Excerpt:

  Mateo was on his knees and the cat was beside him, allowing him to stroke her. She looked tired and thin.

“Oh you poor baby,” Willow said, kneeling beside Mateo and putting the two containers down in front of the cat.

The cat went for the water first, lapping it up with her eyes on Mateo and Willow and her ears back, twitching as she listened to her babies.

After the water, Mateo and Willow silently watched as she gobbled up the tuna, eating every last flake of fish and licking her lips when she finished.

Willow went to stroke her, but the cat hissed at her and flattened her ears, pointing them backwards before going back to her kittens, with a sharp flick of her tail.

“We can’t leave her out here.” Mateo said, looking around.

“What are we going to do? We can’t touch her kittens and move them.” Willow said, at least knowing that much about cats. “The cat must belong to someone Mateo,” Willow said. “She’s obviously used to humans and being handled, but it is getting colder at night now.”

Mateo nodded and standing, helped Willow to her feet.

The poor cat, he’d been surprised when the cat had let him touch her. Just then, she walked out of the undergrowth again and went to the house. She pawed the wooden door and meowed forlornly.
From the scratches on the panel it looked as though she had been doing that for weeks, if not months.

“When did these people move out?” he asked tightly, feeling his temper rise.

“I think Wendy said two months ago or something like that.” Willow answered, coming to the same realisation as Mateo by the looks of it. She had never seen him look so furious.

Mateo swore and took out his phone.

The Feline Fix in #VPK

Monday, January 25, 2016

I'm happy to have Caroline Bell Foster sharing a little of her novella, The Feline Fix! 

The Feline Fix by Caroline Bell Foster
Meeting Police Constable Callum Forde on the worse day of her life, makes cat lover and scientist Wendy Wilde question all that she values, her cat's loyalty and the role science plays in love.

Excerpt
Next time? He didn’t want her going out by herself which was a bizarre thought, with not even ten full minutes in her company.  

“Make sure that you do.” He ordered, in a voice he usually reserved for delinquent yobs. 

“I’m sorry.” She said and to her horror felt the sting of tears. It had been a horrible day and had ended even worse. This was New Years, she should be happy, looking forward to the year ahead, but instead she was sat in a police car, unmarked, but still a police car, with the cutest policeman she had ever seen in her life, but he was telling her off and treating her like a criminal. This day was officially the worse day of her life. Oh what a way to end the year and start a new one, she sniffed.  “I’m sorry,” 

Callum rushed, seeing the sheen of tears. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”  

“It’s okay. You’re right,” she admitted, blinking rapidly to get rid of the tears. “I don’t usually go out at night and I didn't think. It makes sense,” she went on bravely, reaching for the door handle.

 “Thank you for the lift and Happy New Year.” She said brightly, as she scrambled out of the car.  

Callum got out looking over the roof of the car waiting for her to open her front door. Ever the protector, he watched as she fished her keys out of her bag and fumbled with the latch. She dropped the keys. 

“Need any help?”  

“No it’s okay. I’m just a clutz as you already know. Petri dish? Keys?” Wendy shrugged, putting her hands out, palms up as though they were scales. “Same thing.”  

Callum heard the wobble in her voice. She was trying so hard to be brave in front of him and he wanted to wrap her up in his arms and tell her everything would be okay.  He walked towards her. “Here,” he offered softly, taking the keys from her and smiling at the red plastic key ring shaped like an atom. “Let me.” 

He unlocked the white pvc door, similar to his and let it swing open.  

“Thanks.” She mumbled, stepping into the hallway and turning to him.  

Callum spied the small rectangular box on the wall, the green light steady, when it should have been blinking on their entry. “Why didn’t you program the alarm?” 

“The cat.” 

“The cat?” He repeated faintly.  

“Mr. Snuggles,” she explained. “He comes and goes through the cat flap and sets off the alarm when he jumps onto the kitchen counter. I’ve tried to make him stop, cats on counters is so unhygienic.” She flicked her hands around. “But he won’t stop. He never listens to me. He’s such a cat.” Then she smiled softly. “But I love him.” 

Callum could not believe what he was hearing. She lived alone at the end of a street where her garden ran parallel to a road busy with foot traffic. There was a field at the back and she didn’t use the alarm? He was incensed.  “Let me get this straight,” he said, folding his arms over his chest, unable to hide his irritation. “You have an alarm but you don't use it because of the cat?”  

“Uh uh.” She bit the corner of her lip. He was not happy.
