Written for RDP, where Punam asks us
to get creative with the word “critters”.
Thanks, Punam! Here’s where the prompt took me.

Our son and daughter-in-law have taken Colette to Disney World for her 6th birthday. While they’re away, my husband is in charge of feeding their four cats and cleaning the litter boxes. It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to look after the critters. 🐈⬛

Can you tell which one of the cats is by their looks, as they all look similar to me.

Yes, we can tell them apart, but they are extremely similar. Galaxy is regal-looking with a muscular build. Phantom is a bit heavier and extremely laid-back. Midnight is a little raggedy-looking. The poor guy has been through the mill and has since lost an eye due to a bad infection which went undetected before my son and daughter-in-law adopted him. He also has the longest tail of all the cats. Raven is the only girl; she is petite and darts around the house like a run-away arrow! Their personalities are extremely different. Raven and Midnight are best of friends and very playful; the other two just tolerate them. 😆
