This is another story I just LOVE!
I would have to say that it's in a league of it's own!
I can't really say much of how I feel for it...
I will say it deserves to be read!
It's one of the better stories!
READ IT! Smile 9/10

The Cat From Hell
is about an old gentlemen who feels this cat has killed his family and friends who lived in the same house.
He wants this cat DEAD! He knows he could be next, but he wants to go out his own way.
So he calls a Hitman! The BEST Hitman! A Hitman with a GOOD Rep!
Him and the Hitman strikes a deal! I mean it is just a Cat! right? No harm in that!
Will the old man survive? Will the Hitman kill the cat, or will the cat kill him?
Read it! & find out! It deserves to be read! It's one of the BEST stories in "Just After Sunset".

King initially published the first 500 words of the story in March 1977 in Cavalier, and the magazine held a contest for readers to finish the story. The winning entry, as well as King's complete story, was published in the magazine in June of the same year. It also appeared in Gent Vol. 18 #6 (December 1977), credited to King and Marc Rains. King revised the story and it was reprinted in Tales of Unknown Horror (1978), in Year's Finest Fantasy (1978), in Magicats! (1984), and again in Twists of the Tale: An Anthology of Cat Horror.

I iked this one, too. Reminded me of Church, if he had grown up.
I had a female cat named Church...
We had to give her away...
I FUCKING MISS HER!
We have 5 wild kittens in the yard. The mommy cat hide them. We didn't even realize we had 5 until 2 days ago when they scattered off the porch when we were leaving in the morning. We thought there was 1. Loki wants to catch one of the solid gray ones (there's 2) & name it Church.
Weird huh? But he has to be hit by a car to make his life complete! Hehe. JK
lol wow... lol Loki!
