Five for you and one for the cat. Aren't they just the most self sufficient beautiful and companionable of animals. Especially when they like you. You are fortunate indeed to be a cat magnet.

Thank you for reading and the six stars. They are appreciated. I agree cats are unique and lovable animals, but not if they don't like someone. Then they can be devious and pull pranks on the one they dislike.
Comment from Dawn Munro
This is great - I love cats. However, I do have a suggestion - that second sentence of the first paragraph is a fragmented sentence, and in a prompt requiring such a limit of words, I fear the voters might be especially hard on incomplete sentences/grammar.
I loved your ending too - eewwww is right! LOL. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks. I will look at that sentence again. Mostly, I was trying to save words so I could say all I wanted to say. Thanks again afor the catch.

You are correct; there are lots worse things you could be a magnet for!
You did a good job summing up your life as a cat magnet in less than one-hundred fifty words. I think it was a good idea to have that common thread of cats throughout your entry.

Thank you for reading and commenting. Cats showed up where ever I went in life even if I had planned on no cats for a while. LOL

Hahaha... I feel you on the spider count, but, alas, I'm so allergic to cats I can only gather dogs!
I tend to be friends with many cat magnets.
Married, retired, and living with your fur babies. What could be nicer?

Thanks for reading and commenting. It is nice to have my cats now. My biggest fear is that they will live longer than me and no one will care for them.

We share that fear!

I understand perfectly. I have 11 cats inside and 9 cats I feed outside. Sometimes I feel I'm working to support the animals. So I'll join your club because I'm a cat magnet to.

Thanks. So glad there are more cat magnets out there. Sometimes I feel alone when folks give me that look from the corner of their eyes that says "Crazy Cat Lady". I'm sure you know what I mean. I spend more money feeding my cats then I do buying people food. LOL
Comment from LaRosa
NIce sense of humor! Cats or snakes...weird, I know people who'd chose SNAKES! Go figure...

Thanks for reading and the kind comments. I'm not sure which of us is the magnet either. LOL
Comment from apky
Short and precise without losing the excitement
of an on-going story. It reminded me of my husband
who loved cats since childhood. He often, as a child,
pretended that he was cold at night, so that his
parents could let him keep his beloved cats in bed.

Thanks for reading and commenting. I can relate to your husband's love for cats.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Cats are very sensitive creatures and only go where they know they will be welcomed. We had 22 at one time, lol, all wonderful, all feral with amazing personalities. You are honoured to be chosen by your cats, you lucky lady. Good luck in the contest, it's a lovely story. :) Sandra

Thank you, my friend. Even feral cats wind up being my buddies in the end. They know I'm an easy touch and will provide food.
Comment from Mabaker
I'd like you for a friend. We buried our old gentleman after 21 years of companionship and I so desperately need another cat to help me survive this life with it's many bumps and rocky parts. Cat's keep you grounded. Sincerely Anne.

Thank you. You have me for a friend, Anne. Cats live long lives if they are cared for and have no accidents. Dogs are lucky to live ten years, but I had one cat who lived to twenty eight.

Our old gentleman was twenty-one and seven months when he went to the resting tree.

Having grown up with a dairy farm in the family, finding kittens in the hay each year, I can appreciate your life. I love cats and have owned several. Then I married a man who is allergic to them, so now we have dogs. :)
