A Very Comfortable Middle
_Okay, I'm really not going to fall asleep at this rate._ Sasha stroked King's tail again, muttering something about how short it was. The corgi clenched his butt, grimacing. He grasped Sasha's hand and moved it back to her side, praying she...
SENTIENCE - Chapter Nine - Battle
What had that creature done to me? Every spike down my back flexed upright. My limbs gave way an instant later, my mind sluggishly following. I felt like entering the dreamworld of sleep backwards, fighting my way upstream. But is that where I was?...
The Sex Scene - A Poem
I write Like I know what sex is, Like I have enough exes To go through the intricacies, And not fall into fallacies Of what romance means Besides taking off shirts and jeans And being unclean, Having dirty thoughts, And yelling the...
The Naked Singularity
It was a shame things weren't going to work out between us. We complimented each other, both smart in different ways. Perfectly cynic and real. It would have easily lasted till we were old and bitter. She sipped a cocktail. I had an iced tea. I...
Cat On The Keyboard
The preview popped up. Oh god, my hair! I licked my paw and tried to flatten it back. After a few swipes, the mess cooperated enough for me to accept my appearance and join the lecture. My professor for this class was talking already....
Housepets: Early Honeymoon
Lois's paws wrapped around me, petting the fur on my cheeks. "Maybe we can just pretend we're married, as a treat," the bobcat said. I let out a laugh. Her smug kitty face was right in front of mine. "Oh? And what did you have in mind?" My...
Bolt's Favorite Cat

Housepets: Hearts, Minds, & Dicks -- Illustrated
**Chapter 1** * * * Tarot panted, exhausted. Her short arms propped herself up on her knees. She craned her head up at her boyfriend. "We're not quite out of the splash zone yet," she wheezed. "The 'what' zone?" Peanut asked. The two dogs looked...
Undeserving - A Poem
Hold closed the eyes Feel the wet crease Feel the new warmth Feel all too much Yet nothing remarkable Not worth reliving Deserve nothing But accept the gift Clutching back Shiver and yearn Remember, remember And wipe clean Fly over...
Housepets: Overactive Imaginations
# Chapter 1 * * * Peanut watched snowy front lawns pass them by through the window. He would have appreciated how tempting all of the fresh powder looked, but yesterday bothered him. He had been sitting with Tarot in her kitchen. He...
The Klinefelter Cats
I've gotten "Freak." That's probably been the worst. Right up there with the eternal classic, "Shouldn't you be a girl?" But I'm being dramatic. Most cats aren't like that. Actually, most aren't even trying to be mean; they just don't see many like...
SENTIENCE - Chapter Ten - Sympathy
It took me many moments to reconfigure my sensors after Ra-mank's memories ended. My cameras focused, turning the red sky and blurry clouds into a red sun and bleak overcast. Humidity was in low double digits, still making it much higher than average....
