Loved this story! This line really stuck with me, "I think I loved him from the moment that fat finger hit the floor." :)

This was so well written. Every line is teaming in character! Something I didn’t know I needed, and I’m glad I read it.

There was a point I think about halfway in where I suddenly thought 'ah - they're cats aren't they?'. But no, I'm guessing they are in fact human.

It's still a great little story though. I really liked it.

I love the idea of them being cats. Maybe something for another tale. 😸
