Let sleeping cats lie

Posted on November 16, 2021 by pensitivity101

Christine at Stine Writing has given us this picture to work with for her Simply Six Minutes challenge this week.
She came bearing gifts to The Cat God, the one who resided over the Valley of Steeples.
She had to tread carefully as the waters were not always shallow, but The Cat God did not like to be awakened too early from his slumber.
She stood up past her knees in the holy waters, flanked either side by churches and cathedrals built over the centuries in His honour. It was believed he toyed with them as playthings when the mood took him. Those that displeased him had turned brown and barren in a forest of green turrets.
Her mission was to deposit her precious cargo and leave silently.
Her problem was she was allergic to cats.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    Di, it won’t give me a reblog option! Did WP do away with it for some reason? It happened once last week too!
