Bond

She looked down at the creature, struggling pathetically beneath her claws.

She had seen this mouse often enough, skittering around the back yard. Never walking, only ever running. It would however, occasionally stop dead, lift its ugly little nose and sniff. This, before scampering away again at great speed. However, this loathsome creature, loathsome but no doubt tasty, had made the mistake of coming around the corner of the house at such a rate of knots that coming face to face with she who was waiting, could do nothing but career strait into the soft fluff of her belly. She had simply been lazing, the way cats do, but on this particular morning, in the right place at the right time. Just because she could… she tightened her grip.

The mouse squeaked. β€œOh! Not so hard. Please!”

β€œHah! You’re in no…” whispered the cat.

β€œPosition?” the mouse broke in.

β€œYes. Position.” Said the cat. “You’re in no position to tell me what to do.”

β€œYes, I am!” Came the indignant reply.

The cat moved its head from side to side. β€œYou can believe that if you like, but you’re not.”

The mouse looked up into the catβ€˜s eyes with a resolute determination, and went on. β€œOn the contrary, I would say that considering the circumstances in which I find myself at this very moment, my request is a perfectly reasonable one. Besides, I was not telling you what to do at all… I was only asking. Nothing more.

The cat relaxed its hold, just a little. β€œWell,” she purred, β€œaren’t we the feisty one.”

β€œI have to be, don’t I?”

β€œOh! Really? Why is that?”

The mouse wriggled herself into a more comfortable position. β€œI have to be,” she repeated, β€œI’m a mother.”

β€œOoh!” Said the cat. β€œHow many?”

β€œTwo.”

β€œYuck! Two more horrible little creatures.”

The mouse’s eyes widened. β€œThey’re not horrible, they’re both quite beautiful.”

The cat thought about that and asked, β€œBoys or girls?”

β€œOne of each.”

β€œHusband?”

β€œDead.”

β€œTraffic accident… cat?”

β€œDog.”

The cat relaxed a little, but couldn’t think why. β€œNo husband, now. It doesn’t work that way with us.” Her eyes clouded over. β€œKittens; three. All gone. Given away.”

The mouse said, β€œSorry.”

They both just lay there for a while. Neither fully understanding the thoughts that were running through the other’s mind.

Slowly, the cat lifted its paw.

The mouse rose up without hurry and shook itself off. It made its way along the wall of the house until it came to the crevice. It glanced back, then disappeared.

The cat went back to sleep.

  15. Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!
