Hi everyone! I hope your time management is better than mine. @_@ The summer is racing along and I’m trying to keep up with all the projects I’ve started.
I’m continuing with Cat Nip today and posting the first lines from Installment #10 which will be available on Tuesday.
He tried to bite me again. Outraged, I barred the door, moved to the window, and peered at the beast that apparently wanted to be my friend when he wasn’t snacking on me.
Paws in the air, he twisted and flexed his body, rubbing his shoulders on the rough floor, before he stood and prowled the length of the porch.
I watched his powerful muscles ripple beneath the spotted pelt and instinctively froze as I gazed at a dangerous predator and hoped I wasn’t prey.
I breathed again when he found a patch of sun to his taste, stretched out on his belly, and closed his eyes.
I couldn’t get away from him. No matter where I stood in the cabin I could hear his purr, even though the window remained closed. The sound of his contentment irritated me and made me grit my teeth in frustration.
Visit Tuesday for the rest of Installment #10 Cat Nip .

Aww, he’s just a big pussy cat! Love the situation you’ve got her in.
Beautifully described Gem, I could ‘see’ it all and feel her frustration!
Isn’t that just like a man? I mean, a tiger? I mean . . . him? 🙂
Boy, is she going to be ticked when she finds out!
I’m so enjoying this story!:)
Made me laugh, I love it. Can just imagine him purring…great snippet!
This is a great eight! Made me smile : )
And they say that a cat’s purr is relaxing to humans, lowers blood pressure, etc…
🙂 Good 8, Gem! I like that she can’t get away from the purring, and that the cat goes from trying to bite her to complete contentment. Makes me wonder… Cats bite showing affection. 🙂
Fabulous snippet. She’s nervous and frustrated and he’s laying in the sun. Love it. 😀
Well, he’s a cat. What do you expect?
What Teresa said… ;-D And I love the sound of a cat purring. You can almost feel the vibrations.
LOL. yeah that would make me want to get a garden hose and spray him off the porch. Great snippet, Gem. 🙂
Email me when Cat Nip comes out. I don’t want to miss it.
Delicious snippet, Gem. You didn’t miss a beat of my heart as I read.
I always look forward to reading your snippets… This one is right on the mark- sharp, fun, & descriptive. Nice.
I wonder how she is going to get out of here.
