Cat Tales: Miscellany and Mischief

July 8 (30DBC)

July 8 30DBC Prompt: You've discovered a new (animal, plant, alien, or other) species, and...

...I think it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

And possibly the cutest. All at the same time.

It's got little fox paws with purple tufts of fur between the padded toes. A reptilian tail, sparkling with rainbow scales, curls catlike around its feet and bottom. And are those...feathers...covering its mammalian little body?

It lifts its beaked head and stares at me with kind, amber eyes. One floppy ear, like a dog's, hangs loose while the other points up, turning, intent on a sound.

I'm gonna name it Cugly (pronounced KYOO-glee). Call it Cuge for short.
