Now that is a flash comment 🙂
😀 Love it! Glad to be back blogging and I can see that I have a lot of catching up to do!
Great to have you back. Trust you’ve sorted and packed off the issues that kept you. Peace 🙂
Wonderfully creepy.

Thanks for the note about my page hanging up Eric. It has been doing it to me too only not for as long as you indicate. I’ll check into it…I may have to change it! Rats! Because I really liked this one! But it’s no good if it doesn’t load properly. 🙁
Hugs to you! Jeannie
Thank you Jeannie.
I like the new theme too…but drats
Will be deleting this comment
Luv and peace Eric 🙂
even drowned cats have to make sure we remember who’s the boss! good and creepy Eric!
You are so right – they sure scent their realms even from the beyond….
amazing eric, how can you create such an intense atmosphere in so little words!
Oh, Sharmishtha – you are always spreading such encouragement. Thank you dear. Hope your back is getting better. Peace, Eric
right now it is acting like a nice creature
Creepy! Cool!
Careful about patting a cat that simply appears and hops on your lap…
Yes, you never know if it’s the grim reaper taking the form of a cat.
Grim Reaper…now it is getting escalated.
Cats shrieking in horror movies, dogs howling, Birds in Alfred Hitchcock…I’ll get myself a terrapin for a pet.
Who is he talking to – Scratch or the owner ???
The owner speaking to his guest – I’m surprised this did not come through
I was thinking of who got drowned – the cat or the owner. Is the guest now speaking to the owner or has Scratch taken over the owner’s body. Just adding to your spook !
Scratch still has 8 lives left, Eric! Duh! (great flash fiction in the opinion of this mother to Miss Fluffy of the royal feline-hood!)
Thank you Granbee and here’s to the eight remaining lives 🙂
Cats are so fickle. Scratch probably only pretended to drown.
LOL! Your comment was the first I read this morning and what a hoot it gave me 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you Fiona. I love starting my mornings with laughs 🙂
Fabulous piece here! Scratchy indeed. 🙂
PS: Glad that WP let me log-in after ages. Hoping this one lasts though.
Thank you and welcome back 🙂
OMG Eric!! Meows will never forgive you. 😆
what a brilliant spooky story 🙂
I love dogs – heh! heh! heh!
Wait a minute – don’t dogs howl? As Mechanic Leigh would say > Yipes!
meow meow meow meow 😯
Ghosts!
Scratch is merely keeping tabs on her territory…
…She does it best that way!Thanks.Great post!
Well I know all about the hungry ghosts celebration, do we have to celebrate a hungry cats celebration each year now?
LOL! Another curved ball… 🙂
Now that would be creepy!
It would be, wouldn’t it – especially when it involves a cute domesticated pet
Was Scratch was the only ghost? How about the transient guest? The words “Sitting on my lap” is a bit puzzling. Was the guest in the picture, with Scratch sitting on his lap? I’m “scratching” my head.
Interesting – yes, perhaps instead of “Sitting on my lap” – with a hidden “was”, it could have been clearer with “Was on my lap”.
Thank you for pointing out Dee. Cheers, Eric 🙂
Oh now it makes sense, Scratch “was sitting on his lap” before the owner came down. Thanks for the clarification, Eric. The ending line is creepy all the same. 🙂
But the cat came back, he couldn’t stay no long-er,
Yes the cat came back de very next day,
the cat came back—thought she were a goner,
But the cat came back for it wouldn’t stay away.
Now this is probably scary for the cat – it changed from a tom (first line) to a tabby (third line)
Oh noes! D:< lol
I wonder how the cat drowned…
Spooky!
They say cats have 9 lives…or was that 9 ghosts…
