Yappy Hew Near, Felinity Assembled!
As regular readers know Elvira Mistress of Felinity, and I, write poetry, and stories.
In June of 2010 I wrote my first 100 Word Cat Story, and in Sept. 2010 Elvira wrote HER very first one. ;-D
I've previously written 4, and she has written 2.
We were inspired by The 100 Word Story Series hosted each week, by it's brainchild, the one and only Laurence Simon, Catblogger, Founder of Carnival of the Cats, podcaster, and short-short story writer extraordinaire

Anyway I am back with a new story, and both of us plan to write more as the new year begins.
Maybe even have our own Weekly, or Bi-Weekly, 100 Word Cat Story Challenge if enough Cats show interest.
That's where this entry comes in...I want to gage interest.
It's been a few years since I tried getting Felinity Assembled interested in writing Poetry, with little success, but we don't plan on giving up. :-D
Here is my story...
New Year's Resolution
Leonidas sat on his window perch, gazing thoughtfully at the plot in the yard where generations of his ancestors were buried.
His Human's family had lived here for 300 years, and Felines had lived here almost from the start.
A long line of Mousers, male, and female, all Purebred Maine Coons, all except for George the 3rd.
George was part, well, no-one remembers now, and it's not important.
It was July 4th, 1876, and George had resolved to not catch Mice anymore, prefering to find something else requiring less effort on his part to catch.
Poor George chose the Cow.

If you are interested, and feel up to the challenge, or your Human does then, one day this month, write a 100 word Cat Story with the theme being "New Year's Resolutions", post it on your blog, with a link back to this post so everyone won't be scratching their heads, and going "What the Heck?", and either e-mail me the link at the addy in the sidebar, or leave details in the comments for me to retrieve, and on February 4th I will post a round-up.
