Cats Never Forgive

From a Fifties by the Fire prompt

Image created on Midjourney

I laughed at Marcus’s t-shirt bearing a demented image of his awful cat, Spook, who hated me, along with the words “I’m going to haunt you when I die.”

I never understood those words were meant for me. Spook’s ghost haunts my days, a constant reminder that cats hold grudges.
