Hi Patty,
Ok, I know I missed a lot because I wasn't on FS when this first posted. I enjoyed reading it & wish to catch up with those I missed. The POV is great. Cats are smart & this could be exactly what Simba was thinking. Good job & thanks for sharing. Jan

    Hi Jan; thank you so much for reading along. It is hard for me to believe that I wrote these chapters almost seven years ago! I have updated and edited a few, but I've added a total of 9 stories from the past and started adding Bernie and Howie tales to the book.
    I hope you enjoy and I thank you for reading and reviewing,

LOL! I bet he didn't care for the puppy too much. I can imagine hissing and growling, like my former neighbor. A dog always takes a lot of time to care for and sometimes felines get jealous, I think.

Hi,
Again you do a terrific job in giving Simba a personality. It's not easy to do this. I felt really sorry for Simba when I read the past ordeal with humans. Humans can be cruel and disregard animals. My mother has three cats and a dog, but they don't always get along, lol. The dog has often to be separated from the cats. cats also fight with each sometimes. You should just see.
Looking forward to see about the new puppy and Simba's reaction.

    Hi there; almost didn't recognize you by your new handle - but its you. Simba has quite a few stories in the collection and with each one I edit and promote, I am reminded of how special he was. I hope you enjoy the rest of the stories.

Typo first, because it's before the story:
A book of pet stories about the various (?) been blessed to know over the years.
This is a good story. It's interesting and contains enough description of the main catrachter, allowing me to feel I know him pretty well.
Good work

    Hi Marv; I fixed the typo as soon as I read your review - thank you for catching that!
    I'm glad you enjoyed this story - Simba was so easy to write about because his face was so expressive,

Simba is an interesting cat. He has a record of his life. His age in not mentioned but I'm willing to guess it's up there. I think the medical attention, I think was a hint. I, also, think he enjoys being, let's say the k-word, "King." As he sits high on his perch, seeing who comes and who does not. All is well in his kingdom, except, the dog may be a problem. The life and times of Simba.

    hi; I'm so glad you enjoyed this part of Simba's story. He was almost ten at the time of this story. He died the next year. He was an inspiration of quite a few stories. I'm posting another one today,

Simba could only hope that his hearing had gone bad. Puppy surely must be a four-letter word to an older cat!
I was sad for Simba when he was in the cage for such a long time; you did a good job describing his bewilderment at being left there.

    Hi Heidi; I'm so glad you enjoyed this story about Simba. He inspired quite a few stories. He was just a wonderful cat - he even came to accept the little dog,

A very well-written story from the animal's point of view. They know when they are left by the ones they know their whole life but they cannot always understand why it happens.

    Hi Sandra; thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. Simba was very special and he is the star of more than a few stories. In the five years he graced my life, he gave me a great deal to write about,

    Hi Robyn; I'm glad you're enjoying the animal stories. They are really a joy for me to write, and I'm recycling some of the older stories I posted about seven years ago - with some editing, of course.
