Shady Cat Series

I started to write out some of the short ‘mitsi’ stories I tell my daughter before bed, which often feature Shady Cat, who has a striking similarity to her cat Hinata. If you don’t know about mitsi, they are basically a type of parable but without the connection to any particular morality. The beauty of a mitsi is they can be as short or long as you want, and you can change them to fit your audience as you go, or even just make the whole thing up on the spot, which is often what I do. You can read a small portion of her adventures in the link on the top the page, but understand these are just an outline- I often change the story midstream and also take cues and ideas from her as she jumps into the story. For instance, Sun Dog; Shady Cat’s nemesis, is entirely her creation- and he will be back for more soon!
