CatsCast 10: The Stray by Christina Westcott
Episode description
December, 2022. Author: Christina Westcott Narrator: Dom Rabrun
The Stray is a CatsCast original.
Content Note: There are scenes of violence between humans, a dog, and a cat.
As a kitten, my mam told me a cat could squeeze through any hole he could get his head in, but I hadn’t accounted for my body armor. No cat worth his whiskers would travel north into the wilds of Georgia without that extra protection from wolves and feral humans. I tried to back out of the tangle of briers, but a stick snagged under my harness, halting my progress.
I flung my weight against the brush, branches cracking and armor jingling, but froze as a breeze carried the scent of feral humans to me. With my dark fur, they wouldn’t notice me in the shadows—not unless they had a dog.
