Cat

“Hey did you guys hear that,” whispered Gilbert. Kris, Arnold, Gilbert, and I heard a loud screech. We all thought that there was a cat probably outside, so we did not pay that much attention to it. It was about 6:30 PM, and we were home alone using our phones and cachinnating in my room. Like about twenty minutes later, we heard a holler. It was getting weird because we heard it close and all of us were petrified except for Gilbert, and he was not scared at all. We thought that it was him…

Afghanistan, for roughly a week when a cat caught his attention. The day he appeared from behind a concrete barrier trailing blood from an injured paw, Knott decided to take action.

The cat inches through the open window with ease. The long black cat strides through the hospital. Its sleek fur shining on the cold moon filled night. Door to door, deciding his next victim. Room 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The endless rooms he passes by. He takes no interest in any. The cat roams through the massive building to find one room. A plaque next to the door reads room 343, Steve rodriguez. The cat walks into the room to see a man about the age of 71. He is laying down and hears the cat. He…

PURRPETUAL MOTION Question: if you buttered the back of a cat, which way down would it land? Law 1: The Laws of Butterology demand that the butter must hit the ground. Law 2: The equally strict Laws of Feline Aerodynamics demand that the cat cannot smash its furry back - it must land on its feet. If the combined constructed of cat + butter were to land, nature would have no way to resolve this paradox (or purradox). Therefore it cannot fall. When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its…

Kathi Appelt (2008) begins with a small, very pregnant, calico cat abandoned by her family, left to die on the side of the road.
