Cats will definitely let you know if they disagree with something. People who lived 3 streets away from me had a fantastic cat named Frank. When Frank was still young the people he lived with would go on a two week holiday. Frank didn't agree with being abandoned with a cat-sitter like that, so he took a massive dump on the doormat and ran off, showed up at my place and forced his way in through an open window. My own cats were very territorial but they somehow completely and utterly accepted this intruder, which is odd, when i woke up the next morning i found them snuggled up on the sofa with this strange cat in between them. Every time i gently chucked him outside he'd force his way in again so I asked around in the neighbourhood if they knew this cat and looked around everywhere if someone was missing a cat, but no luck. He wasnt chipped either, i couldn't figure out where he came from. Some three weeks later i found a note hanging on the door of a local store about a missing cat and when i rang the number it turned out to be Frank, they were so delighted to have their cat back. Every year for the next 14 years whenever they'd go on vacation, the cat would shit on the door mat before leaving to go live with either me or my direct neighbours (the rest of the year i'd not see Frank around at all lol) and every year i'd get a Christmas card from the people saying thank you for looking after Frank. Frank passed away a few years ago but i still get Christmas cards and we have a good laugh about it. He was amazing, it was always a lot of fun to have him around in the summers. I'd just text them to let them know Franky was at mine so their catsitter wouldnt worry and they'd be like 'Oh okay, i guess our doormat will need hosing down again' haha. Cats are the best. :)

My sympathies lie with Delmore. RIP, you poor misunderstood creature.

With vigilance, Delmore will soon have John completely trained, but he is well on the way already.

Cats are like no other creatures They will always let you know exactly how they feel.... ignore them at your own risk!!!

So nice to hear these classic British actors in a less formal & more humorous setting.

He really has that New England WASP banker persona nailed.

That letter was a work of art.

A letter about cats read by Sanjeev Bhaskar, one of my favorite English actors. Heaven. 🐈‍⬛

If someone drop-kicked me I wouldn't forgive them either

Delmore is king 🤴

John Cheever did speak like this! He has not just the accent, but pretty good on the delivery, too.

An even more fun point of view: Letter 'from' a rehomed cat.

"I shall not overlook my own failures in this tale." 😄

Cats will show you what they think of you. A friend was going away on vacation. Her travelling bag was standing on the floor with a pile of clean clothes in it and the lid open. Her cat jumped up on top of it and peed on the clothes, all the while looking her straight in the eyes.

His American accent is surprisingly good!

I've had 2 disappointing dogs but I have nothing but respect and love for the several cats I've had & the one I still have in my life.

Absolutely brilliant 😂. Had to share this in a cat group. I hope some people will watch it and maybe it's a gateway drug to letters live 😻. Wish I found a link to only Elisabeth Taylor s letter to her missing cat. To post in cat groups

I love Sanjeev and wow, that accent! Well done

Fantastic job reading this.

Brilliant!

Perfect interpretation! 👏

This is my favorite one yet

Hilarious and love Sanjeev!

Great narration 👏.

They should just try calling him by his given name

I had a mouthful of cereal when he said “attempted to unscrew her eyeball,” emphasis on *had.*. As one with a semi-low opinion of cats in general, this was a dangerously hilarious rendition of feline/human interaction.

Very good thank you 😊 Dude sounds very much like Nicholas Cage.

Cats are very territorial and often are not thrilled at being rehomed.

The letter is written and delivered in a funny way. Its content is very sad and not funny at all. So many people think cats behave as dogs. And so many believe cats are completeley "independent" and unattached to people. Neither is true. They suffer from stress and loss as much as dogs (or humans), but their body language is different and harder to read by many. They are also extremely routine-dependent. This letter speaks of a very sad and stressed cat and of at least its new owner having no real idea of what cats are really like.

I like Delmore 😂

I had a bad cat named “Bill.” Once he pooped in my open guitar case.

He was LUCKY the cat in question wasn't a SIAMESE. I am one of those "beyond reason cat lovers". I love dogs too. I'd have a zoo if I could- mice gets little graves as do dead birds if I can get enough to bury that is- I got that idea from a dear friend, so I am not the ONLY knot. I really enjoy Bhaskar and Cheever's writing but this anecdote wasn't that great- check out his letter performed with Miriam Margolyes Napoleon writes often! to Josephine. Namaste

Terrible and funny. Love his voice and cadence. 😂❤

Cats 🐈‍⬛ will be cats.

I learned never not hide my shoes because if the poet I am does not hide my shoes, my oldest cat who passed last fall peed in one.

It's a remarkably good Nicholas Cage, is the thing!

Felt like God Father reading the letter

What a cat 😂🐈Delmore😂😂

Typical cats, they love to drop butt shuttles and bum dumplings wherever they like. Good one Delmore 😂😂😂

Very good mid-Atlantic accent 😂

They got Barry Humphries to read the same letter

Humans domesticated dogs. Cats domesticated humans.

Funny😂

I've had many a cat such as this. One I evicted from my home at 1 AM, and my daughter was aghast at my lack of feeling. I told her not to worry, Beelzebub (not his real name) would return within 24 hours. More's the pity, I was right.

He's not a forgiving cat. They rarely are.

He is imitating Cheever.

What accent is this?

I'm too distracted by the Nick Cage accent.

🤣😂🤣😂

Why exactly is he doing a Nicholas Cage thing?

Delmore gotta go.

Boo animal abuse! I normally love these letters, but this person said they intentionally kicked their cat. @LettersLive please choose letters that don’t normalise animal abuse.

How is this funny?

Not even remotely funny!

American accent is OK, except for "contribute."

What happened to his voice? It sounds as if he's had throat cancer. What a shame.
