Friday Fictioneers – Here Kitty Kitty

by 51 Comments

Here Kitty, Kitty! Here Kitty!

Mom, she doesn’t like me.

Now, don’t say that, Kimmy. She’s probably scared.

But, if she won’t come to me, how can I play with her?

When she’s ready, she’ll come out and play.

I think she wants to eat your books, Mom. Carly says her cat Puffy eats her Mom’s magazines. When kids do that, they get in trouble. Will kitty get punished if she eats your book?

Why don’t we wait for Kitty to do that and, then, decide?

Okay, but if Kitty doesn’t play with me soon, can I get another one?

Intriguing, sensitive, mysterious, loving, artistic and crackling with excitement for life is a pretty good description of who I am. I just retired from the world of art where I sold my Artfully Designed Handmade Jewelry for 28 years; although, art will always be a part of who I am no matter what venue I choose to express it in.

    Them damned book-eating cats. The adoption agency should do a better job when pairing up kitties with humans. A simple, “Do you own a lot of books or magazines?” could spare a household a lot of literary damage.

    Nicely done.

    Maybe a pack of cat treats will lure the kitten – though it is important that children learn early on that cats rule 🙂

    Cats are always the boss. Kitty will decide who she plays with and when. This story rings true.

      I think all pets need to adjust to children slowly. Kimmy needs to learn that. She will eventually. It may ring true because I have two cats that react cautiously when they see children. I’m sure dogs are the same way. This was a fun photo for the challenge this week. Thank you for reading and commenting, Margaret.

    Cats do like to be in control, and won’t play ball if forced. It takes a while for children to learn this nature of cats and usually they get bored first–as your story implies.

    1. Cat will not come.
    2. Open can of tuna.
    3. Well trained obedient cat arrives in two seconds. Cute story. Well done.

    A most believable conversation. I wonder, though, if Kimmy has mistreated Kitty, who has learned to stay out of reach.

    Kids learn patience and compassion with pets. Hopefully…

    Querida Isadora,

    Hopefully Kimmy and Kitty will warm up to each other. Cute story in dialogue.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

      Querida Rochelle,
      Pets can teach kids how to care for something that depends on them. I think they’ll warm up to each other eventually. As with all relationship, they’re in the – getting-to-know-each-other phase. Glad you enjoyed, mi amiga … Abrazos y Carino,

    Cats and dogs both have different lessons to teach to children. Some are more painful than others, but on the whole, I think only good can come from the association.

      Pets are good for children to learn to care for another. But, Kimmy may be a bit young. I have two cats that hide when they see children until they feel safe and cautiously make an appearance. ~~~ : -) Thank you for reading Sandra and commenting. Have a good weekend … Isadora 😎

    They’ll hopefully get used to cats ambivalent attitude to play time!

    Very fitting because we know the owner of this cat can be very mean.
