Hello everyone-
Can you believe it is almost Spring already? It sure feels like it here in Michigan?
Did you all have a nice Easter holiday? The Nice Lady and I had a wonderful holiday. I watched her color Easter eggs, so that we could have an Easter egg hunt with the Niece and Nephews. I had so much fun helping them find the eggs. I hope all of you enjoyed your family on the Easter Holiday.
I have heard so many good things about many of you out there who met the Nice Lady over the two last months when she visited your schools. She said all of you are so nice, and some of you were asking about me? Hearing all the nice things you say makes my heart smile!!! I know a lot of you have asked about me making a visit along with the Nice Lady, but I am not much of a traveler anymore. Now that I am older, I like staying home curled up on my pillow. I know the Nice Lady shares my photos with you when she visits your school, so please enjoy seeing me in my photos. I think you can tell I am a real natural in pictures!! I plan to share these pictures and many more with all my fans here on my website very soon. Just been very busy with other things, like napping, playing with my toys, and of course, enjoying time with the Nice Lady.
I want to provide a few thoughts on a few past events that the Nice Lady has shared with me. First, I want to thank all the students in Ms. Tucker’s class at St. Joseph School in Lake Orion, Mi. The students drew such great pictures of me and of characters they thought might be a fun playmate for me. I am going to be sharing these drawing with all my website viewers soon, so stay tuned Ms. Tucker and students at St Joseph. Oh, by the way, I am sure those who have Ms. Tucker as a teacher already know this, but for those of you who don’t know her, the Nice Lady told me she is such a Nice Teacher and that she really cares about her students!!
Now for the future events you may want to know about. The Nice Lady will be doing her first Book store reading and book signing at the Barnes and Noble in Royal Oak, Mi. She will be doing a story time reading and signing on the evening of April 29th at 6:30 p.m.. Then on Saturday May 1st she will do another reading and book signing at 3 pm. For those of you who do not live near Royal Oak, but more on the west side of the town, she will be at the Barnes and Noble in Ann Arbor May 8th. We aren’t sure of the time as of yet, but keep checking back and we will continue to share information on all these events, and others that will soon be added. You can also check Barnes and Noble’s website, for details.
If you live near a Barnes and Noble, you might want to ask if the Nice Lady is coming there anytime soon? If not, let them know you how much you would love to see her there. Again, “squeaky wheel gets the oil.” 
Wow! I managed to share a lot this month. I think I now want to go curl up on my pillow and take a long nap. It is raining out and the Nice Lady has my pillow next to the window which opens so I can smell the fresh rain air. She knows how much I like that.
Thanks for letting me share so much with you, keep reading my corner each month, for now it is time for a morning nap!!!!
Nick’s Corner – March, 2010I went out today and found that the snow here in Michigan is melting and, with the sun brightly shining, it felt like Spring is just around the corner.
By now, you have been back to school from the holidays for the better part of a month. I do hope all is going well with the school
work and getting back into the learning mode. I know how it is to be away from something for a while and then returning to it. You always seem to feel a bit rusty and out of sorts. Like when the Nice Lady pulls out one of my cat toys that we have not played with for a while. I find that my reflexes are not as sharp as they were when we last played with it together. Soon, when Spring arrives, I will spend more time outdoors and my cat skills and reflexes will be tested as I explore what nature has to offer and begin playing with some of my backyard and neighborhood friends.
I want to thank the many readers who sent me emails telling me how much they are enjoying my first three books from the Importance of Family series. I have also received some very good reviews from many of you on the CD of the Nice Lady reading the three books. Many have said they especially like the music and special sound effects that are in the background as the Nice Lady is reading.
Keep your feedback coming.
Well I have some very good news for all of you. I am excited to report that the Nice Lady and I just finshed writing the first book in Series II, The Importance of Friendship series titled, Different is Good. Dave Messing, our illustrator, 
is now working up the wonderful illustrations for the book. It should be available in June or July depending on how picky I get when it comes to approving the final book which from there, it goes off to the printers. I will update you on the publication date as the timing becomes clearer to me. You know what they say, “always expect delays when you are working towards PERFECTION!!!!”
I know in last month’s message to you from my corner here, I promised you I would post some photos of me on this page. I am still choosing my favorites but I promise you, they will be here next month for you to enjoy. In the meantime, continue to study hard and tell all your teachers about me and perhaps they will invite the Nice Lady and me to come to your school to do a reading and book signing event. The Nice Lady did two readings last month and has six scheduled readings so far for this month.
Got to go, the Nice Lady is putting out my dinner.
You’re Friend,
Nick
Nick’s Corner – February, 2010Happy NEW YEAR!!!!!
Given that my website has just today been fully launched, this is my first monthly newsletter to you, which I will be updating at the beginning of each new month.
With winter upon us, another holiday season having come and gone, and half the school year under your belts, I hope things are going well for all of you and the holidays provided good family time together. I am sure, being well into the school year, you have made some new friends, strengthened past friendships, and that all is going well academically for all of you. 
I have to tell you, for the past month or so, I have not been feeling very well. The Nice Lady is so in tune with me, she knows when I don’t feel well and always takes me to the doctors to see what might be the problem.
Good thing she does, for this time when we went to the doctors, they discovered I had an overactive thyroid. What this means is whenever I was eating, my body would move so fast inside that I didn’t get to keep all the nutrients, and therefore, I always felt hungry. I was eating but losing weight and never feeling my best. So now I need to take daily medication with my meals.
I am happy to report after a month of being on my medication, I am back to feeling purrrrrfect!!! I am now ready for many more barbeques in the years to come, and more of those wonderful hamburgers???
The Nice Lady and I would like to wish you (and your family) a wonderful new year, enjoy the holiday memories, and do well in the rest of the school year. Before you know it, summer vacation will be here with many family barbeques to attend.
And not to be discounted, remember to study really hard so you will receive good grades. School is very important these days, so learn as much as you can and you will surely be rewarded. And if you study really, really, really, and I mean REALLY hard, perhaps one day, you will be as wise as I am today.
Soon I will be posting on this page, photos of me and updating them monthly as some of my readers have asked me to do.
You’re Friend,
Nic
