Mrs. Yates would miss you terribly. Every time that you bring her her meals, you brighten her day. She's impressed that such a young child as you know the jazz standards. When you leave she's still smiling half an hour later.

Wouldn't you miss Cooper and Onyx? You've held them in your hands from when they were just two months old. As adult cats, I know that they would miss you. Mrs. Bannister is grateful that you help her with the litter box.
