I played your game
you kissed me
then hissed at me
in a game of cat-and-mouse
(you said)
the cat is involved
the mouse is committed
you showed a claw
I took your point

Ah... With a cat for a friend you need only bring the plate and fork and offer yourself up as dinner.
A fine write that makes me smile in admiration.

Very good take on the prompt. This is a fast read but it makes the reader think. Sometimes I think of you as a cat.
Love,

How come I always end up playing mouse?
Good take well delivered.
-
-
Surely it's the other way round - the delivery before the take - or have I just never got the hang of wicket-keeping?

I love it ! I like the way you interperted the quote and it was very creative and original...
The cat is involved
the mouse is committed....This really got me thinking. Beautiful !
I can very much relate because I am going through somethin similar. You know that you being played...but you are so far gone and lost in him that you have no choice but be a part of his game....Two can the play that game..lol
Very well done! -
-
They can, but they seldom do. Only one person can be the cat.
Well... maybe...
Glad you liked it. -
-
Yeah...lol...The weaker vessel has to be the mouse and accept being played...
