Jimmy and the Lady

Hey human what you got for me today Jimmy said in his best cat manners, sometime the older human woman didn’t really understand meezer after all she was very old and Jimmy didn’t care if they just sat for a while her lap was warm and his motoring pur seemed ro make her happy, the older woman didn’t have her own companion animal and Jimmy could share himself with his own people and the dumb short legged dogs, he was a proud Siamese with blue piercing eyes and didn’t miss much if the older human wanted to give him a few “meets” and have a sit he didn’t mind an meezer can do what he likes really humans are easily trained to understand meezer speak which is just as well as this day the older human woman wasn’t upright on two legs or sitting upon a chair like the humans liked to do, she was outside of her house lying down, this was wrong not on a morning when the grass was white with frost the human woman should have been in the warm place inside the house bt she wasn’t.

Jimmy walked up to her and pushed at her with his paw
“Hey human what you doing out here” his voice more like a cry as most meezers are.
The human made a small noise
“mmmmm cat help me” she whispered
Jimmy thought for a moment the bell on his collar tinkled a little as he placed one paw again on the human, it was then he realized he was far too small to help the human up, humans got up by themselves normally and this one wasn’t he must help her.
Suddenly he sprang over the older humans body and flew across the white grass his paws hardly making a mark he was so fast, up over the fence post and across the gravel of the driveway, sprinting through the cat flap, jumping over the short slow dog and straight into the lap of his own human yelling at the tops of his meezer voice “come, come nowwww”

Jimmy’s own human of course was well versed in meezer speak and knew exactly what Jimmy wanted specially when Jimmy went to the door “meeee ouuut nowwww”
Jimmy ran out in front of his human are you following he thought was he turned back and gave his human a push
“nowww”
Jimmy perched himself on top of the fence post still yelling, his human came closer and at last saw the older human woman lying outside of her house
“Shoot I’ll have to go around” his human said
“Pfft” thought Jimmy if you could only jump and run like I can

This is a true story Jimmy did find the lady next door lying outside of her house, she’d had an attack of some kind and collapsed outside, she had been lying there at least three hours it wasn’t until Jimmy alerted my Dad that she was found

Jimmy was a Tabby Point Siamese he lived for 15 years, with two very caring humans and a total of four Corgis over his lifetime

Crying in the Night

A Sharkly Writing Challenge

Crying in the
night

She was bending over at the
wooden door the sweat pouring off her, her heart beating rapidly I can't
possibly do this she thought and she was still feverishly hammering thinking of
the horrible noises she had heard down in the dark gloomy basement last night,
when she heard a noise stood up straight and turned around too put the hammer
down on the table and another hand a cool smooth hand touched
hers

She jumped back and dropped
the hammer on her foot

“OW”

“Hey babe” her next door
neighbour virtually yelled in her ear

“Didn’t mean too scare you just bringing in some lettuce and tomatoes from me garden you know mine are the freshest around”

He looked at the door then
the nails sticking out haphazardly this way and that, bent over some even on the
floor, hammer marks on the wood then turned to her standing there with a look on
her face like a scared deer under the headlights standing on one leg holding
trying too hold her foot in one hand.

He hurriedly placed the sack on the counter and grabber her by the shoulder guiding her too a chair, “Here sit hunny I’ll make you a cup of tea”
“Gordon you know I don’t like tea and I don’t like you calling me hunny either and don't yell in my ear” Now she was rubbing her foot in one hand and her ear with the other

But hun’ he stopped himself

Helen you look like someone just died and why in the name of all is holy have made such a mess of that door

“Coffee Gordon” she gasped and I’ll tell you all about it

Early this morning I woke to
the sound of a baby crying
“Ain’t no babies around here Helen”

“I know that Gordon now don’t interrupt”

I woke too the sound of a
baby crying and well I know there aren’t any around here not unless
someone’s got one hidden and you know this neighbourhood I don’t
think that secret would keep long

As I came down the stairs too the kitchen, the crying got louder and more intense, it seemed too be coming from the behind that door she pointed too the basement door

It was very dark and very
cold down there I’ve never been further than the bottom of the stairs down there
in the basement I don’t like it never have
Even though the rest of the house is bright and sunny the basement is cold dark and gloomy and it smells nasty too

I just don’t go down there at all but the crying was coming from down there I just had too go it was so pain filled and the feeling I was getting from it well it was making me cry too I had too go, step by step in the dark each step getting closer too the sound

Suddenly

“Whoa what’s that” Gordon
jumped back spilling his coffee on the table

“Oh that Gordon is the source of the crying, that cat was trapped down in the basement and it was crying its head off, of course it wasn’t going too sit at the door oh no, I had too go right down and grab it too get it out.

Help me hammer these last few
nails into the cat door will you please Gordon otherwise that door will never be
opened again and that cats going too wake me up every night"

What did you think it was
going too be Zombies hehehehe
