Christine at Stine Writing is our hostess for this, a challenge I have recently discovered and enjoying immensely.  You can join in too by clicking here

Oh, I hope I’m safe.
I’ve tried so hard to please, but now it’s got beyond a joke. Why can’t she pick on the dog?
Oh, yeah, right. She did and he fell over not being used to having two opposite legs in splints, so actually ended up seeing the White Coat and having one put in plaster for real.
Course he got lots of sympathy and extra treats, plus my favourite cushion!
Then she turned her beady eye, grubby little hands and attention on me.
I squirmed and twisted, but she wasn’t having any of it and soon I was dressed in a pink onsie and lacy cardigan. I tell ya, my paws ain’t meant to bend that way, but did she listen? Nah.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, I got pushed round in a pram to be shown off to all her pals. The guys and gals in the neighbourhood catcalled and meowed as we passed and I tried to take cover under the ribboned bonnet she’d stuck on my head.  I high tailed it out of there as soon as we got home and hid here.
Please don’t let her find me. I’ve already lost my street cred, can’t I keep a little self respect? I’ve seen the gleam in her eye, the scissors and the curling tongs. Dammit, doesn’t she know I’m a Tom!
