This story is imaginative and enjoyable. Your background information is well developed as well as your descriptions. I like that you made Ryan smart, bold, and not afraid of the gunslinger cat. Great flash fiction. Best wishes in the contest.

This seventy-five-word story, A Cat Tale, has the proper word count and has exposed a most abusive form of PUNishment. I wonder if wildcats have nine lives as well?

    LOL. Thank you for reviewing. I think wildcats only have one life, but they have figured out nine ways to jump out of life-threatening situations. Your reply reminds me as well, I ought to sponsor another O-pun contest.

Cute story. Cats must be like dogs; they mark their surroundings to keep their property safe. The cat in the image looks like a wild cat who I would not like to meet on any outing.

    Yes, that photo looks like a true wild cat, wilder than our feral one. Thank you for your line of 5 stars!

Haha, what a fun story, CC. I enjoyed reading it.
I liked the personification of the kitty. I could see
Ryan acting just as you wrote. I liked the use of
the word desperado and copycat. I wouldn't want
to be on his bad side.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan

You have a clever use of words that brings a smile to the reader's face. Cats are smart and like your feral cat, I can see your cat in the story taking charge. This is a fun feline tale.

This is funny and original Crystie. Cats do a lot of guarding and protecting. Most people don't understand that. They keep down rodents and insects and skunks that would foul up our space. I hate it when someone hates cats. They were the saviors of mankind during the Black Plague! Feed your Sheriff
good and give him a spot in the barn for a bed and he will stand guard. Well done. Nancy:)

What a punchline! I love the surprise ending to this 75-word flash fiction tale! This is fun and I enjoyed reading it immensely. The plot of a cat gunslinger coming to town and taking on the cat sheriff is hilarious! I laughed out loud when I read this.
Thank you for brightening up my day!
Jesse

I was caught in an eddy's whirling dervish trying to figure what you were writing about. Human or feline, and isn't, "He was an ambitious feline" an oxymoron?

    Thank you for stopping to review. We actually have a feral cat who is pretty ambitious about serving as a guard cat.
