So, you have done something that you thought you would never do, you got a cat. I know how you feel, truly I do, and I know why you made the choice, after knowing firmly in your heart that pets hold no value to you. It is the same reason that I, despite my knowledge that flowers are truly a pestilence and a leech, let Love redecorate my office so that it now looks like a woman’s garden. Usually, my letters are warnings of immediate death, but this is different, you see the cat in your life, which you agreed to get because it meant so much to your wife, will be a constant threat to you. Not because it is dangerous, in fact you will find it quite pathetic and scared, but that it will reveal the character flaws within you and you will need to deal with it, or else you will most likely die.

You will suffer great annoyance; I know you were not joking when you said you did not like pets, you have always held that believe, even when others were disgusted. Again, I can relate, there were many a garden party that I did not attend because of the flora. The burden that we both must endure is outrageous. The pet must be trained and fed, and messes must be cleaned up while these flowers in my office must be kept alive; I am Death, I cannot keep things alive it is not what I do! Yet we both acted in ways that defied our personal beliefs and values and we both did it for women.

There might be some who suggest to you, for it has been suggested to me, that we had some other motive, that we only allowed it because it would grant us some carnal benefit, but we both know that is not the case. We did it because it meant so much to them. I know that you looked on your wife, seeing her desire and longing for a pet and wanted her to be happy. I will not admit this to anyone, except you perhaps in my letters, that I feel the same for Love. Despite the anger and annoyance that this new burden will give us, when we seem them smile, as your wife plays with the cat and as Love smells the lavender in my office, then it all fades. Perhaps this the duty of a man, that he ought to sacrifice for the benefit of a woman.

There is something that Love shared with me that I wish to share with you. She said to me, after planting the flowers in my office, “you now must take good care of them and love them. That is important to me.” I feel this applies to you and the pet. It is not enough that you allowed the pet within, but as it is important to your wife, you must treat it as important to you.

There is an encouragement here, that as annoying as that pet is, do not forget how important it is and now how important it is to. If I can care for plants then you can care for a cat.

P.S. If you tell anyone what I wrote then I will kill you, I am Death.
