Boo and Kitty in Ancient Egypt
“Ah, my favourite pillow,” mumbled Boo, the terrier. “Time for twenty winks.”
‘His seventeenth nap for today,’ thought Kitty, annoyed. “You better not snore!”
‘The clock never sounded like birds chirping before’ thought Boo, blinking to adjust his eyes to the bright light. ‘Where’s that silly cat? Woof! Why is my owner wearing that funny dress and hat? What’s with these awful cat-pictures everywhere?’
“Kitty, get down from there! Why is everyone bowing down to you?”
Kitty gave Boo a sideways glance, giving him the shivers.
‘The world has gone mad!’ thought Boo. He went back to a restless sleep.

I also like the way you used single quotes for the thoughts and double quotes for spoken sentences. I never thought of doing that.
Juma, thank you so much for your comment. Our cat is exactly the same! We keep falling for her demands too!
It was Carrie O’Leary who told me about how to use single quotes for thoughts and double quotes for sentences 🙂 I never thought about it before either.
This is fun Marianna. All cats seem to believe they should be worshipped. Poor Boo sounds like my Luna. Completely walked over by the moggies. ?

I agree with Carrie like our “mingming”. Mingming wants to be noticed always or worshipped. Sometimes she scratches my youngest daughter because she is jealous that I have no time for her.
Lotchie, we got our kitten when she was a day old. She’s never known other cats, yet she behaves like the place belongs to her ? I find it incredible how she behaves exactly like your typical cat who thinks they rule, although she’s never had an example before, if that makes sense. It leaves me to think that they are born with this superiority complex ?

Seems like we all have cats who have delusions of grandeur! Your story brings all of us cat lovers together in a fun way! Good work, Marianna.
Fuji, I’m glad you liked it. I always liked cats, but always considered myself a dog-person… Until we got our kitten. They just know how to get their way, don’t they? ? I’m glad you enjoyed my story.

Thompson, I am glad my story brought back memories for you. I am happy that you like it! ?
