Astronaut Cat John

Astronaut Cat John is crazy he heard through the pipe. He had no idea who was dissing him, but it sounded like a gripe. He’s kind of handsome, another feline purred, she said it sweetly. He would like to know who that was, he hoped it was Miss Sheetly. Miss Sheetly became a member of the crew before they blasted off. He was eager to know her better, she had no disease or cough. Some idiots were hiding their ailments so they could take the ride. They obviously cared nothing for the rest of the crew, clearly no pride. Miss Sheetly is gorgeous, Cat John thought, and had a day dream. He made her smile, laugh, and finally flat out love scream. Could barely look at her when he saw her swish around the next day. He found out the speaker had been Mrs. Rutherford, decrepit and gray.
