Story of a Cat

writing prompt: write a story about a cat in 55 words

Once Upon A Time
There was this cat,
She did what she wanted
As cats are obliged to do
She ate, she drank, she slept
She hissed, she clawed, she purred
Orange, tan, black and white
Green eyed, tortoise shell
Her favorite thing to do was bring
A headless mouse to me as a gift
