Post #72 – Women’s Memoirs, Writing Prompt – Kendra Bonnett and Matilda Butler
Sammy as a kitten.
Although, technically, Matilda and I wrapped up our memoir writing 11 in 11 yesterday, I have one bonus list for you today. As some of you know, I have cats. Three of them: Sabrina is my “first born” (yes, you can tell I don’t have kids). She’s a beautiful, sleek Bengal. Smart. Loving. Reliable. Athletic…even now as she closes in on 19. She loves water, which is not your typical cattly behavior. She loves to jump in the shower as I’m getting out and stomp around in the little puddles. Sabrina’s also a talker; I’m afraid she takes after her mother.
Samantha is a prim and proper British Blue Shorthair. Her tail is a little stub of a thing; quite embarrassing, really. But her plush, blue-gray coat makes up for her nothing of a tail. It’s thick and warm and doesn’t shed. Sammy usually keeps her thoughts to herself…except when she’s hungry. When I’m late to the feeding, she screams and carries on like a Boston fishwife. I’m glad I don’t understand everything she says; I’m sure I’d blush. Although she’s maintained her figure into her 18th year, it’s not by choice. I’m sure that if those little paws could open the refrigerator door or manage a can opener she’d be as wide as she is long. [click to continue…]
