Based on true events

A story by Louis Catorze’s human cousin Azalea, aged 7

One day, a cow-cat called Roux had an idea, an amazing idea indeed. But first she had a sad sleep in a lonely box, waiting for her cubs to come back. 

Even an upended box is good.

She slept through the night, and when she awoke: “THUD!” Waiting all day, baking in the sun, and then she heard it again.

Feeding time!

“Yum yum yum!” She came down the stairs, then waited some more, and then she munched up her food with a bit of a yawn. But when she started to leave, she saw AN OPEN CUPBOARD! DREAMIES GALORE! 

When she pushed and she pulled, there it was. Something better than anything else. She clawed and she bit, and opened up the pack. But soon it all came back up: “Blech!” 

She was halfway through the second bag but then someone stopped it all. A big, cat-feasting giant: HER DAD. 

Roux on her favourite cushion.

About the author: Azalea lives on the south coast with her parents, her big sister, and cats Otis and Roux. Azalea likes baking and gardening, and her favourite school subject is English.

      Roux is stunning. Sadly she is also evil.

    Azalea seems really gifted. Congratulations on her way of writing. I love the expression « cow-cat I had never met before. And I love the first picture which perfectly shows the cat’s sadness.

    Good work Azalea! (The first time I read this, I missed that Azalea was a human cousin and assumed she was a cat.) I think my misunderstanding demonstrates how well she captured the feline voice in her narrative. Well done!

      I think she identifies as part-cat. 🤣🤣🤣

      Too smart for her own good: she’s the one who got trapped in next door’s attic for 3 days!
