TAUCE  =  ACUTE,  YIKTT  =  KITTY,  PINELP  =  NIPPLE,  MURTES  =  MUSTER —   Giving us:  CEIYNLESR

Clue/Question:  It can be yours at the end.

Answer:  “SINCERELY“

(More great, all-around, scrambling.  The cartoon wants you to think more along the lines of wills and inheritance, but it’s really about how many letters are closed.  Very sneaky, guys.  Be good, do good, friends.  Cherish the time with your pets.  Seventeen years, three months was a remarkable run for our dear, sweet and loyal Boone dog.  Run, boy, run! No one could catch you, way back when.  Rest easy, old friend.)   — YUR
