From my current WIP Tattered Angel Coming October 16
A little more than six sentences this week:
“Well,
if you guys are gonna waste time, I’ll get the first shower then,” Riley
grumbled, moving to squeeze past them when a soft meow caught his
attention. A fluffy gray and white cat, looking barely half-grown, preened
beneath the hands that were rubbing its ears and running fingertips down its
back. The little thing let out a tiny sneeze, then went about licking its paw
and grooming its whiskers while the guys lavished attention on it.
“Where’d
the cat come from?” he asked, as he reached over Damien’s shoulder to pet the
little ball of floof.
“Stepped
outta the club and it was standin’ there meowin’ a greeting at us,” Zakk
explained. “Damien scooped it up to check for a collar, and it decided to cling
to his jacket until he brought it inside.”
“It
seems to be a foregone conclusion that the fluffy little beast is a stray,”
Damien said.
“So,
what, are we planning on giving it a ride to the pound or…”
“We’re
plannin’ on makin’ it our mascot,” Zakk replied, scratching its ears until the
little kitty began to purr.
“Who
ever heard of a cat on a tour bus,” Riley muttered, and yet, its fur was so
soft he couldn’t resist petting it more.
“Cats,
dogs, birds, fish, I know guys who have taken bearded dragons and boa
constrictors on tour with them,” Dez muttered. “She’s adorable.”
“How
do you know it’s a she?” Riley asked.
Dez
raised its tail a little and pointed, “’Cause she don’t have nuts.”

Cats do seem to choose their people, don't they? :)
ReplyDeleteyes they sure do.
DeleteAww, love the description of the cat, and how while they're discussing her fate, she gets on with the important business of washing.

ReplyDeleteI know, right, she just wandered onto the page :)
