writing prompt friday: when whiskers rustle

I live with a cat. Her name is Henwen. I am her devoted servant and minion. She owns me and knows it. Over the last 10 years, I’ve learned that while she’s a sweetie little sweetheart of a precious sweetie 90 percent of the time. That other 10 percent…damn. She’s full kitty.

Which brings us to a new writing prompt…

Beware when whiskers rustle.

Feel free to share your result in the comments. (Only if you want to though; no pressure.)

Yours, The Ducky
