Chapter 1

My cat started talking after she was spayed.

"I'm going to kill you!"

I thought I’d misheard.

Until she lunged at me and said it again.

"I'm going to kill you!"

My hair stood on end. I immediately called for Liam, my boyfriend.

Liam said I was just imagining things because I was so worried about her. He told me to stop overthinking and locked her in her carrier.

But late that night, she spoke again: *I'm going to kill you!*

I jolted upright, opening my eyes to find her perched on my chest, glaring at me with pure malice.

I shot up in bed, and she swiped at my neck.

Liam snatched her up, threatening to throw her down the stairs. I quickly stopped him; I mean, I'd had her for two years! Besides, it was just post-op stress, we couldn't blame her entirely.

Only then did Liam put her back in the carrier. He then tied the carrier securely, front and back, with rope before finally relaxing.
