Cats are eerie, to begin with, I had a cat named Binx her eyes were so yellow that they glowed in the dark. she never purred she would just sit and stare at me for the longest time. I would feed her then she would go back to starting at me for the rest of the day. One day I was cleaning and getting ready for spring and I left the back door open she walked right out and I never saw her again. Three years later as I was walking past an Antique store there in the window was a black cat with those haunting glowing yellow eyes just staring back at me. I knew in my heart that she had found the right home. Weird right?

What a rich/layered story! Nicely done, Brian. I enjoyed it from start to finish. At times I sensed Ray Bradbury elements.

Hmm...if I could choose any pet, I’d probably go with Brandy, my childhood English setter. She was such a great dog, so good-natured. I’ll never forget the way she habitually walked the perimeter of our house, looking for birds. She never harmed them...she would just point in their direction. Over time a dirt path formed because she did this so often. 😄

Wow Brian, I really liked this. But it feels like there could be a lot more there ... is this a first crack at a longer story? BTW, the “in and out of the room like a tornado” conceit was really good, I liked that a lot.
