The Red Pen of Doom · Conventional wisdom about writing is conventionally wrong.
Well. I can certainly imagine a situation in which a cat might have the BRAINS to plot and execute your murder. Or any murder. However, that sounds a lot like work, and no cat I’ve ever met will have truck with THAT.
Nix on cats smothering babies–I’d lay down money it doesn’t happen. Likewise munching the departed, though dogs are known to,not being as picky about fresh.. As to maulings, I knew a woman who left her front door open one nice night (it was the 50s) and a cat walked in, jumped up in her lap, and bit her 40-something times.
Well, as a cat owner I have to say – boool sheet!
