Considering I am still floating three feet off the ground, I probably have no business reviewing, but I am tired of sleeping so I will give it my best shot. I guess I missed a few posts so I am going to try to catch up. Yuck! I can see why this won the contest. Great entry for this book. I got a real kick out of this one. You give a whole new meaning to 'revenge'.

Yeah, my wife hates this one because she adores cats. I, on the other hand, am strictly a dig guy. Opposites really do attract you know. She watches comedies and comedy romance movies, I watch movies like Sinister, Insidious and The Exorcist. She likes salads, I like pizza. Total opposites.

That being said, you can see why I chose a cat as my victim instead of a dog. Eat dog!?! Heaven forbid! LOL...

Thanks so much again for the review. ;) ~Dean

Dean: if I read any more of these today, I will lock myself in my bedroom, board up my window and hide in my closet where there are no cats, dolls nor creepy things! However, I'm hooked now, you have placed the intrigue and need for gory, horrifying stories into my bloodstream and I can't live without . . . oh, no . . . you are one of your own scary characters! Heh, heh, heh; I figured it out! Linda

That's exactly the sort of reaction I wanted the book to elicit from those who cared enough to give it the ole college try, Linda. So thanks for confirming for me that, for you at least, it works. No reason a horror story can't be short and scary, if the author's careful and crafts it properly.

I really am grateful to you for all of your feedback. That is invaluable to me. ~Dean ;)

Poor cat! The only one who has a problem is the husband. Why get jealous of the cat? Why compete with the cat?

Hello my friend! Why I have missed reading this? Hehe Better cast my stars than never... c", Mae

It was entered into a blind contest, c", Mae, so you not have received a notification that I posted it. It's just one of the many pitfalls of entering into a contest. No one knows who you are, or that you've posted something new.

But, I'm happy you had an opportunity to read it now, and I am very grateful for your kind comments and six stars. We are allowed so few to award authors. I feel doubly blessed each time I'm fortunate enough to receive one.

Thanks again, c', Mae, and Pleasant Screams, heh-heh-heh... ;)

This was posted 'before my time' so I am just catching it now! I enjoyed this one and the revenge aspect reminded me of the old Vincent Price starrer 'Theatre of Blood'

Nicely written and good tone. Wryly funny.

I didn't vote on this one, but glad you won. It's difficult to read all entries in all the prompts and decide which one to vote for and then last night half way through reading entries, it was cut off. But congratulations Dean. Best writer on this site besides a few nameless others.

Well, thank you very much, Drew, I'm very flattered you feel that way. You're right, it is hard to read all of the entries, and then leave a review. I usually read the ones I feel would interest me, and skim the others. There simply isn't enough time in the day.

Thanks so much again for your review and the nice compliment. :D

you are most welcome, Dean.

Will you be taking up a job at the nearby Chinese takeout place soon? You might make a good fit. Pretty descriptive destruction of the cat. I'm guessing you're not a cat person? Enjoyed the fast-paced entertainment.

You can catch me every Thursday evening at Mahn Hung Lo, for the dinner buffet special.

I make a mean Chow Mien!

Thanks for that catch, Dan. I appreciate it. And you're right, I love dogs, and loathe cats. Unless they're cooked just right, of course. Heh-heh-heh...

this is very well written, dean, this gives a different meaning to "cat food" I think PETA might get hold of you and find out where you live, lol. congrats on the win.

I can read SOME horror, but when children and pets are harmed, I draw a bloody line at acceptance. I would have preferred to see him feed the wife to the cat, frankly... much less predictable, too. LOL!

Ha, yeah, you're probably right. However, I often try to write about the things that terrify me the most, which usually relates well to most everyone else. I mean, c'mon, if it scares me, then it is bound to scare anyone else, or that's how I look at it at least. I have seen some freaky sh!t, and I'm not easily scared.

I couldn't think of anything more sickening or terrifying at the time than someone feeding one of my pets (who are like my children) to me without my knowledge. It must've worked, I did pretty well with it.

Nasty... I may try this with my ex-wife's Dachshund. (I hear they make great sausages). I loved the story. It was direct and with a diabolical laugh at the end. Now if you will excuse me, I think my Hamster has wandered off. Maybe permanently.

Ha ha, Bill, I gotta' hand it to you. You're a funny guy, and I laughed all the way through your review, so thanks for that.

I own 2 miniature Dachshunds, a male and a female, and the female had one litter of pups. 5 puppies, to be exact, and you're right, they do make excellent sausages, when seasoned properly, heh-heh.

Thanks for the very entertaining review.~
