Tessa Checks out Mom’s Latest Scribblings – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
Mom’s always scribbling in notebooks. Scribble, scribble…what could be so interesting that she has to do it all the time? She’s got entire shelves filled with her scribblings and scribblings from many other humans too. Today, I thought it high-time I checked out her words for myself.

Hmm, words…words…words…can’t make sense of this structure. POV is completely whack. Didn’t seem to pay attention in basic third grade English class…
Needs Some Spice – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
Needs something…oh, that’s it. A plot! And a theme! And some action, snarky dialog, more action, all working on carrying along the reader and building toward…
The Prose is a Bit Flat – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
…something definitely not flat. Too passive, Mom. Your characters are cardboard. Nothing they do rings true. Move them, I say! Make them do something, anything! Throw in some wolves. I bet I could take on wolves.
And No Danger? I Weep for Your Readers! – 2013 © Colehaus Cats
What?!? These are tax notes? That’s what I, Tessa, a.k.a. Danger Cat, have wasted my time on? No witty dialog? No action? NO DANGER? Not even a little? Say it ain’t so!

Tax notes???? Nothing about cheese….socks??? What’s the point?
every body is a critic! 🙂
Tessa, our human has a house full of stuff that we aren’t even supposed to touch and it’s a total waste of time. We’ve tasted most of it and it all tastes like cardboard, or something related. She wastes all this time when she could be napping with us and petting us and feeding us. Humans can be such a disappointment. ~Mimi and the Fantastic Four
Humans spend so much time scribbling things on paper. They should be putting out treats for us!
Tax notes = Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!! Happy napping! Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Our human makes lots of lists too but we don’t know why as she usually forgets where she’s put them. The most important writing she does is what cat food and treats we want when she goes shopping.

Allie: Tessa! *squee* My sister from another mother! *poses next to T*
I totally see the resemblance. Girlfriend, any time you want a mani/pedi you just let me know and I’ll hook you up with my
Spa*ahem* mom.Oh, and I completely agree. Books should have character development at the very least.
Oh yeah, Tessa. Tax notes are dry dry dry! Thank Cod it wasn’t a story by your Mom. 🙂
