The Cat's Mother

The last few messages from her that I received were increasingly desperate requests to call her.

When I finally had a free moment, I ducked into the cold room and called her.

"Sorry, I was busy serving-"

"She's dead!"

I paused, expecting more information, but none was forthcoming.

"You need to be more specfic here, She's the cat's mother after all."

"Yes!"

I blinked.

"Yes what?"

"Yes, she is the one!"

"Who?"

"The cat's mother!"

"Okay?"

"You don't understand, the cat's going to be next!"

By the time I learnt about her grand aunt's will situation, it was too late.
