2nd Annual #50PRECIOUSWORDS Writing Challenge - Meowcus Welby, D.V.M.

Vivian Kirkfield has brought back her 50 Precious Words writing challenge, and boy is it a challenge! The rules are as follows: Write a story appropriate for kids ages 12 or under, using only 50 words…they can all be different words, or you can use some of them over and over…just as long as the total word count of the story is 50 or less. The title does not count towards the word limit. When I heard about this year's contest, I just happen to see a picture of a cat dressed as a doctor immediately afterwards. From there, this little story came to life. I hope you enjoy it.
Meowcus Welby, D.V.M.
(47 words)

“Mr. Furrypants, I have the results of your cat scan and it shows hairballs in your tummy.”

“You’ve got to be kitten me, Doc. What can I do?”

“I’ll give you a purrscription for catnip.”

“Will I need to see a purrgeon?”

“No. You’ll be feline.”

“Pawsome!”

Check out the other great 50 Precious Word entries here.

    This had me laughing. There's nothing I like better than clever puns, except maybe bad puns. Thank-you.

      Thanks Aileen. We only have one cat so far. I'm sure we'll catch up to you one of these days.

      Thank you for your very kind words Vivian. I'll see what kind of ideas I can reel in for a fish story for next year.

      At one time we had 4 cats. It was pretty catotic. ;) I can't imagine adding 3 more to the mix. Thanks for stopping by.
