Discussion of "A Cat Named History 2" by dogdeity11

I think your personification of history is impressive. I can see your attempt to blur the lines between the cat and the concept of history. I love the descriptions. However, I believe that the fact that History is a cat should be made more clear. The descriptive ambiguity, in my taste, is enough, there does not need to be situational ambiguity.

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the feedback.
This is actually a follow up, (chapter 2) to A CAT NAMED HISTORY. That’s why I didn’t clarify he was a cat because the original author did that in chapter one.
Seek chapter one out...its awsome.

very nice! Don't take this in a wierd way, but it kinda made me think of family guy. Can they hear what stewie is saying, is he really talking? The interchangeability of the cat's name and actual history is flawless in both stories, and is the type of word play I crave, and few deliver with.

masterful job!
Fave line: "The woman on the phone tells me she is impressed with my resume which I know is a lie."
I love this because it's so true in that industry, and the reference to "sorted and mostly made up misspelled words of my academic and professional career." is hilarious in its honesty, as those of us who have ever padded a resume know too well.

Bravo! Love it! And the last line? Foreshadowing at it's best! Do tell.......

Hey dogdeity,

So I've successful procrastinated writing a follow-up to this...I really like the chapter, but it's just not where I left like going, but you gave me TONS of questions/ideas, like what DOES History eat, is he a quantum particle, etc. I would really like you to add on to other chapters, if you'd like!

I've also read your other stories, and will comment soon. Bed time for now

Ok, I just figured out how to read all of your stuff too:) I love the idea of History traveling in little kitty sized worm holes. It's kinda mind bending when you really sit down to think about it.
