You had me at kitty!

Stay tuned! With five cats at home there is definitely more cat content on the horizon and I plan to tell more stories with the three precocious kitties in this storyline too!

For some poetry is a big investment of time, playing with words and rearranging ideas. With you, even without trying, it pours our of you. She shook her head, frozen crystal tears falling like snowflakes". Stopped me on my tracks.

Your exploration with prose is still full of poetry, and I love that! <3

Andrea, this is delightful. There is more depth here than only delight. But that is what touches me most at this particular moment. I do so love reading your work, whether poetry or prose. Doesn't matter which - you're a master in every genre!

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

Thank you so much! I love that people came away from this feeling so warm from a post apocalyptic frozen landscape! ❀️ I'm glad, this one sat close to my heart!

Nina dragging that rabbit back and laying it at Ashra's feet β€” the whole title clicks right there. Enjoyed this.

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

❀️ Thank you! That was definitely my favorite part to write!

This felt like stepping right into a cozy, snow-dusted storybook, and that delightful image of tiny Nina stubbornly dragging a giant rabbit in a crooked pink sweater totally made my day ✨

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

That's definitely my favorite image of the whole story, I felt a lot of joy writing that bit and the lead up to it! It was really one of the first images that came to me that the story grew from! Thank you so much for reading Brandi! ❀️

Okay, yah got me. As an animal cat and dog lover I was an easy target. Lovely. πŸ‘

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Funny :) Yeah, I feel like that's how my cats are. This was a nice piece. I enjoyed how it felt to experience the scene as well as the ending since it was relatable. Thanks for sharing this piece!

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D

Love everything about this. The way the cats were written is so true. Little Nina and her pink sweater🩷

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

There may be some similarities to my cats at home :D . Nina is definitely written based off my kitty Misty in the photo with a few key details changed :D

✨️Whitney✨️'s avatar

That makes sense haha Misty is so pretty. I have a large orange tabby (a starving loverboy) and a long haired black cat (too much bite in him) since he's still a kitten πŸ˜‚

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

Awe that's sweet! How old is the kitten? We have 5, 1 is 5 years, 4 are 3 years. I have 2 tabbies and 3 voids! A full house :D

✨️Whitney✨️'s avatar

He's 8 months now. I found him at around 6 weeks. I think he's going to be a Big Void since he was 7lb 12 oz at 5 months old haha. My Orange is 3 years.I also have a chihuahua and pomeranian who are both turning 5 this year.

Andrea (Andy) Curran πŸŒ„'s avatar

Oh my! Yeah he's gonna be a big one probably! That's so sweet that you have some pups too do they all get along?

✨️Whitney✨️'s avatar

Yes they all get a long. My void loves to try and cuddle up with my pomeranian. She tolerates it but she doesn't get Haha She does clean his ears for him sometimes which he loves πŸ˜‚
