Dear Kath
It was very kind of you to give me some money. I'll buy animal shampoo because your cat fell in dirty water. I'll get some treats for him too. He's very naughty but we are having a good time.
See you!
Hi cousin!
Thank you ever so much for the money. I'm going to buy a beautiful long dress to wearing it at my birthday party. Would you like to attend? It's very special for me that you come.
Love

Dear Kath,It was very kind of you to give me* (some) money. I'll buy animal shampoo because your cat fell in dirty water. I'll get some treats for him too. He's very naughty but we are having a good time.

Hi cousin!

Love,
*This is okay, but since you are writing a note and you have her cat, it sounds as though the situation is more like Kath is not physically there. In this case, shouldn't it be "send me money"? (even if it's an electronic transfer). Also, the "some money" tends to be something a Romance-language speaker says, and is better left out.
**Either "...long dress to wear at..." or "long dress and wear it at..."
***We don't say "It's very special for me that..." The idiommatic expression is "It would mean a lot me if...(you could come/you came)".
