 STORY OUTLINE

Weasley, a ginger domestic cat, introduces himself and his background. He reflects on his adoption by a loving family and his subsequent rehoming due to allergies. Weasley then recounts the incident where he accidentally tripped his new owner, causing her to fall and be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This event instills a deep sense of guilt in Weasley, which becomes a recurring theme throughout the story. He also introduces his feline friends, including Ron and Squeak, and hints at the adventures to come in Diamond Harbour.

BACKGROUND

This story was originally published on my website on 20th October 2018 and also included The Man Cave, a shed in the neighbour’s house which came to be a favourite hang-out spot for Weasley and “Ron”. Ron’s real name is Wilbert but becomes known to Weasley as Ron, because Weasley, believing Ron is homeless, always leaves a bit of food in his bowl for “Ron” (slang for ‘later on’). Their first night in the man cave causes Weasley to mistrust Ron, however the two soon become firm friends. I wrote a piece in my blog about tripping over Weasley when he was a kitten which can be found here.
