This is a really great story you have penned from beginning to end. I was totally surprised to learn it was a cat instead of a child. You used great descriptive words ang great imagery from your words. This looks like a winner to me my friend! love and blessings, Teri

Thank you for reading and commenting. I am happy you enjoyed the story. I love to write cat stories.
Comment from estory
You spring the surprise of the narrator turning out to be the cat quite well. We must believe that you are the woman's son from the opening lines of the narrative, with its condemnation of divorce and articulation of the pain that children go through when their parents are distracted by the love interests in their lives, from their kids. Perhaps if they were cats they would claw like this too. estory

Thank you. I love your take on this story. I'm sure children would love to claw someone. Lol

Hello, PRETTYBLUEBIRDS!
A most delightful flash fiction offering.
And having owned and been owned by a number of felines in my lifetimes, I can certainly relate to the sentiments expressed by your furry protagonist.
And heaven help anyone who would lift a finger to hurt any strand of fuzziness!
Thank you for sharing!
fondly,
diane

Thank you. I agree. I have five cats and pity anyone who messed with them. If someone hurt one of my babies, I would make them pay dearly.
Comment from mermaids
Love it! Love it! Awesome feline tale here and I thought the main character was a child in the beginning but the ending is wonderful. As I am owned by two cats, they would approve of this tale as well. Your writing draws the reader in and holds her there and again. love the surprise ending. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you, and thanks for the six stars. I have five cats, so I understand the nature of the critters. Lol. Also, I wouldn't allow anyone into my life who doesn't love cats.

My husband and I use to have six cats at one time. Most of my friends are cat people. Elaine

Thank you for sharing writing prompt entry with us. I had fun reading. Being owned by two orange male tabbies, I completely understand this, only my two boys won't come out of hiding when anybody visits. LOL Good luck with this entry.

Thank you. It's wonderful to know so many cat Moms and Dads are on this site.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This cat knows how to play the game here and I loved this short story. Cats do not like interlopers and it is not unusual for them to misbehave when they think their nose is pushed out. I loved the dark humour here and I was entertained by this delightful story, love Dolly x

Thank you. I am owned by five cats, and they are picky about who they allow into their lives.

Wonderfully clever! I was imagining the narrator as a little boy right down to the Aaagh moment! Faultlessly and engagingly written, this is a strong contender for the contest and I wish you luck! Debbie

Thank you. I love to write about cats so it's easy to stick them in a story.
Comment from LJbutterfly
I really enjoyed the way this story leads you to envision a sweet young boy protective of his mom, and smoothly flows into a satisfying, humorous and surprising ending. I was surprised a cat is telling the story. Best wishes in the contest.

Thank you. Cats are one of my favorite animals, and they are excellent judges of character. I can actually imagine a cat doing something like this.

Thank you. I love to write cat stories. Cats are excellent judges of character and It's not beyond them to do something of this nature.
Comment from BethShelby
This is cute story and as someone who has a cat as a basic companion and think I'd kick out someone who hurt my baby too. The surprise is that we originate Ly that this was about a child. Cats like to play using their claws and teeth but they usually don't break the skin if they are playing.

Thank you. Cats can be vicious if they are threatened. Cats are an excellent judge of character, too.
