I'm an old sucker for happy endings and this story couldn't have turned out any better, far as I'm concerned. LOL. Glad Fred got what was coming to him. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Cats are my weakness and my strength. I have five of them, and they are excellent judges of character.
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
What a great story. I thought in the beginning you were talking about a little boy. Surprise it's a cat. What a genius you are. You fooled me and probably a lot of other readers.
Great job and good luck in your contest.

As a cat lover myself - I can only applaud you for this story.
It is just what a cat would d0, and the reaction was spot on, hurt the cat & pay the consequences.
Good stuff.

Thank you. That's correct. If anyone hurt one of my cats, there would be hell to pay. Lol
Comment from Tom Horonzy
It's a good read though I only recognized the subject speaking was a cat more than halfway through. I mean.... dad? Are we speaking Tom or a husband, and if a Tom I guess they can vamboozle away too.

Thank you. I know several men who consider themselves cat or dog dads. My husband was one of them.

Comment from Begin Again
Way to go! Let the reader believe the story was being told by a child and then bingo! it's a fluffy irate cat with it's claws set for battle. Good job and quite humourous.
Smiles, Carol

Thank you, Carol. I have been on this site sparingly lately. I miss reading your marvelous writings, but I will return when things slow down here.
Comment from Tim Margetts
This is great, I love the little surprise twist at the end that meets the brief perfectly.
As a dog dad and also someone who is owned by 3 cats, I agree.
Love me, love my fur family. And never come to my house unless you are ready to leave with plenty of fluff.

Comment from Natureschild
A great flash story, well crafted and amusing. I love that you kept me guessing until the middle before revealing the protagonist is a cat.
I hope you do well in the contest.

Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. I have a cat who is picky about who he welcomes to the house. Cats are excellent judges of character.

Thank you. I love writing cat stories. They are excellent judges of character, too. Once, a man in a lovely suit came to our home, and my cat went straight to him and climbed on his lap. I was horrified the guy would be angry about the cat hair on his suit, but he just laughed and petted my cat. He was a genuine cat person.
Comment from Sallyo
Little horror... This is a genuinely funny piece of flash, which works because of the common habit of people to refer to their pets as "kids" etc. My daughter is "Mummy bird" to her parrots, and calls me "Granny bird" when I come to visit. Therefore... well, the story works!

Thank you. Yep, I have five cats and love them like children. They have a lot of love inside their little, furry bodies.
