PASHA, From Animal Shelter to A Sheltered Life: Today, I Kicked the Cat

When the flaming-orange tom was brought to the local animal shelter, he was messy. And he stank. That darn cat never took his eyes off me. They were not quite green and not quite yellow; they were round, and alert, and reflected light like precious stones set in orange gold. ‘Don’t even think about it,’ I told him.

Today, I Kicked the Cat

I certainly should know better.

In “Sirocco,” I had my Egyptologist heroine add a false translation of the ancient Egyptian Golden Tablets to heap a made-up curse onto her superstitious kidnapper.

“...And never shall you find the Field of Rushes if you have kicked Bastet.”

It was an accident, I swear. Early morning Lilliput lolled about on the oriental hall runner when I came out of the bedroom without having turned on the light. It took a couple of hours and me tiptoeing around barefoot for her to come out from under the bed for some “yum-yum.”

So far, I don’t feel a curse coming on.

By the way, “Sirocco Storm over Land and Sea,” will be on SALE Aug. 2-5 for a woeful 99c (not enough to feed any cat, ancient or otherwise).

And yes, treats and lovings were heaped upon my Lilliput; I think she has forgiven me.
