Tiddles

 Roger Noons

a saucer of milk

 
The cage is empty. Joey’s blue-tinged down lies at the cat’s feet. A rough pink tongue laps fur; whiskers twitch.
    ‘Hello Boss,’ Tiddles squawks.
    ‘Oh no!’
    Mary will kill me, the budgie was her fortieth birthday present, along with a brand new cage.
    I grab for the cat’s tail, but she is too quick for me. Heading for the flap, she probably believes she can fly.
