The cat with no taste for fish

I have to agree with Justin. The "hidden message" lends itself to being a good piece. It may not have been your intent, but it did open the door. And invoking thought is never a bad thing, and keeping thought going is what helps us all develop. This may not have been your intent, but kudos for getting it done.

Too "elementary school". "There was a cat who had the misfortune of being born without an appreciation for fish." While you were able to toss in some ffity cent words, the opening line just didn't grab, as did the rest of the tale at face value. There was not much imagery formed in the article.

At face value, very weak, however I gave it a positive becuase it did provoke a debate.

My first read through I found this story to be mildly entertaining and simple. I thought it was a little too short, and I was going to vote it down. Then I read the comments. You stirred up quite a debate! There began a three way argument over whether or not your story was a metaphor to homosexuality or not. Now I'm not sure if that truly was your aim in writing this piece, but the fact that readers can get something so deep out of something so simple is incredible.

As I had said before, it was barely passable. The story was weak and so was the length. The premise was interesting enough, but you didn't go very far with it and it ended abruptly and somewhat anti-climactic. Everything is going wrong for the cat, and suddenly it's happily ever after.

Going beyond what I read literally, this story has a lot of possibility as a metaphorical statement. I wouldn't put it passed you for intending it to be since your other work seems to have a hint of reading between the lines. And on that fact alone, I gave this a thumbs up.
