The dogs of the world
were jealous on the day that it only rained cats.
The good news is that our
own cat—rescued over a year ago right after some massive storms—is recovering
from his phobia of rain. Like Pavlov’s cat, I'm pretty sure he now salivates at the sound
of thunder. He definitely
arrives at my lap at the first sound of raindrops. That’s okay. It’s
better than seeing him cower under the bed.
Am hoping the kitty in
the picture got warm and dry right after the picture was taken!

I so agree! The picture made me sad and I wondered what sort of story you'd write about it. As always, you did a terrific job.
ReplyDeleteOn closer inspection, I've decided the picture looks like its been photoshopped. Kitty's fur really doesn't look wet at all. Yep, that's what I'm going with...not wet at all.

Lol, Pat, I knew you would. Yes! Photoshopped! Now that you mention it, you're right. I'll go with that, too.
DeleteKitty looks mighty unhappy, and who can blame him? My kitties are indoor cats and spoiled, with no idea what rain is. Hope the fur-baby in the picture found a warm spot.
ReplyDeleteSounds like all of your pets are exceptionally well cared-for! Thanks for stopping by, Lisa.
DeleteTammy--That IS good news about your cat.
ReplyDeleteYep! We go through a lot of treats, though. :)
DeleteI prefer to think that Kitty is on the inside of the window pane, with a couch and three pillows in the background. However (SHAME ON ME!), the first thing I thought was, "That's one wet...kitty."
ReplyDeleteYou know, I thought it looked like there might be a window pane, too...but I couldn't figure out why there would be cobblestones in there. Now I see that you are right! It IS a nice warm couch! With a small fish inexplicably caught in the cushion.

ReplyDeleteI found this one a real challenge also - trying to make something at all positive out of what were both, in essence, negative prompts; no harm in such challenges of course!!! Well met... YAM xx
You did a wonderful job with this as usual, YAM!
ReplyDeleteOh so good, Tammy!!! :) [I'm still smiling.]
ReplyDeleteI am with you, I generally count characters and spaces but today I went to words. Poor little cat.
Then I whittled, down from 184 to 140. It still sounded okay when I finished. Poor little cat.

Thank you for being so gracious about my little bitty contribution! I appreciate it. Can't wait to read yours.
