OMG what a great Halloween story! I love cats. And it's funny because we used to have a cat that just sort of "adopted" us, too. We didn't name it Black Cat (it wasn't black), but we named it...That Cat! What a coincidence! We called it T.C., for short, and it just sort of stuck. (Before T.C. I did have a black cat, who looked just like the one in your picture, but that was a looong time ago.)
Oh, and
thank you for calling Frankenstein's monster the right thing. Ultimate pet peeve: When people call the monster "Frankenstein." No no no no no! (And I'm almost 6'3" too...I hope I'm not terrifying to kids, ha ha.)
And you broke 1,000 words, which I guess makes you our first "winner," ha ha.
You made it look effortless. If I could give you an "awesome" badge, I would.
