Cats in compromising positions

Maybe this time I'll be a little sharper, a little wittier, a little more reverent. But I can't guarantee that. Continue reading

I can lick you clean of sin

There wasn't really very interesting about Sam other then the fact that he was missing part of his ring finger on his right hand. It didn't give him any problems though and people generally didn't notice unless he pointed it out but it did make him feel somewhat inferior. What... Continue reading

“Do you know why kittens have big ears?” He said, gently scratching behind her ears and careful to avoid the tick gently slurping. “It's so they can hear well.” I said. “Everyone knows that.

He thought it must be a crime when he saw her. It was the way she was dressed, black spandex and a blouse that appeared at first glance to be made of feathers. Deep russet the color was but he couldn't help but to think of her as a bird,... Continue reading

It was rare for the wind to blow from the north but on a certain Thursday it did and that's when the stray cat in the abandoned garage across the street gave birth to three kittens. That east wind also brought cold to that late march and the mother struggled... Continue reading

Frederick didn't like cats. This wouldn't have been a problem if cats also didn't like Frederick, but they did and so when he would find one they would immediately rub up against his leg as if he was the only person on the planet to ever pay attention to them.... Continue reading

I happen to get all my news from unicorns.

Across the street from my home is a house made of red brick. Behind that is a large oak tree which spreads it's great limbs across several yards, including the home just behind the red brick home. In that house lived a cat. He came to me one fall afternoon... Continue reading

There must be a place for me in between the raindrops of this summer storm--that's so warm at least until it stops. There must be a place for me under the soft gray clouds no lightning flashers--no thunder crashes just... Continue reading
