Based on true events 

A story by Louis Catorze’s human cousin Eva, aged 9

*WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC REFERENCES TO MURDER.*

DAY 1

Hour 1:  silence. The cats still aren’t home. I honestly can’t believe my life is to sit and sit, alerting motion, and how much do I get paid? Nothing. Not a fart. Now I’ll wait until motion.

Hour 2: nothing. 

Hour 3: now I can year snuffling, and – OH GOODNESS. Those felines are playing with something! Phew. My cables are still in. 

DAY 2 

I haven’t been writing lately. After what I saw yesterday I’ve been in recovery. Don’t even ask me what happened. 

Wow! You have a way of getting things out of me.

At around midnight I saw – and heard – Roux (the white feline with the rather big behind) eating something. But I woke up, ready to have another boring day, when I saw it. One single gut. At first I thought it was some jam that one of their careless human slaves had dropped on my floor. But no. A single, bloody gut. The victim of one of the felines.

What do you mean, “rather big behind”?
Roux, taking a break from murder.

So I alerted the giant and he came straight away, beaming with pride, but no! I don’t even get any credit. It’s all: “Oohh, I came down the stairs and I found this gut”. Honestly, they might as well be saying “This camera is a waste of money and space”. 

Wait – am I a waste of money and space?

    Hmm…maybe Catorze’s humans should invest in such a camera system.

      Oh God … some things are probably better not to know!

    Your two nieces are skilled at telling stories and choosing pictures to illustrate them. At 9 and 7, it is remarkable and it is kind of you to encourage them 😺.

      Thank you! They both love writing, and they have cats who are always doing silly things, so it’s the perfect recipe!

    This niece has a true gift for the horror genre. I can’t put my finger on why a single gut is so much creepier than a bunch of guts, but it absolutely is.

      I know what you mean! A single one just means the killer was clever enough to do a fairly respectable disposal job, and nobody wants a clever killer.
