A Fishy Tale

You know the old saying, “curiosity killed the cat”? Sometimes it’s not just a saying. Take for example a certain tomcat named Manny the Mooch, who made his living begging for handouts down at the docks on the east side. One day Manny pokes his nose where it don’t belong, sees things he ain’t supposed to see. Now he sleeps with the fishes.

You say that like it’s a bad thing.

      That’s a mighty fishy story, Manny, but it certainly explains your perfume! (Exactly what I thought, too!)

    Manny is in cat heaven.

    I’m laughing so hard, the cats are staring at me! Dying to know the backstory here.

      He found a bottle with a genie inside,and this is what he wished for?
      He won the cat power ball lottery?
      He hit the cat-slave jackpot?

    Hummmmm. Backstory you say? How about bait for fishermen(and/or women)? Sushi past it’s “sell by” date? Mini-appetizers for that coming New Year’s Eve bash? Manny hoarding snacks for later? Specially wrapped presents for all of Manny’s kitty friends (note the green seaweed)?

    Oh, you are all so witty! And I can’t think of anything because I’m laughing too hard, especially at “now he sleeps with the fishes”. Interesting to note that it’s much funnier to say “fishes” than “fish”.

      I was going to do something about ‘Seal-y Posturepedic,’ but Gigi was way ahead of me 😀

        You’re good, I didn’t even think of Seal-y.

    Now the famous musician, Cat Calloway, will have to write a song about him.
