FF – What Cats Think
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Dale Rogerson.
I lurk behind the pulped tree matter, planning my move…
“What’s Miss Fluffypaws doing up there?”
“She’s fine, sweetie, leave her alone.”
… all undetected, I await, invisible, until it’s time to strike…
“She looks like she’s lurking.”
“She always looks like she’s lurking.”
… little do the two-legs suspect that their end is at hand…
“She’s looking at me funny, Dad!”
“Well, that’s cats for you.”
… I prepare to pounce, this is the Age of the Cat!…
“She knows we’re the ones who supply her food.”
… the two-legs make a good point… cancel attack… prepare to take nap… zzzzzzzzz
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

Yes, that was close. Need to find an independent food source first.

This is true… as I witness Omelette jumping on Moondust (or Kat as my son prefers) knowing she will get growled at.., typical baby sister…

I just realized something…
The cat in your story is trying to conquer the humans (at least in its household – you know; start small, end big).
And in a previous blog you mention wanting to the title Lord Master…
Are YOU a cat? lol that would be quite the plot twist 😅

Haha, it would!

Dear Ali,
My guess is she’d still pounce because she knows the two-legs will feed her anyway. 😉 Cute.
Shalom,

What a sensible cat, have a nap first and then threaten them a pounce just at feeding time.

I love the cat’s monologue; and the ‘two-legs’ – both oblivious to how close they came to whatever it was she was planning. Hiliarious.

The two-legs sit around all unknowing until the Day arrives 🙂

Proper pouncing requires patient, but perfect practice. We strike when the time is right. Fun and well done. 😉

Yes, definitely time for Miss Fluffypaws to have a rethink about the clawses in her contract – since it’s so very nice being the eternally pampered baby of the family.

She has worked out the best way forward now, for sure!

I guess Ms. Fluffypaws didn’t get the memo that cats already own their two-legs.
