smart enough to realize that they have to use a lot of caution when dealing with such people. Actually, all animals in the wild need to use quite a bit of caution when they really can’t trust someone. Please note that I am now usng the name you gave me - Dice, the nice.

Dear Ms. Whoopi: I hesitated to send my greetings but decided “better late”. I hope you like getting greetings from a cat, which I am. SO, HAPPY BIRTHDAY with love, Dice

Dear Edith: I’m very flattered that you are suggesting that the “first family” get cat that looks like me. THANK YOU. Dice, the nice.

Ms. Jane and I have this slight problem solved. The new first family should have a dog AND a cat, maybe from one of our wonderful animal shelters. That way, they could save two furry lives and have two new and adorable friends. Dice
