Sorry, all I have are fives. Very well done. You should have posted this in the "Animal Crackers" Club. I'd write one but I'm not as good as you! Two small concerns: I have a difficult time, sometimes on this site. You have to play at times with the fonts. Yours changed, but not too significantly, through the story. Also, very small
Now perplexed he ran straight to the little girl's room-commas needed after perplexed. Now, that's nitpicking. If your friends don't tell you, who will?:

There are many glitches on this site. Fortunately, I love a good challenge!

What a fun and entertaining story, and since I'm a big sucker for happy endings, I could have liked your ending better. Good writing. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Cats are natural born detectives, and they are excellent snakers. Nothing gets by them. I like how you wrote from Murphy's viewpoint. Very brave boy.

You are so kind with your 6 star review. I enjoyed writing this tale!
Comment from tfawcus
What I like best about this is the authenticity of your description of the cat's movements and actions. Telling the story from Murphy's point of view also works well to put your readers right in the middle of the action.
A couple of typos:
"We got super sharpe claws and neddle point teeth,"
and
chipmonks/chipmunks
I enjoyed reading this.

Comment from jmdg1954
Well it looks like all the reviewers did there job as I'm doing mine and all they received was a "thank you".
This post is a very good flash fiction piece, it's simply one of my pet be peeves when the reviewer may not even leave looked or read the review.
Best luck in the contest.

Thanks for taking the time to read!
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Very cute story.
The kitchen is the best place to start he thought. - You need a comma after 'start'.
I'm not sure why you changed the font half way into the story. (and then changed back for the last sentence.
Best wishes.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this cute little story about a determined kitty. I love that once they knew there was danger afoot, he went on the lookout to protect his humans.
Well done,

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
"Everything was in placed" - PLACE
"he return to the family room" - RETURNED
"Murphy licked Jessie head again" - JESSIE'S
I have always had cats, so I appreciated this tale of Murphy's. You think of cats as not being standoffish, but they really do care about their people and other pets in the house.
Thanks for the fun story; you could also call it "Murphy the Hero".
Take care,
Pam

Murphy, our hero!
What a fun read to see the animals come to life and how they too worry about their humans. A wonderful story to teach children a lesson too.
A few typo errors and spelling, which you might want to correct. Though the story was quite enjoyable.
