I remember in days of misspent youth drinking fairly large quantities of an awful Hungarian wine called Bull's Blood. Cat's Blood is quite another matter, doubtless in comparison, purr-fectly smooth but with a sharp finish to it. De-feline-itely an acquired taste.

Gee, Dean, this put me off my stew. I'm feline hungry and next's thing you pull this creepy trick on your poor unsuspecting wife, and now, paw me can't even face a plate of Whiskas. This has your trademark ghoulish sense of humour mixed in with a truly diabolical plot. Amazing storytelling for so few words when you think about it. I was left with an impending sense of: What will the wife say when the cat's absence is noticed?

Congrats on the horror cat's story win. You are the Fanstorian master of this genre.

Wow, this is the ultimate horror story. It is a winner for sure. I can't say I truly enjoyed it, but it was well-written. I can see you wringing the cat's neck, but really..... Miss Sally

Yeah, it would be my ultimate horror if something like this happened to one of my three dogs. They are like my kids. I often write about things that terrify me most. I figure if it scares me, then it is bound to scare everyone else, LOL.

Thanks so much for your review, angelface2. I do appreciate it.

Cat meat is absolutely awful crap unless he's been neutered for a few months. Freezing and pressure cooking helps a little. I think it's worse than possum. Nice story.

Thanks, LIJ Red. I appreciate the review.

I got the pleasure of eating cat when I was stationed in South Korea back in the 80's with the Marine Corps. It was kinda' tough and stringy, like jerkey, but had a decent flavor. maybe it was all of the hot sauces they used, who can say? My friends tricked me into eating it on a stick, buying it from a street vendor and not telling me what it was until it was too late. They had shishkabobs too, but theirs was chicken... or so they thought, heh-heh...

Now, that was very funny. I don't know if it will put a damper on my sense of humor... but if it does, i really feel sorry for you. Lol. Nevertheless, you did your thing with this short story. Your on fire!

Ha ha, thanks a million, TB! I don't know if I'm on fire, but I'm very flattered that you feel that way, at least.

I'm really glad you liked the dark humor in this one, and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts with me about it.

Much obliged, my friend!:]

I like the implication that it was the cat he served up for that special meal.

The simplicity of the plot and the story told in so few words did it for me.

Worthy of a six in my opinion. :) mel.

Oh, this surely is the ultimate horror for those who love their pets! Truly gross. I just love the picture you chose to accompany this horrific little tale too. Good luck in the contest.

Eeeewww! Poor mangy cat, indeed! Great story, though until wifey finds out, then, Katy bar the door!

This is a great presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Hah, yeah, I'm sure it wouldn't be pretty, Jax. I'd probably hope she'd figured it simply ran off, or was stolen, but I sure as heck would never tell her what I'd done.

Thanks for the great review.

That was a very good read. I've heard tell that cat is considered the other "white meat'. What else can I say, it would be hard not to choose this entry as the winner. Wonderfully told.

Thanks so much, Victor. I'm really glad you liked this twisted tale of feline fondue, LOL. I do appreciate it!

Well, as Hannibal Lecter once said, "We should try everything at least once". You are most welcome.

Ha ha, yes, he did say that, didn't he. I love Hannibal, LOL...
