Hi. I'm Rupert Cat and I welcome you to my Web site. My friends and I have gathered a few stories for people who like reading and writing and all that kind of stuff. It's a bit of an indulgence, I know, but it also gives me a chance to do something good for you. Are your pets bored and desultory? Do you wish you could do more for them? Maybe you should try reading some of these stories aloud to them. Yeah, I know it sounds silly, but think about it. Your pets love the sound of your voice, don't they? They stare at you incessantly, don't they? They're sitting there right now waiting for you to do something interesting with them, aren't they? So read them a story, and watch their little faces light up.  Trust me on this. I'm a cat, with a cat's truncated attention span. If you have a cat, you know how shiny objects grab our attention. Well, short stories are my shiny objects. They enchant me, especially when someone reads them aloud to me.
Think of it. Short stories are, uh, short. You can generally read one at a sitting, no matter how slowly you read. There's no chance to get bored. Just for you (okay, I'm stretching that one a bit), my friends and I have put together a collection of short stories to amuse ourselves. Perhaps these tales will amuse you. Try them. I think you and your Tabby or Fido will like them. |
