Cissi and Cassy - 'We know where...' - Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus - Week 91

Welcome to Mrs. Jenny Matlock's Saturday Centus week 91, from one week ago. SC is a writing challenge in which participants are asked to write a text with a given prompt, using only 100 or less words, not including the prompt, which this week is 'We know where all the bodies are buried'. To read Jenny's instructions scroll down past my text. But first, here is my text:

------

Cissi and Cassy were taken to the country for a weekend romp. They have climbed a tree.

'Cissi, you know you'll never catch one of those,' laughed Cassy licking a paw.' You need wings to catch birds!'

'Oh Cassy, let me at least try.' moaned Cissi, swatting her paw at a sparrow that just barely escaped her.

'You know why we're here.'

'Yeah. We're supposed to catch mice in the barn not birds in the garden.'

'Yes, and we know where all the bodies are buried.'

'Oh Cassy! You didn't buried them for later?'

'Why not? Squirrels do it.'

'Yuck!'

------

Word count: 108

Welcome to week ninety-one of Saturday Centus.

Hi! Are we all good? I know you think I'm going to be evil and keep making you do other writing devices around the cliff hanging prompt...

But I'm not.

Because I'm really, really being nice this week.

And because Miss Nonna at Tasty Tales sent me some prompts to use...

...which means my brain can officially take the day off.

Again.

So...

THE PROMPT THIS WEEK (THANK YOU NONNA!) IS: We know where all the bodies are buried
WORD COUNT - 100 words total PLUS the eight words of the prompt...108 words total
STYLE OF WRITING - Any
ADDITIONAL PICTURES IF DESIRED

The regular restrictions apply: PG, no splitting of the prompt, play nicely and visit the other entries, any style or genre of writing you prefer.

Please display my link button or just a hyper-link back to Saturday Centus. Be careful to link your SC URL to the Linky and not just link to your main blog.

E-mail me directly with ???'s or ask your question in a comment and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

Feel free to link up anytime between now and next Saturday!

Living with five cats # 2: Pelle Cat is offered a new home

Claim-token for TECHNORATI: R4GRD9ZDH6SU

This is our tuxedo-boy, Pelle Cat, in one of his favourite hang-outs, atop of my bedroom wardrobe.

Yesterday, Wednesday February first, when we we still recovering from the little adventure with 'Houdini the Cat', a man called in response to my newspaper ad about our tuxedo-boy, Pelle. He was interested in meeting Pelle. He and his two boys came over that same evening to look at him. They had a carrier and took him home with them.

We have given this family a week's trial, to get to know Pelle-boy before we make it final by writing to the Swedish Kennel Club reporting a transfer of ownership for Pelle's number on his ID-chip.

This photo was taken a couple of months ago when I first breached the subject of selling one or two of the kittens.

Elisabet was/is weepy and sad. Erik made sure to tell them that we want to keep in touch with them and visit Pelle several times a year. Sounds good. They had nothing against that. They liked the idea that if they needed help with Pelle, they can call on us.

I'll miss Pelle though. Sure. He'll grow and change, even if it won't be as much as Sara Cat's siblings, considering that he is almost grown. (The kittens were born on the 5th of April 2011. To read an account that eventful night go to this page and this page, and especially this page.) The kittens may even remember each other. Sara's brothers and sisterwent to different homes when they were about twelve to thirteen weeks old, and probably would not remember each other today. We once took Sara to where her sister and one of her brothers lived and she was so afraid of that new place that she just ran and hid under their living-room sofa.

One less cat makes it easier to keep up with the litter-boxes. As I am now the only adult living here, I am also the only one who cleans and refills these toilet-boxes, at least twice a day. I am also the only one who makes sure that there is food and fresh water available.

Hope Pelle is behaving himself right now. I hope they are kind to him.

Pelle's brother, Peep, wanders about the apartment looking for something. He is calling out in a strange voice and is looking up at all of the high places where Pelle usually perches. Maybe Peep misses his brother. It seems so.

As you can see, Pelle Cat is a climber.

Today is my brother's birthday. Happy birthday, Nils, if you read this. I love you.

Best wishes,
Anna
