Hi Kahlani
This is a wonderful story about the cat and his chasing game. I wonder if he knew it was a game. He probably would never have been able to catch it outside anyway.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy your weekend.

This story made me chuckle. Our two cats are more likely to chase mice and bugs, depending on which cat it is. One of my friends had a cat named Shadow, but it's been so long I can't remember which friend it was. The description of his eyes being 'laser-focused' sure reminds me of how one of our cats stares outside so much. And the wet nose that smeared the glass reminded me of cleaning the basement windows for an hour one day due to cat snot build-up over a few months. I really had nothing to suggest in the way of improvement, so good work.

What a lovely scene you've created! I could feel Shadow's determination! The description of his nose smearing the glass adds such a playful touch. I have to say I was rooting for him! You captured the magic of a cat's curiosity perfectly! This left me with a smile! Thank you for sharing such a delightful moment.

It's spring here. The weather is warming up. I prefer the colder seasons.

Ha! Cats are funny creatures. They scare easily, but their curiosity gets the better of them. This is a well-crafted entry for this particular writing prompt--best of luck in the votes.
God bless,
Steve

Thank you, Neonewman. I think that's where the expression "scaredy cat" comes from.

Ha! I think you're right. My pleasure, Kahlani.

This is a delightful story made easy to visualize by your carefully chosen words describing cute little Shadow. In just a few words we learned the time of day, how Shadow looked with a wet nose, and what his morning activity was. Well done is so few words. Best wishes in the contest.

Well done- it's a Flash a Fiction for the contest told in an interesting manner as the reader follows the action as the cat makes renewed effort to reach its aim. Effective use of language here and with a finale that intrigues the reader - great pic to illustrate,
