I think the way you set the story up with Felix being reluctant to participate in the family business allows it to end with Felix being behind the faulty water in an elaborate plan to free the animals. That’s where my head went anyway.

There are so many directions! I spent a lot of time with this story but couldnt think of how to do it properly. Maybe i was being a perfectionist. Thank you for reading and for offering your suggestion!

All good, Scoot. Proper stories don’t always respond well to deadlines. Something of the stray cat about them!

This was great! I love that it's a whole cat stealing crime syndicate. One big conspiracy! Then for the poisoned water... It was aliens!!

I liked it because I enjoy a mystery and suspense at times. However I am an animal lover and can understand how you wouldn't want to continue with any harm done to the animals. But the way I look at it, is it's just a fiction story and as long as you don't really feel the way your imagination was taking you, it's alright. Just my opinion.

I love Felix's 'whatever' attitude! It's so relatable, especially when parents want their kids to continue the family business. I also want to see Felix get into some real trouble with Uncle Lou. Perhaps Lou accuses him of working with a rival gang to poison the cats? Then Felix has to go undercover to prove his loyalty, but he falls in love with the rival's daughter. I imagine a Romeo and Juliet kinda story unfolding...
