Trapped!!
Timorous – 54 words
Timorous? No! Cautious, a bit conservative - with a sister like Sabrina, if you are late to supper, you are too late.I am described as serious, studied, and even wise for my age. But Timorous?I stalk my father's model railroad like Catzilla - scattering all before me. Run!Timorous, no, not me!
Parenting
Parenting is a big question mark for many people. Where did you learn the skills, where did you succeed or fail, and what might you do over? For some, would you even do it again?I fell into parenting, not with human children, but with a cat. I was only responsible for myself, lived alone for …
The Railroad Cat Takes a Break
Marcus: It's hard work supervising Dad's model railroad layout. All those little people and cars need to be moved about, and he needs help getting the trains onto the right track. That's why, just yesterday, I had to chase my sister, Sabrina, off. She has no concept of railroading. Imagine putting that passenger car onto …
Fussy Eater
Sabrina: Is it dinner time already? I have a question -Will it be the excellent chicken topped with a delicate sprinkling of the delicious pate? Will the broth be warmed up? You know I don't like cold food! And don't try to give any of the "Fancy Feast" stuff. Hmmph! Imitation cat food! And that …

Salvage?
A cat's life is a continual sacrifice. Take today's breakfast, for instance. It's some terrible gruel in a piquant sauce of unidentifiable origin. I have delicate taste buds. My mother was a Bengal cat, and I come from a sophisticated lineage of cats with elite needs. I made do with kitten kibble. Father just does not understand. He is …
Arias, Again!
She found the music and lyrics left by H.I.M. Xenia, Empress of all she surveyed. I thought I had safely relegated those to the garbage after Xenia died. But a dedicated cat leaves no trash bag untorn in her search for cat operatic fame, and Sabrina found them. Once again, the staircase rings with crystal-clear …
