chrispenycate -- If it's a fair election, the results won't be fair.

Well, I'm in - and I suspect Victoria entered her revue (thank you, chou-chou) before I finished checking the word count.

It was originally more feline, but current affairs intervened…

 

[Parson]

This could be dangerous, I'm fighting sleep and trying to review Chris' entry. If I miss by a mile, blame the eye and not the guy.

@chrispenycate .... reminds us that political passions are like a cat, fickle and will turn on you like Murphy, leaving you sputtering words like "Damoclacy before bleakfast."

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Cory Swanson -- If it sounds tasty, it's a recipe for disaster.

 

[Parson]

@Cory Swanson .... It's nice to have an exit plan when you're cooking up a recipe for disaster: "Murphy Slaw."

@Old_Man_Steve2016 .... If only the strong survive its best to be the biggest, toughest, hombre around. That's why we have "My Pet Dragon, Leader of Albana City."

 

[Danny McG]

Where have all the new cat stories gone?
That grew old fast!

WHAT!?

Cat stories never grow old!!

Old_Man_Steve2016 -- If you make a joke, everyone will take it seriously.

I've been considering entering but I can't think of a demise unpleasant enough for a cat. Well, at least one that isn't a gratuitous rewrite of Wolf Creek or Hostel.



Bah! Cats!

You do realize that cats aren't an official part of the challenge, right?

Of course I do, I've been doing these challenges longer than you've been ... oh wait...

(Not a cat person)

 

[Cathbad]

I tried to protect you, @Phyrebrat ; but Mr. Whiskers says you are now "officially on... The List."


(Not to worry; I've been on The List many times myself, but am quickly removed - with much gratitude shown - at meal times.)

 

[Phyrebrat]

I live in the ghetto, Cathbad, you should see the flick knives the cats round here carry. And their side looks are just so rude.

Tell Mr W he's exempt from my misfelinothrapy

[Cathbad]

Tell Mr W he's exempt from my misfelinothrapy

I think he appreciates that... but when he read your post, his eyes got wide and he ran under the couch!

It'll probably take opening a can of tuna to coax him out from under there.

 

[Calliopenjo]

Well, on the bright side my foot is half healed. On the bad side, my story doesn't involve cats. They don't appreciate me and I find it very difficult for me to appreciate them. Which may be the reason why I'm obsessed with My Cat From Hell.

 

[Parson]

@Hugh .... reminds us that aging has all of the indignities of the past, while adding new ones in the future. Who could guess what the Cat could be cooking for "Supper?"

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Hugh -- If you trade roles, you get the worse one.

 

[Teresa Edgerton]

I'm in. And pleased that I managed two months in a row.

No cats, though.

Ahh, little do you know, I once had a cat named Orson.

It was short for Ornery Snot.

Teresa Edgerton -- If you're perfect for each other, the imperfect gets in your way.
