It was all about the cat.
It had always been all about Tiddles. She had always loved it more than him. The cat could do no wrong, but he could! Her obsession with her cat was more than he could take. The animal was doted on by her to the point where he just couldn’t take it anymore. To what degree he had been driven into a state of blind madness, no one would ever know. He carefully covered the grave with twigs and leaves. No one would ever know. She went to visit her sister, but never got there. No one knows why. No one would ever know.
When he got home, the cat began meowing around his ankles, he only just managed to stop himself from kicking it when a phone sounded. It came from all her personal belongings he’d stripped from the body. It was a text message, from her! It read, ‘I know what you did. Don’t forget to feed Tiddles, or else!’
In a way, the madness returned. It was a different kind of madness. He would always feed and be very nice to the cat… why?
No one would ever know.
