    No, it wasn't sad. She was such a joy to me, but now I cannot have a cat as I am allergic, which makes me sad. Thanks for your lovely words, Nancy. Hugs. Sally

I enjoyed reading your story about your kittens and how cats and kittens have different personalities, and do react in such different ways. Recently we had a beautiful kitten who nearly spoke to us and she was killed crossing the road.
I love cats I have had them as a little girl and I love their nature. They are selfish but they still are wonderful when the sit and purr on your lap.

Well written
good luck in the contest Mary

    Thanks Mary, for your very thoughtful review. I love cats, too, but can no longer have them as I am allergic to pet hair and pet dander. :>( Miss Sally

This is a very good story. It is fun to read about the antics of your cat. One thing to look at is: "Where I stayed until she had the first kitten, then she was fine." This is not a sentence. It's a prepostional phrase. You could change the word "where" to "there" and it would make more sense. I liked the way you ended the story with a prompt for another one.

Your story is well done. Your words allow the reader to "see" your pet and understand how you allowed her to let you know what was going on in her life. Good job.

This meets the contest requirements nicely. This is a well penned narrative and since the rules did not specify poetry, a unique entry that stands out. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Engaging story. It was fun to read about your kitten. She must have been pretty busy at night. :)

I loved her and I feel that she loved me, as well -- No comma.

Her first batch of kittens were born on my bed, at the foot, in the middle of the night. --'at the foot of my bed in the middle of the night.'

Author: lovely story about your Samantha. We have six cats, all with entirely different personalities. Each has its own distinct way of communicating with us. As a cat lover, I understand your story well. Good luck in the contest. livelylinda

Love the photo of your pets. Very pretty animals. Your story of Samantha's nose to nose thing was quite a visual for me. Made me want to smile. Thanks for posting.

You make it sound very believable but have placed it in fiction, so I guess that means you're a pretty good story teller..
Well done with your entry in the contest, Buck

    There was some miscommunication on the posting. It is not fiction. It is a true story of my cat Samantha. They had it in poetry first and I asked Tom to fix it. It should not have been posted in fiction. Thanks for the nice review and for bringing this to my attention. :>D
