CatsCast 16: Don’t Mess with the Boss Cat
Don’t Mess with the Boss Cat
a Vermont Radio Story
by Nikki Knight
I didn’t want to become the Boss Cat at some radio station in the middle of nowhere, and I definitely didn’t want to have to kill some fool.
But you mess with my family, you mess with me.
See, it’s all That Guy’s fault. He ran out and broke Ma’s heart and made her pack up me and My Girl and leave our comfy apartment. That mope’s wandering eye cost me my great big window and all those nice noisy birds.
I’m Neptune, by the way.
My vet forms say “Neptune Metz,” gray shorthair cat, breed unknown, and make some truly insulting comments about my size. I never used That Guy’s name anyway, and I think of myself as a big gray cat from the Bronx.
