I love this story! I love the compassion within it, as the parents try to teach their children, and the cat lady has more going on than it seems from the outset. :)
It also reminded me vaguely of a story I read long ago in a Sword and Sorceress anthology, about a woman who adopted all the orphaned familiars of other witches and wizards... I don't even remember what that story was called, but there are nuances here that reminded me of it. I love it when I read a story that reminds me of another because I think all stories have connections.

Thatβs such a sweet story. And the twist is so matter-of-factly delivered, it gave me chills. Also, Iβm really intrigued by this cat lady now, sounds like she has a great back story.
Thanks. I usually have no idea where these stories will go even though they are only 200 words. I get a prompt and see what happens. I'll have to think on her back story now.
I'm actually more a dog person, but I'm open for ANY pet, really.
Thanks for reading.
I love cats and people who love them!
I agree!
What a fun twist! I'm gonna share your story tomorrow for Caturday on Twitter.
I hadn't even thought of Caturday when I wrote this!

This was a fun read!
Thanks! It was a fun write.
You can't leave it at this! It demands more!
LOL I feel like it does, like each shifter there has a story to tell. I'll have to think on it. Or maybe other writers can join in if inspired.
There is way more to know about this woman's past ... interesting set up.
I agree. I think everyone there has an interesting past. I'll have to see if I can get my muse to cooperate.
Love that the characters get to decide!
Always!
This story made me smile. I love it.
Thanks! I think it's in my top five favorites I've written.
Poll is closed, but I'd have voted for Underdogs.
That may pop up eventually in my stack. π
