I have packed warm clothes and antihistamines, and the emailed instructions are both simple and strange. <em>Feed the cats and clean up after them and yourself. But don’t let them out, no matter how much they ask.</em></p> <p>Read the rest <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/114354873">on Patreon</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives International 4.0 license.</p>

<p>August, 2024 <strong>Author</strong>: Carolina Valentine <strong>Narrator</strong>: Laura Pearlman <strong>Host</strong>: Laura Pearlman <strong>Audio Producer</strong>: Dave Robison</p> <p>This story is a CatsCast original.</p> <p>The Invention of a Cat</p> <p>by Carolina Valentine </p> <p><em>The haunting had started at 2 a.m., and my local Joann didn’t open until nine. I was in the parking lot at 8:30, and while several Joann employees passed by my car on the way to the doors, I kept scrolling on my phone, feigning disinterest, instead of begging to be let in early. Even after the night I’d had, I wasn’t going to be That Customer. </em></p> <p> <em> I focused my bloodshot eyes on the featured article in the Journal of Theoretical Witchcraft—something about the potency of blood moon spells—and checked once or twice on the spectral wound I’d slathered in dubious Taint-Be-Gone and expired Neosporin. Despite the mustiness of the gauze wrapping I’d found for it, the four claw-like marks probably wouldn’t fester.</em></p> <p> <em> In theory. Which is what I did. Theory.</em></p> <p>Read the rest <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/catscast-episode-108819930">on Patreon</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Visit us at</span> <a href= "https://escapeartists.net/catscast/"><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> https://escapeartists.net/catscast/</span></a><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives International 4.0 license.</span></p>

<p><strong>Author</strong>: Annie Reed <strong>Narrator</strong>: Summer Brooks <strong>Host</strong>: Laura Pearlman <strong>Audio Producer</strong>: Wilson Fowlie</p> <p>This story originally appeared in Pulphouse Fiction Magazine.</p> <p>Queen of the Mouse Riders</p> <p> by Annie Reed</p> <p>Gurgling yowls echoed off the tiled floor in Sarah’s bathroom. Bounced off the ceiling, gaining strength, and intruded on what was turning out to be a very, very nice dream featuring the star of a movie she’d watched just before bed.</p> <p>In the dream, the star turned his incredibly expressive eyes in Sarah’s direction, smiled his best enigmatic smile, and said, “Pardon me, darling, but is that your cat?”</p> <p>(In the dream he’d turned British. She happened to know he’d been born and raised in the Bronx. Dreams were just plain weird sometimes.)</p> <p>“Yes,” she said. “She’s apparently caught a mouse.”</p> <p>Starlight the Cat had a battle cry like a two-note yodeler gargling mouthwash. She reserved that particular cry for whenever she caught a mouse. Or something that looked like a mouse. Or a mouse-shaped stuffed toy.</p> <p>Most of the time she’d only caught one of her toys. Thank goodness. But on at least on memorable occasion she’d interrupted a visit from Sarah’s mother by presenting a live mouse as the third course for their lunch date.</p> <p>Sarah’s mother was deathly afraid of mice.</p> <p>Read the rest <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/posts/catscast-episode-106528304">on Patreon</a>.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Visit us at</span> <a href= "https://escapeartists.net/catscast/"><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> https://escapeartists.net/catscast/</span></a><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives International 4.0 license.</span></p>
