Hello ann marie, What a lovely and a surprising review you have given me here. I am so pleased that you liked my wee tale of Charlie. He's a character. But so are most animals. I love them dearly. I am so sorry for my late reply, but we have been away sailing for close to three weeks with absolutely no internet connection. Lovely! Thanks again for the review. I'm very pleased. All best. Ulla
Comment from Muffins
The POV is stand offish in a regal way. A cat way. Charlie s
observation is sharp, detail cat sharp. The way he wakes up his human parents for food is the same way my cat, from many years ago before he passed, woke me up. If the meowing from the floor didn't move me, he would walk towards my ear and state his case." She gets so mad at me that in the end she stumbles out of bed and fills all our bowls. She then hurries back to bed still half a sleep.
Mission accomplished!"- That was me especially on the weekends. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from MelB
As a cat owner, I enjoyed this very much. They do hate when you are reading anything. Mine will come lie down on my papers or book. Nothing is more important in their eyes than them. I have 4 cats and rescued them all. They are very grateful and spoiled too!

Comment from Dean Kuch
Well, as we are way out in the country we are allquiet quite safe. "we are all quite safe." <---> I believe you meant "quite" safe here, Ulla...
I poke her,preferable preferably in the face,..."
An excellent tail...u-h-h-m-m-m, heh-heh, I meant tale, of the life of one very pampered house cat named Charlie. Sounds like one big happy family, Ulla. Best of luck to you in the contest. ~Dean :)

Hi there, thanks a lot for your nice review. Thought I had corrected the Quit into quite. I will have look again. I agree it should be preferably but then again I am told to avoid the ly endings. I am getting confused here. Thanks again. Ulla
-
Well, Ulla, despite what others may have told you sometimes "ly" endings are unavoidable. This is one of those times, unless you change the word completely (See? "Completely"? Case in point).
-
Hi Dean,thank you, you are absolutely right. That's what I thought as well. English is not my first language and although I have spoken it and writing it for many years, I am still learning. Thanks again. Ulla
-
No problem, Ulla. That's what we're here for, my friend. :)
Comment from Deniz22
Not very good? It's wonderful...as a cat person myself I enjoy reading about their in common (not common!) traits. We have two black sisters from our local rescue unit (People for Cats). I'm sad to say they are far more aloof than I like, but after all, I am only a poor serf, serving royalty. no sixes left or you would have them...

Comment from cbat
The story kept my interest being both amusing and familiar.
I recognised much of my cats actions.
This story would do well in children's books. Perhaps as a chapter or with sequel's involving Charlie. The background and location begging for more.

Comment from Selina Stambi
What a lovely cat life indeed - all nine of them!
I enjoyed reading the story told from the cat's perspective.
Best wishes for the contest, Ulla. Nice to meet you.
Hope you've had a wonderful week.
Until next time,
Sonali :)
family say that he is a tabby, so you will most likely know what I mean(s)... a tabby is a female cat. If it is a 'he' it would be a tom cat.
(mountainsides) all around us.
pregnant with me and my (b)rother, rescuing us from a life in squalor.

I enjoyed your story about the life of Charlie, the cat - quite entertaining, Ulla.
with four wheels[,] that - lose comma as by using "that" you make it a run-on sentence.
Good luck with the contest, my friend.
