First thing I thought of! So glad it doesn’t have the sound. That creepy giggle….(shudder)…
But 22 days later, their cat showed up at their front door, thinner but otherwise healthy.
Yes, thinner. It’s difficult to fully reconstitute oneself when having to work with only ashes.
“No fair, Daddy…”
This does match the order of publication…
@Melizmatic (repeat shudder) and remind me never again to search “shudder gif”. (Third shudder). Going out into the sunshine now.
I’m pretty sure there’s a body-horror subscription network by the name of Shudder, so I’ll gladly take that advice.
Eh, horror in general.
Fair enough.
Still, it’s timely advice; as most current horror offerings these days seem to involve torture-porn.
Personally, I prefer less physical gore and more psychological tension when it comes to that kind of entertainment.
Big deal, he’s got 8 left.
Can you pinpoint on this map where the cat was found?
A hard right turn sounds about right for many threads.
At least they had a nice little service for the cat that likely would not have received one.
their 16-year-old cat
That must have been an exclusively indoor cat that got curious. Outdoor cats have life expectancy of 2 to 5 years. Indoor are 15 to 18 years. They will no doubt treasure those remaining years.
We’re a well-oiled meme machine.
Wow, sounds familiar. We’ve cared for a few feral cats over the years, the latest one now lives indoors with us. That cat and his mom hung out around our yard and stayed warm in the heated shelters I built.
The wife and I are avid runners, we run on a 55 mph highway through some beautiful wetlands. One day a few years ago the wife came home from a run crying. The mom got squished on the highway so I went and got her. Did I say squished?
We buried her in the vacant field where we bury all the animals that die in our yard. Talk about pet cemetery.
Yep, you guessed it, our mommy feral cat showed up two days later. She’s outside now, the cat not my wife.
It’s Dirk Gently’s fault.
