This is how it works: I choose a key paragraph from a news report and quote the finishing sentence. Your task is to fill in the supporting information that provides context for that sentence.
Here we go;
“Xxxx xxxxx xxx xxx xx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xx xx x xxxxxxx xx xx xxxxxx xxxx x xxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxx xx x xxxx-xx xxxx xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxx xxx xx xxx xxx xxx xxxxxx xx xxx xxx xxx xx xxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxx xxx xxxx xx xxx xxxxx. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
You need not match the word lengths represented by “xxx” or try to tease out what they stand for. Just draw upon your own observations and knowledge of what sort of circumstances might have led to a story being published about a cat screaming for its life.
Easy? Easy.
Tomorrow evening I’ll link the story, and we can revisit how close everyone came.
No cheating! If you’ve already seen it, just stand down for this one.
“Dr. Fauci determined that the best way to discover a cure for COVID was to dunk various creatures in battery acid. The puppies and bunnies were unable to escape the concoction, but one kitten managed to leap out of the mixture after several seconds. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
Well done.
Agreed.
I could have had some fun with this, but sadly, I must “stand down”.
White House insiders report today that VP Kamala Harris was approached by a staffer carrying their pet cat. VP Harris was coaxed into holding the cat and began laughing . The cat howled when he heard her laugh, and tried to bolt. Harris held tight, laughed lowder and the cat finally got away. As the cat ran it was screaming for it’s life.”
Probably not even close but I had a vision when I read ‘cat screaming’.
I must duly stand down, but I fully know why said cat screamed.
Good rule, Kate.
Me too. Saw the story. Totally fucked up.
Like the Fauci one though 🙂
I too, have to stand down … in the words of Dr. Venkman … ~ weird~
I found the news item, too. Yikes!
Catherine McKenna and Barack Obama decided to change their diets. And the cat was screaming for its life.
I know what this is about… Double face palm.

Dude! Stand the hell down!
One in every crowd.
I can’t wait till tomorrow
This is just like Christmas
Thanks Kate !
A white un married woman from Van Nuys California took her licensed vaccinated emotional support animal on the bus to the San Diego zoo to introduce it to new experiences and to meet other animals on the popular Animals -Are- People-Too-Day. After meeting and having emotionally supporting encounters with pygmy goats and Beluga whales Ms Pierce took her cat (Mr Boop’n’hymer) to the obviously roped off and excluded section for the day containing, amongst other exhibits, the Bengal tigers.
Bystanders forced to throw things cover childrens eyes and run for help while trying to distract the giant 600 pound orange felines playing tug of war tried to console the hysterical owner. And the cat was screaming for its life.
Not a normal cat, obviously.
Trudeau droned on in the House of Commons but today was no ordinary day. They cut his mike, they cut off his earwig to stop feeding him material, and he just wouldn’t stop reciting his eternal stump speech. The local mouser couldn’t stand it either. And the cat was screaming for its life just before it leapt to its death in agony. No one else noticed because they had long since evacuated the premises and abandoned all hope.
It sort of reminds me of a line from an old Shaft movie.
Shut yo mouth!
BC police rescued the animals from a flooded Abottsford veterinary office, as further rains caused the flood waters to rise with the dogs and cats trapped in their cages. As they entered the building, the dogs were barking while the cat was screaming for its life.
SHA chief medical officer Susan Shaw was at the exhibitions grounds today viewing childhood vaccinations. One family had brought their male Siamese cat in order to comfort their nine year old daughter while preparing for injection. Nurses mentioned that Susan had come up to pet the cat and it started to hiss then turned and sprayed her with Urine. Nurses chased it away with vaccination needles. And the cat was screaming for it’s life.
The Red Coats were coming, Cool Cat and Mama were going to the can. Separately.
We are seeing further proof of the impacts of global warming after a east coast family’s home became deluged with rising water levels. The family grabbed what they could before their home was just a roofline peeking from the ocean waves. The family cat managed to find safety upon the roof, but a passing pair of seals trying to evade a polar bear climbed onto the roof with the cat. The last the family saw was the cat, screaming for its life.
I found the actual story and it certainly lived up to my much-abused expectations. We live in a bizarre world.
Bizarre cat has bizarre owner. Panic and screaming eventually ensue. From the cat.
Yes, I saw this and knew immediately what you were referring to.
Life just gets crazier by the day.
I couldn’t help myself…I had to search for ” And the cat was screaming for its life”
Holy hell…
“Some Trump hat men of dull mind chanting Make American or by a gesture of my finger make a very obscene statement like Yo a hard-on very likely to stimulate by its sight two of the ten old ladies in the red bus of seven day fun pleasing all the new boys in the sedan. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
According to school officials, chaos erupted at Riverside Middle School when the instructor of the new class on How to Choose Your Emotional Support Animal lost control of several of the larger animal options provided by the local animal sanctuary for students to meet. According to eye witness accounts, a male peacock suddenly took wing startling a pot bellied pig. The irrate pig attacked a swan, several fainting goats and a Holstein calf. The intense scene sent the instructors personal emotional support cat screaming for it’s life.
It’s an oldie, but here’s “There’s a cat in the kettle at the Peking Moon:”

tried not to read anything before this post!
“…when the firemen arrived, it was quickly determined that the 700 lb. Mr. Smith would need more than human strength to be lifted from his precarious position. Following a brief radio call, the crew from fire station 2 arrived within minutes with a small but powerful forklift to hoist Mr. Smith. The crew was startled when “blubber”, Mr. Smith’s cat, emerged from underneath. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
Ghislaine Maxwell was put into solitary for the week-end after allegedly screaming that Jeffery Epstein was innocent. Her rage filled rants were so over the top that guards felt this the best course of action for everyone’s safety. Strangely, when Ms. Maxwell was removed from her cell, the guards noticed that she had a feline tucked under her arm, holding it like Jim Brown held a football when headed into the endzone. And the cat was screaming for its life.
I couldn’t resist. YeahWell, where art thou?
“It is uncertain whether Mr. Shroedinger was holidaying or not, but the box in his front door was attracting a lot of unwanted attention. The Heisenbergs, neighbors and close friends to Mr. Shroedinger, decided to move the box, but the sharp bitter-almond smell from the box prompted them to open and check it out. To their surprise, a cat ran form the box, and the cat was screaming for its life.”
I doff my chapeau to you, FedUp!
I have my days….
That was brilliant.
I have not heard of any cat stories yet, but can only imagine considering the stuff coming out recently.
So I’m gonna take the high road here.
“68lb wheat filled to the brim on the Tridem. Heaping piles made rolling the tarp impossible. Didn’t have to worry because of the weight of the seed. Over 1/4 mile through the field to get to the road. Rolling hills and soft dirt. Cooler full of beers to cool the brow. “That’s when the CAT ‘3406’ started screaming for its life!!”
Ahh the memories
I was considering coming up with a story involving a Cat. I couldn’t think of anything at the spur of the moment.
“Some loser may say so what Erin ignoring your platform so by a figment of my reason what I want somehow appearing like as a gone-by Dief moment or Harperian it may prove per se Max was the leader of the bad old me party and may fiercely run off his very ad hoc mouth. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
After 2022, the UK government introduced mandatory micro-chipping of pet cats, at a cost of £30 plus admin fees. They claimed this was for the benefit of cats, despite campaigners having pointed out that many cats would be abandoned and killed because poorer owners could not afford the procedures, particular for litters of kittens. We visited 78 year old Edith whose beloved cat Oliver, her only companion, was being taken away by animal welfare workers to be euthanised. Edith, who lives below the poverty line, was too distraught to talk. And the cat was screaming for its life.

I assumed you had to match the word lengths. So that’s why mine are a bit odd sounding.
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a sound was heard, not even a mouse. Then, one of the kids came out of the kitchen, and yelled, ”mommy, mommy, the cat crawled into the microwave, and I didn’t realize it was there. When I closed the door, the motor started to hum, and the cat was screaming………………………..
As the Brits would say, “brilliant”!
This was a brilliant segment, Kate. Lets do it more often.
I know it would be too easy, but the next one could begin with “Peppermint Patty stood firm in front of the White House press corps today, insisting that President Biden was not lying when he said…”
I have this on the record from a lawyer who was describing the restaurant he and his friends patronized. (I’m not vaxed so I can’t enter the premises to verify the report in person.) The chow chow barked “now now” and the cat was screaming for its life.
Searched this, read results without going to article as that was enough to know I am sorry I searched this.
Young Erica, a transgenda child of unknown genda, had the perfectly legitimate idea that species is a social construct. Well, you can guess the rest, and the cat was screaming for its life.
Sorry, I’m not into more stories about Elizabeth May.
This story is about the Idiot family. Mr. and Mrs. Idiot were taking their son, Tired of Idiots to the SPCA to adopt a cat. There were many cats to choose from but little Mr. Idiot had his eye on a big black cat. Mr. Idiot started petting the black cat and for some unknown reason little Mr. Idiot pulled out his mother’s Big Black Dildo covered in barb wire. “And the cat was screaming for its life.”
But the story doesn’t end there. Young Mr. Idiot had ruined his mother’s black dildo and was punished. To this day Mr. Idiot is frightened of pussy and sex toys. His wife, John will not allow a Big Black Dildo into their matramorial bed. The end.
I may have taken some writers license here but you get the point. An Idiot is always an Idiot.
As a performance art video, the U of T student strung up the cat, and tortured it to death by first plucking out its eyes, then disembowelling it. For this he received a suspended sentence. (Yup, absolutely true story.)
My comments are not very sexy.
Old VETERANS Bucket Lists. My buddies and I made it down from Mt Everest and we’re hungry enough to eat a Water Buffalo.
Soooo we stopped at a Chinese Wet Marketplace, dead nukemoned fish and dogs hanging around the restaurant. Don’t have to show any Bullshit vaccine card to get in, Anyway…
One of my bros is chomping down a WUHAN CAVE Black hairy Bat Wing. Other brother is eating 4 live baby mice, as they scream I am chasing the owners cat with a baseball bat. THE OWNER AND The cat was screaming for its life.
Twas the night before Justinmas. A Nations leader was lugging a cat carrier into the Lake Cottage which contained a tortoise coloured cat with a black face. Like so many had done during the china virus plague it was a rescued pandemic pet brought home to comfort the housebound. The Leaders wife set down her organic water and unfurled hereslf from her yoga pose. Is that stray pussy? she queried. With that she hugged the cat tightly to her bosom and seemingly without a seconds hesitation burst into song. “Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur, happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr,purr, purr” At that moment it was as if a wendigo had been unleashed! Coons awoken and started running in the attic and falling through the ceiling…squirrels with their cheeks stuffed with nuts crashed into and through windows…a coyote howled…and the worst of all was a Liberal rat pack came pouring out from under the baseboards. The cat was terrorized! making a hasty escape through a broken window. Part way down the driveway it encountered Momamaggie, clad only in an open bathrobe and no underpants dumping the WE bus tanks into the septic tank. It was at this point the cat was screaming for its life.
Ah. Yorgut
Bullshit is Organic and Knee Deep on these computer digital pages.
YES MASTER.
Staying with the more difficult matching of word length theme …
“Long after the day of very rude messages from Chairman Xi in a January of US voting fail, a grim mailman delivered most of a post-it note saying by innuendos in the worst way he may not run unseen by the bat lab in Wuhan ten day sniffles and cat not safe in the panic. And the cat was screaming for its life.”
“They voted and two of five were sensible even assuming by it a victory as by Justin sock a nice picture beckoning lady of a mess-ed mind mainly by liquoring of the total way of the Liz May caucus of one and she of brief ten day interest had cat put down in the Annex. And the cat was screaming for its wife.”
While Joe Biden was flying to Israel to become the liaison for negotiating peace in the middle east, Golda Meir noticed that Kamala Harris was trying to force a cat to latch on and breastfeed from the Biden Admin’s first transgender General. Jen Psaki reported that it was the fault of earlier Trump policies and that the cat was screaming for its life. . . Or maybe it was Golda screaming . . .
The beginning of training society for the near term consequential depravations of collectivism as we mask march into shared misery.
They screw up royally and end up killing thousands; but the “emergency” would have been worse if not for their sage intervention.
Failure is not their problem. Someone or something else is to blame. Covid causes gang shoplifting. Yes, that’s it, Psaki says. Which virus?
Perhaps a follow-up of let me rephrase, are your insane policies over covid and hostility to police to blame for higher crime rates?
These are the people who lead us, the illegal regals? Show me in our laws where they get to do any of this to us? The bigger the government the smaller its citizens; always has been and always will be, in the 30s depression era and the one we’re headed for now.
That’s why we have to wear frigging petri dish face diapers in public now, to atomize us. You never need to see other faces again.
The government will fill in the gap by demoralizing an entire generation of school age kids, dumbed down scientism and emotion.
Watch our children decline as they lose years of proper development through incomplete education and masked fear and loathing.
We must stop them; they’ll never cease what feeds their hegemony, contradictions, concocted assumptions and statist world view.
If we don’t remove them by electoral force the unenlightened despots will never let us off the hook of their proletariat dictatorship.
Our cost ignored, all benefit theirs. Omicron proves it. Sniffles risk dwarfed by social and economic blowback with no payback.
When the shit hits the fan, or the protester meets the water cannon, after we find out socialism’s economic haircut, except for the elites and enforcers, what will we do then. Will we say it’s not big deal, just a mask or half full restaurant, or a vote, or our child?
Consider this future, as productivity crashes and markets are undermined by taxation, intervention and climate wokeism, sure in their hearts and consciences of their virtue so never needing to question their assumptions. Consistency is for the little people statistics.
Covid risk now is vastly smaller now, but measures are near the top of the scale. How long before shutdowns and quarantine camps?
They have their scapegoats, the new Jews, just as invalid given covid communicability, now demonstrable. They will get us more angry at them until we become Australia North with quarantine camps and escapee manhunts.
Exponential doubling down on failure. How long before they turn on the rest of us, then themselves, as the pie shrinks?
