I was thinking of getting a cat less than an hour ago, but now…I might need to rethink my life choices. Amazing story!

This is amazing, so vivid I could hear the cats tongue licking the socket clean. I guess my new favorite genre now is cat horror.

Thanks for reading, Will! That means a lot. Not gonna lie, I was like, “maybe I’m just a cat author now.” I cut a bunch of stuff out of this one because I didn’t want it to be like 8k words but I have a full-on cat protagonist in me

I'd be down to read a 500 page novel about this cat

I have definitely considered expanding. I wasn’t really expecting her to turn into the monster she did at the end and I’m still curious what she’s out there doing with her newfound power

I can't believe you convinced my cat Onyx to tell you this story... his life before us was pretty crazy, huh? You nailed his memoir🫡

(In all seriousness this was delightful. The eyeball scene somehow made me hungry?)

Haha. Thank you for reading! It’s funny because my mom was like, “Odin (one of my cats) would absolutely eat you if you died.” Which, definitely. And fair play to him.

Also, that is hilarious about the eyeball scene. I love that

Wow, I really enjoyed this, Jimmy. The details and POV really carried me through this piece all the way to the end. It might be my love for cats and horror, but this is my favorite story of this kind I've ever read.

Thank you, Tiffany! It’s funny. I was thinking non-cat people would be like, “what the fuck?” and cat people would be like, “fuck yeah.” Haha.
