No Brother of Mine
A pet's vision27 total reviews
Comment from Jean Lutz
Sure looks like a winner to me. This has been a long relationship told well from the feline's point of view. Some parts spooked me and I hope it is not prophetic. I have what I hope is temporary custody of my grandson's cat. I surely hope she doesn't decide to write. Best wishes with your entry.

Good luck on that temporary thing. Katy is an exceptional cat and all I did was write down what she told me. she probably would have typed herself, but as she reminded me, she is in desperate need of a manicure.
Thanks for the stars.
Comment from Nosha17
Written with such disdain, typical of a haughty cat! Excellent wit and very much from a cat's elevated view of the world. I enjoyed the cat's analysis of his mistress! She has a black box like me. Tony is definitely the bottom of her brother's list! Most enjoyable and good luck in the contest. One thing, in Para 6, I think you meant 'averse to'. Faye

Thanks so much. I'll go back to that word.

This would make a darling video with talking cats. Cats with major attitudes, I might add. What next? A Cat Genie bidet? It does sound like a great invention, though. Very clever piece of work.

It has permanent crystal litter. No more hauling boxes from the store or garbage to the curb. Thanks.

This is another winner. You do such a great job of channeling the cat...I thought the damn pet was actually telling the story...your writing made me suspend my disbelief. Some poignant moments mixed in too. Dearment should be department....I want to give you a six but just used my last one...how about a vote for the contest winner.

Votes are always appreciated! Psst. Katy and I stared at each other today, and then I simply typed out what she said to me. Thanks.
Comment from forestport12
This has inspired me to write about our adopted dog Gomez, a pit bull/lab mix. He is super gentle, and never snaps. He did have an anxiety disorder. First time we left him in the house alone, he escaped the kennel and nearly put a hole in the front of our house. I'm always impressed how u dive into metaphors those sneaky direct comparisons like when you just say, "prison," and then then the mind's eye takes off. Someday before it's over we are going shake the world with our words.

From your lips to God's ears. Nice to see you on site. Thanks.
Comment from Dawn Munro
As always, this is a very entertaining write. Snobby little kitty with her room mate all those years, and she still can't tolerate him - LOL. I loved the part about her training him to let her eat first. HAHAHAHA.

Comment from Jay Squires
An hilarious parody from the POV of the cat. Great job, that.
Oh ... dear! Four, as I mentioned before is my limit for SPAG. So let me know when you've made the corrections or pointed out my dimwitery and I'll give you back your star.
Weimaraner's don't have tails, [Is plural not possessive so there should be no apostrophe]
his beautiful eyes,but [missing space.]
main focus being the manor mistress. but I fear my end is drawing near. [Your but needs to be upper-case, or the mistresses period needs a comma after it.]
Canned tuna is a poor subsitute, [a poor SUBSTITUTE,]
a little slow in that deartment. [that DEPARTMENT]
In spite of all, a strong contender in the contest. Good luck.

What amazes me is that these slipped by my Spell Check! As always, I am grateful for holding that bar exactly where it needs to be. Hugs, ingrid

Yes I can safely say your cat is so cool like your story. I have always had cats and dogs in the family and when they reside at the same time in the same house I must say, cats rule while dogs drool. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Comment from Sasha
This cries out, in capital letters, for a 6, but, alas, I am out. I WAS considering entering this contest but I know a winner when see one. I just love: second-hand lick ... dynamite description! I never had any memorable pets and doubt cockroaches or no-see-ums qualify. This is a top rate contender and I sincerely wish you all the best in the contest. I loved every word of this one.
I am currently working on this week's Tres Amigas...hope to send it to today or early tomorrow.

Comment from Linda Engel
First let me thank you for choosing my cat to illustrate your story. He is good looking. Great story and very understandable point of view from the cat. They do own us. I know when my mother was ill from her stroke, Collar would not leave her bed except to eat and go out side. At night he would start at the foot of her hospital bed and sneak his way up to lay on her paralyzed arm to keep it warm. They know so much more than you think.
This is a great story and a very good entry for the contest. thank you again...Linda (a.k.a. stik551 from Fan Story)
