Happy Feline Friday, felinity assembled!
With Daddy Kiril still working on getting us back on his laptop I continued working on my 200 word stories.
Just in time to help celebrate the 200th edition of The Pet Parade, I finished the first one and asked Daddy Kiril to stop by the library on his way to work and post it!
Oh, and there is a link to a special treat after the story, too!
The Lesson by Elvira Mistress of Felinity
The grizzled old Tortie lay in the far corner of the dimly lit garage, hiding in shadows, waiting for a mouse to exit the safety of its hole in the wall.
Spring was in the air and young mice, anxious to do what young mice do, were getting antsy after the last snow of winter had melted.
“But mom”, whined the youngster, “that old cat hasn’t been seen for DAYS! Can’t I go out now?”
“No, Alfredo, absolutely not! Just because you can’t see, or smell her, doesn’t mean she isn’t out there. Remember your great-great-grandfather Jorge.”
“Oh, mom, stop with the scary stories! I ain’t no baby!”
“I said NO, and that’s final!”
The Tortie was patient, a lifetime as a mouser taught her that.
She knew it was only a matter of time before a young mouse’s impatience overcame any common sense its parents tried to impart.
Two hours later a head poked out of the hole in the wall, looked left and right, and then Alfredo made a dash toward the cat flap in the garage door.
It was locked.
He turned around…
And froze…
The Tortie smiled in anticipation…
“You should have listened to mama, kid…”

And now, the special treat!
A 2 min. video clip., on daddy's FB and open to the public, of Sneakers the Texian Tuxedo and I at play!
I even talk a little, though you might not be able to hear me well, if at all.
Concatulations to all our friends hosting The Pet Parade!
We have been honored to be long time participants and look forward to the next 200!

We stopped by to wish Elvira a Happy Gotcha Day and we hope Daddy Kiril can get your laptop working soon.
