Tell me a story! Here is the basic outline of characters. You tell me what scenes play through your mind as you picture this story unfolding. You can build on other peoples replies or take it and run with it. This is just an exercise in fun. Nothing in this post is copyrighted to anyone else. It's of my own creation.

Character Builds:
________ - His occupation is in the city and pays 6 figures. He lives in a poorer part of town in a large, older home. His home is shared by an indiscriminate number of felines. He runs an unofficial halfway house for cats needing homes. He feeds them, cares for them and finds them good families.
________ - The Guys best friend that he works with and gives him bad advice or helps him get into more trouble.
_________ - She is allergic to cats. She loves dogs and has a dog that loves to chase cats. They meet one day and he falls instantly in love. He tells her he has a (as in one) cat. He spends the rest of the story running around frantically trying to find homes for all of these cats before she finds out about the rest.
Kai - Dog of the Girls. He’s a deaf, dwarf Great Pyrenees. He understands an amazing amount of sign language. He avoids eye contact when he doesn’t want to “hear” you say something.
Shadow – Black, bossy cat that doesn’t like closed doors, empty bowls or unresponsive congressmen.
Princess Poofy Butt – a Maine Coone that likes to be fed choice tidbits in a manner befitting her station. She spends her time grooming her lovely long fur.
Sox – Cat that doesn’t hold still long enough to get a real feel for her personality. She’s more of a fur-lined rocket that zips through the room at inopportune times. She meets a strict bedtime she sets for herself at 9:45 p.m. each night.
“Meeeeeoooooooowwwwwww,” whined the bossy black cat sitting on the third step up, her head following me while I walked back and forth.
“Oh… tell your congressman! Write a letter to John Boehner, why don’t you?” He scolded her for the fifth time already this morning.
The cat didn’t seem to feel threatened by his outburst. She did seem to understand the words though. She stretched disdainfully, stood and turned with a back paw flick as she strode away. It certainly seemed the attitude someone would have that had already tried to contact their congressman and didn’t feel heard. Maybe his cat is a Libertarian.
