I bet Ginger is laughing. He's comfortably inside while the human who pulled his tail and the one who let it happen hide in the bushes. My cats are terrified of storms. They hide under the covers in my bed as soon as the thunder starts. I guess Ginger is a lot braver than they are.

This is a very good entry for the contest. Good luck. I took care of cats for over 40 years and I can certainly relate to Ginger!. Since we did not have children, only cats, our cats were uneasy around youngsters. This is posted as fiction, but sure sounds like a few elements of truth. Good Job.

I love this short story. Of course, I would being as how I am a confirmed cat lady. I can see where a cat might do something like that. I don't blame her either as the kid pulled her tail. Nothing a cat hates worse. LOL This is truly a cute story and should do well in the contest. Good luck.

You see, that is why I do not trust cats to this very day. For most of my life I have had a rather rocky relationship with cats. during an early part of my life, circumstances forced me to live with my grandmother and her house full of cats. Those cats made my life miserable, and to make matters worse, my grandmother always sided with the cats against me. New circumstances some 70 years later, my great grand daughter and her family are living temporarily with me and guess what, the one cat she talked me into allowing her to add to the household has magically turned into the mom and four kittens. I tell you, I do not trust cats.

I enjoyed this and it did make me smile, when they turned to head back indoors I thought it was going to be a case that grandpa had locked them selves out so the fact that Ginger was inside grinning at them was a great finale. Kooky.

You have a good story here with a neat twist at the end. You do, however, need to change your paragraphing. When one person is speaking or doing something, that makes a paragraph. Also, the boy is outside so don't have the rain coming down heavily. "Not being . . . By now . . . He froze . . ." and "With Tommie . . ." all belong in same paragraph. Divide "Ginger . . . Ginger's run . . . " and "No, he's not . . ." into 3 paragraphs. Best of luck with this story.

This is a humorous story in that the cat has the last (and only) laugh. He's inside looking out at the two humans who have to wait out the storm under a tree. I'm assuming the back door is locked and Grandpa doesn't have a key to get back in. I hope when the storm is over he can find a key to the front door. Otherwise, he'll be outside a long time. Best wishes in the contest.

Great story...loved this. You have made Grandpa so real, I swear I could smell my Grandpa's 'backy. Oh, what a memory - thank you. This story is told just as should be...with nostalgia and plain language. I could see Kitty sitting in that window! Best of luck in the contest. A lovely write.
