Here we are another week. This time, we’ve gathered in the kitchen of a home just before Christmas. Our hostess this week, and every week, for this gathering is the gracious and talented artist and author, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. We are the Friday Fictioneers, and our challenge this week, and every weekΒ is to each write an original story with no more than 100 words. It’s supposed to have a beginning, middle, end, and follow the picture prompt provided for the week. This week’s prompt was provided by Scott L Vannatter. Thanks, Scott.
Since Rochelle is on a much-deserved vacation trip for a couple weeks, this is a repeat picture prompt. I want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a great new 2016 to come.

FLUFFY By P.S. Joshi
Hello, my name is Fluffy. My pets are George and Irene.
We all live happily in a lovely house on Briggston Avenue. They’ve made sure I’m comfortable and well-taken care of. I couldn’t have asked for better pets.
Once a year they put a tree in the living room. On it, they hang lovely balls. At first, I guessed it was for me to play with. However, I soon found out it was supposed to just stand there and look pretty. That’s confusing, but I want to keep them happy. Sometimes, though I take a swing at one.
Don’t tell.
Cute! I’m sure all cats think of us as their pets π They certainly act like it!

Thanks, Ali. I’m so happy you liked the story. You’re right. I’m also sure cats regard us as their pets, or perhaps servants. They let us stay around as long as we treat them right. Happy Holidays and a great New Year, 2016. π — Suzanne

Such a sweet voice! I’ve often wondered what our pets really think of us. They seem to have so much in their eyes; I just know there’s a dialogue behind those eyes! Nice job, Suzanne.

Thanks, Patrick. Yes, they can be. What I always liked about a cat was that they were self-sufficient. I admire their intelligence. You give them food, a clean litterbox, and a place to sleep and that’s about it. π — Suzanne

Dear Suzanne,
I think you’ve truly captured the mind of a cat. Cute and well written.
