The Cat Chronicles Day 9: Whacked Out


Mraaw… I feel so lonely, so bored!


What’s this? The wrinkly one has left one of her playthings in easy reach!


I pounce…


…And capture the stringy creature easily!


The wrinkly one returns, and appears to be quite impressed at my superb hunting skills.


She is a clever two-legger, for recognizing such talent.


Hmm… Her smells are different. Much better than usual. Does she have a new treat for me?


She leaves something on the ground for me… And it smells wonderful!


I normally wouldn’t eat something such an odd shade, but that enticing aroma! I must have more!


You’re going down, fuzzy morsel!


I gnaw at its tail, but it doesn’t even wail in protest! What sort of creature is this? You know what… I don’t even care! Playing with this prey is just so much fun! Much more fun than the stringy creature, or the rustly-thing!


Woah… it is hard to focus on the wrinkly one, as she starts mewing in those strange high-pitched tones that she still thinks are capable of communication with felines.


Can’t sit still!


Can’t sit still!


Something is seriously not right… is the light box… floating?


. . .


All right, this is too much! I need some fresh air, maybe that will clear my head.


…Or not. What sort of two-legger is that supposed to be?


It smells like no two-legger I’ve ever smelt before…

This is getting too weird! I rush back inside, wanting nothing more than to curl up on my comfy place and forget about all this craziness!


When I enter the wrinkly one’s den, I see that the great hunter has returned!


He straightens up the soft things…


…And curls up to take a catnap.


He has the right idea. I won’t disturb him.


In the morning, the wrinkly one seems quite confused to find a plate of leafy stuff left on the floor for her. Doesn’t she see that the great hunter has made a catch and left it for her to eat? Silly two-legger!

    • Ya, he had waaaaaay too much nip for such a little guy, hahaha. Sadly he got pretty fond of the catnip mouse after that, which caused the Felix Felinenimus gnome to spawn on the lot.

      The picture of Earl crawling into bed to sleep beside Rose still gets to me. I posted it on the Purple Day Sims thread on the forums, because it’s just so… sweet and melancholy at the same time.

  2. Ha! Ha! At least the prey the ghost left the ‘wrinkly’ two-legged one, is better that a mouse or a bird.

    • I laughed so hard when her late husband left that salad (which happens to be Rose’s favorite food) out on the floor like that. I don’t know what he was thinking (maybe he was really trying to get her attention) but it was one of the few situations where I thought Shadow would completely understand what was going on here. Usually he’s perplexed by odd two-legger behaviors. ^_^;;

    The way you describe the catnip effect and then seeing the alien is great. Was that staged? Anyway, wonderful and I think the way he talks about the great hunter is very endearing <3

    Alien and a ghost all in one night and the ‘wrinkly one’ is missing out on both. I love how kitty seems to be so impressed by the ghost ;D This was such a fun chapter. And catnip!

    • So many strange things happened at once in that game session it just seemed the right choice to make it a bad catnip trip, heh. Waaaay too much ‘nip for a little kitten Shadow, you’re seeing things!

    Hahaha.. sounds like my cat when she’s had catnip. The floating pics were awesome! Cat encountering alien was funny. The ghost getting into bed with the “wrinkly one” was sweet. Plate appearing on the floor is pretty funny too!

    • The ghost of Earl curling up with his widow still remains one of my favorite images to this day. Got me in the feels when that happened. He hasn’t dropped by to check on her in such a long time in game now, perhaps he is content that Shadow has got this, now (plus, now Shadow has pretty much claimed that side of the bed, sadly…)

    Perfect time for an alien to show up: during a cat’s catnip trip. Then the cat is too high to warn the clueless humans about alien visitors. Also the ghost curling up next to the widow was so sweet.
