Hey Friends - I wrote this true story for Momoko Uno’s “100 Word Cat Story Contest.” I hope you enjoy!
22 pounds of muscle. Blue-gray fur. Green eyes. She killed my favorite hen. Carried the bird proudly between her teeth.
The carpenter who built our deck mistook her for a cougar prowling our property line at sunset.
Large. A killer.
Afraid of her own shadow.
My 2-pound kitten pitter-patters toward her. Big Kitty flees.
My husband steps near. Ears go flat, tail down. She runs.
I approach. Whisper, “Hey Kitty, Kitty.” She jumps. Scurries away.
But when Hubbie is out, and Little Kittie is asleep, she approaches. Sniffs. Leaps onto the couch, inches away. My hand strokes slowly. She purrs.
Shame about your chicken but maybe the cat was trying to get your attention.
