Challenge 003: Drabble: Pic Prompt

[strangetomato]

Here's my response to this week's challenge over at simstorytellers. The prompt was an image this week. I found this one a little harder to get into, and I think it was because I didn't get to create the image myself. That's usually such an important part of the thought process. I wonder if anyone else who did this challenge experienced that.

He's talking to me, running his lines, as if I really care. As if I can talk back. Like he cares. He just wants someone to talk at. The boy wouldn't play along, so he got angry, but it really doesn't make any difference. The boy would just do the same thing I'm doing.

At least I get to sit on the counter.

They're all a bunch of bores, caught up in their miserable, failing careers. Each performing for the rest of the family all day long, as if any of them are paying attention.

Actors. Is there anything worse?

A very cat-like observation :)

"At least I get to sit on the counter" *snortgiggle*

(On a side note, the description of your cat reminds me of my own. Very clingy and sociable.)

Heheh. Glad you think so. You know that the cat is only concerned about getting to do what it wants.

My cat is really weird like that. She's not very cat-like, in my opinion. Or maybe it's just that my previous cat was very snobby and easily ticked off (though she was nice to me). I think Suki (my current cat) was raised with dogs, since she really acts like one. She even licks you all over like a dog. We adopted her from an animal shelter, so who knows where she came from. It might be true.

Max licks me. Sophie used to, too. My theory is I taste like tuna. ;)

Suki likes to lick my face clean in the morning. I don't need an alarm clock anymore (since she meows a lot too, to wake me up). In fact, since she wakes up at the crack of dawn, she's now an hour ahead of my alarm. *sigh* I knew there was a downfall to the days getting longer...

Aww your kitty sounds so great. :D My Kaylee (see icon) licks me sometimes too. :D I LOVE it. :D

Kaylee is so cute! :) Suki has yellow eyes like that too. I should make a new icon that shows off her face.
