They go nuts for flashlights ..
When we have storms the electricity must be turned off so if it happens at night and we are not in Winter( when I have the fireplace going) the flashlight is used and the cats try to catch the moving ball of light .
I enjoyed your entry I hope you do well in the contest .

Cats are so fun to watch, Mystery Author. In this situation, the cat has a one track mind--catch the light. He would watch for it and try forever if he could. Thanks for the fun poem. Good job with its rules. Best wishes. Jan

Your story's short, jumpy sentences captures the idea of the cat chasing the light in all directions. I hiss too when I can't catch something or understand it.

You did a fine job on this piece in only 29 words. Cats are so funny - they get so absorbed with silly things like lights. But then again, we have fireworks, as well. Are we so different? lol

A good illustration of the cat with a hat and excellent writing. The neon light will guide the cat into the light. Good luck with the contest and with your writing.

I have seen this happen and it is fun to watch as animals are fooled by the light and chase it, but never manage to capture it! This is a fun write, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Poor cat. One can feel its frustration in failing to catch the moving light. Making a whole story in this many words is difficult... this one sounds as if it might be based on fact.

As I have a pet cat -- or maybe I should say my cat owns a willing human -- I can relate to this. It's very evocative and filled with fun {smiles}. If this was based on my own experience of the feline species, I'd use "chases" in the second sentence rather than "fights", but that's a picky point.
Good luck with the competition {smiles}.
