I loathe the beasts, gypsycaravan, but you could probably guess that by my story, LOL. I am very grateful for your kind comments and very encouraging review, my friend. Be well!~:D

Fun play on words with the cat's meow. LOL I am a cat lover, but this made even me laugh. :-) You depict this couple's bizarre relationship well, and get inside the neglected husband's sick mind effectively. Talk about resentment and revenge!! :-) Brooke

Thanks a bunch, Gargantuan2. For me, no editing required is a very good thing, LOL.

Great "last laugh" story.

Cat lovers are sure to shiver in horror from your story, but cat haters - and I know a few - will be cheering your main character on.

Ah ha, you discovered my deep, dark secret, AAud. Appeal to people on both sides of the fence, and you'll have a better chance in the contest. Dang it. Now I am going to have to come up with a new & improved strategy, LOL.

All kidding aside, I am very grateful for your encouraging review, my friend!

Uuuurgh! Truly horrible - well done, you truly got the surprise horror element in there. I thought the surprise would be the cat getting killed, so you did well to land a bigger surprise on your readers.

Thanks very much, MisinformedPoet, and I was so glad to hear you say that the ending came as a bit of a surprise to you. That is so very important in flash fiction, especially when it involves telling a horror tale.

Thanks so much again. I really appreciate it!

Eeewe! I hope you caught him shortly after the incident - Cat makes for a very stringy meat, takes hours to tenderize it sufficiently. Lambrusco, or Valpolicella blend in the wine?

Devils Food cake for dessert I assume.

LOL - good write :-)

Lambrusco, most definitely, Lorraine, LOL. Lots of meat tenderizers and seasoning as well. I've eaten cat before when I was stationed in Korea, but I didn't know it was cat meat until it was too late. I nearly lost it all, if you get my drift.

Thanks so much for your encouraging review, my friend. I went a little light-handed on this one.

This is a really good horror story. At first I thought you really killed a cat. I have 7 cats of my own and they are so dear to me. Good luck in the contest. Hugs, Teri

Thank you very much, Teri.

My wife and daughter love cats, and we have six (one of them is mine, a pure black one I named Midnight, but he acts more like a dog), but I'm more of a dog person, through and through. If I did something like this to my own wife, it would be ME they'd be serving up next for supper!

Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging review.

I wrote something about my seven cats. I adore them. Hugs, Teri

Hi!

This was so danged funny ... although a little poignant. But gosh dang, that's the ultimate revenge! You had me on the edge of my seat, wondering how the narrator was going to get even. That's the last thing I anticipated!

I like being surprised! Loved your little tale!

MEOW!!!!

Hah ha, thanks so much, ProSongwriter. I'm really glad you enjoyed the dark humor in this tale of a pet lovers ultimate nightmare.

Much obliged for the encouraging review, my friend.

It was, indeed, my pleasure!

Comment from J Patience

Good

Truly unfair to give a cat bacon and eggs. "Pearls before swine" comes to mind. Cats always seem too entitled to really deserve anything. I know mine is. While feeding the cat to the wife is horrid, most of the story didn't inspire fear or mystery or horror in me. The play on "cat's meow" is ironic and a nice touch. I think, however, that there could have been more emotion emoted in the number of words afforded.
