This certainly was straight from some sort of horror movie. It really was an excellent entry for the contest. A very good short horror story that would turn any cats milk sour as we say in England. A brilliant plot with a very good crafted story done in so fe words. It certainly turned my stomach when his wife sat down to a gourmet meal of her cat. Genya

    Thanks so much, Genya, and that is exactly the type of response a horror story should elicit from its readers. Cold chills and night terrors are great as well, heh-heh...

    Thanks so much for your review.~

Loved the imagery seen when Monica enjoyed her meal and her comment too. This was written well and although it was a horror, I liked the humour laced in it. Revenge is sweet. the story is a good contest entry.

I'm a cat lover so I have a few reservations. That being said, nothing could be more horrid than eating one. Even buzzards won't eat cats.

    You gotta' season them right, seaglass. Lots of garlic, some butter -- real butter, not that margarine crap! --some fresh basil and cloves...

    I unkowingly ate cat in South Korea when I was stationed there in the Marine Corps. Ain't too shabby, actually.

    Thanks for your kind review, and I love all animals, except for cats!

    Yuk...I'm very cautious eating in other countries. If I notice no stray animals around I take it as a clue to go vegetation. lol

This is a very strong contest entry. I can't say I enjoyed reading it because I am an animal lover and actually own three cats. I do have to say it's been my experience that male cats are sweet lovers and female cats are little witches. Needless to say I prefer the males. Good luck with the contest.

    Thanks, Barbara, and I am an animal lover too. yet, there are some people out there who care about as much for their animals as they do an ant crawling on the ground. And, I often write about the things that horrify me most. I could not think of anything more horrific at the time than being tricked into eating one of my own pets.

    Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging review, my friend.

I have to confess that sometimes I hate the way my husband cuddles his cats more than he does me. I liked the sweet revenge but I felt sorry for Monica. Great story.

    Thanks so much for the great review, JM. After I wrote it, I kinda' felt sorry for Fabio and Monica too. Oh, if I just could have written her tale of revenge as a response to what he did. Hey...maybe I will! :}
reply by JM on 13-Aug-2014
    You do that. I am curious about how Monica would revenge Fabio. What a sexy name for a cat. LOL

Excellent story. You surprised me. After you threw him out the window, I expected him to get even with you. Then there was the surprise ending with her eating her pet cat. Great story.

Oh my God, you the pooer cat? No, just kidding. Wouldn't all at some point like to do this to little woman's cat. Nice twist at the end, I would say I wonder what cat taste like, but unconsciously I proabably know as eat at a lot of Chineses reaustarants. Good entry for the contest and good luck.

    Ha, thanks for the fun and entertaining review, sibhus. I truly appreciate that!

    I ate cat once when I was stationed in South Korea with the Marine Corps (Semper Fi!), but I did not know what I was eating at the time. A cruel trick played on me by one of my "friends", LOL. Actually, it ain't half bad!:}

Lol thus is amusing.

What I don't understand is why you strangled your cat yourself when you could have had your wife do it for you?

    Never would've happened, Erik. She would have gladly strangled me first, Mwa-ha-ha-a-a-a-a....

    Thanks for the review!

So like Hitchcock with a bit of King.....my mother would never eat at Chinese restaurants because she was told, as a child, the meat was from cats. Tastes just like chicken. I'm lucky if I can get through the rice. Nice end twist - you turned it at the last second. Good luck in the contest. AT=/

    Thanks very much, Jean. King AND Hicthcock? What a wonderful compliment, one of the best I've ever had!

    I'm really glad that you enjoyed my horror shortie. Thanks again!~

This story is dear to me as cat deaths are always good news. The idea of having a cat owner eat her cat is scrumptious. Somehow, feline felonies are understandable and forgivable.

    Aren't they, Bill? I loathe cats myself, hence my reasons for choosing a cat over a dog. But, you probably figured that out already, heh-heh...

    Thanks so much for the encouraging review, my friend. Much obliged!~
