The Kitten


The Kitten

 

April 4, 1861. St Louis

The kitten is black, white, and orangy-brown. She is a tiny sweetheart everybody loves the minute they look into her dear little face. Twenty two year old Jacob Parrish, extremely successful in land investment, is the proud owner of this wonderful kitten. Jacob's beloved fiancee, the beautiful and elegant Cynthia Wheelock, loves the kitten even more than he does.

Jacob and Cynthia have seats on a train for Boston, so that Cynthia can introduce Jacob to her mother before they are married. The little rail stop outside of town has no station house. It's very hot for April and the train and is twenty minutes late. The kitten is with them, but Jacob has just discovered that he is without the bottle of formula the veterinarian gave him.

Cynthia looks worried. "Jacob, she's hungry. What shall we do?"

"The train is coming soon. We can get milk on board."

"What if it doesn't come till the next time slot in eight hours? The one we're expecting may have broken down. She needs nourishment right now. Look at her." Admittedly the kitten does look a bit piqued.

"All right, just for you, my love. We passed a farm about a mile back. It's too hot. You stay with the kitten and I'll walk back and buy some milk, if I can raise the farmer. But just in case, let's wait another half hour or so for the train. Let's go into the woods and find a cool spot. The sun is flailing on me just like an angry octopus. We have to get into shade".

They walk to the woods and enter a lovely, well irrigated area, with a large stream meandering through. Jacob takes Cynthia's hand and they hop from one mossy little island to another, each too small to occupy. Finally they find a big one, but Jacob notices an army of medium sized red ants rapidly crossing a fallen branch from a bigger island where their rotted tree metropolis was torn apart by a black bear seeking food.

Jacob can tell by the way these ants move that they are aggressive and should be avoided even though this island is otherwise perfect. Seeing that Cynthia is about to sit, Jacob says "No, cross to the next one, unless you want some of those fellows in your petticoat. If that happens I'll have to disrobe you before our wedding night and brush them off your shapely young body." He points to the ants.

"If you try that, Mister Parrish, on our wedding night I'll deny you my favors, wait till you are asleep, tie you up, and put red ants on your Thomas!" she says with a teasing female look. Jacob laughs. He never ceases to be amazed at the remarkable things this lovely young woman will say. It's just one more reason why he loves her so much. But now he shows resolve and directs her to the next little island which is just big enough.

"You are such a worrywart. They're only ants". They cross and sit on a large rock. Cynthia puts the kitten on the mossy carpet and the little one just sits, looking around. After an hour the train still hasn't come and Jacob says, "I better head back to the farm". He kisses Cynthia and leaves. In this heat, Cynthia feels drowsy and dozes. She doesn't notice that the kitten has ventured out onto a large piece of fallen tree bark partially in the water.

Cynthia opens her eyes just in time to see the kitten's little bark boat disembark into the main flow of the stream heading rapidly away to parts unknown. She jumps up to follow, but slips on the wet moss at the water's edge and falls over backwards, hits her head against a mossy rock, and is knocked unconscious. Cynthia's arm is draped out above her head and her hand just contacts the island they had passed over. The hungry ants cross her arm rapidly, swarm all over her exposed parts, and within five minutes have stripped all the outer layer of skin completely off her face. Then she awakens.

The large finely paneled waiting room at the mental hospital lend a feeling of confidence to Jacob as he waits. The doctor tries to smile but the news is not good... "I'm sorry, Jacob. I'm afraid she is hopelessly insane, and I can't say when there will be any change. Usually time alone... but I just can't say. There is little clinical precedent for comparison. This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. I know that you love her, but must recommend that you try to somehow move on in your life. The chapter with Cynthia is simply over."

Jacob has been very dejected for the past month. He has tried to visit Cynthia, but the doctor always advises against it. Finally he is told to come. As he enters the room he sees his love in a white robe wearing a gauze mask painted to resemble her former face. The nurses have bathed Cynthia and fixed her hair. He crosses the room briskly and embraces her warmly, and suddenly feels the point of the scissors she has been hiding pierce his neck. He falls to the floor.

Jacob awakens in hospital finally facing the fact that his relationship with Cynthia is over. The physical pain of his injury is very great. The doctor says that because of nerve damage the pain will be ongoing and gives Jacob a potion of laudanum and cannabis with a strong admonition that he should not increase the frequency or the amount of the prescribed dose.

September 3, 1861

Jacob arrives in New York City and within a few weeks, because of physical pain, begins to frequent an opium den on he waterfront. As the weeks pass, his romantic disillusionment and love of danger combine with the heightened sexual imagination of his opium dreams to lead him into a relationship with a strange cruel woman. She is tall, slender, voluptuous, and very beautiful. She frequently holds Jacob in close restraint for hours or even one or two days at a time.

The woman is grim in her practice of torment. On one occasion, she uses red ants. A coincidence, no doubt. Sometimes the couple is joined by a petite young girl with long red hair. This shapely little tart is very strict with her switch and billy club. She insists on obedient oral attention, but only from her naval downward. Both women are, of course, charter subscribers to the notorious publication privately circulated during this period known as "The Penis Torture Gazette". 

In between these episodes Jacob visits the opium den more and more frequently. As we might expect, Jacob's health has begun to deteriorate and his looks along with it. One day the woman tires of him and farms him out to another, very different, woman. Ham doesn't like men and sometimes beats Jacob's buttocks for one or two hours at a time with her wide leather strap. Jacob is quite beyond our help at this point and we will now part company with him.

Meanwhile at the insane asylum, Cynthia is being visited by a muscular young orderly who has a special deal with his girlfriend, the night nurse. Twice a week Cynthia bathes. On the first visit the orderly runs in naked, wrestles Cynthia down, and rapes her on the floor. After the initial struggle and screaming, Cynthia begins to moan, and finally calls out Jacob's name several times. This goes on twice a week for three months. Lately, however, marital and money troubles have given the orderly tremendous self reproach. From this point on he always precedes the rape with a good hard blackjacking just to show Cynthia "who is boss."

In the interim, with all this human nonsense going on, what has happened to the World's Dearest Little Kitty Kat?

The kitten is thrilled and amazed as she braves the tiny rapids of the stream in her vessel of bark. Wee! About two miles downstream the water slows as it comes to a large dairy farm. A pretty little six year old blond girl named Katy has just come down to play on the stream bank and finds the kitten sitting on the bark among the cat-tails. She gets her father and he takes the kitten to a big mother cat who is nursing a small litter and has two extra nipples. The kitten is saved.

Katy names the kitten Farina, who grows up to be a fine large cat, and has two litters of her own. Eventually, however, Katy's pa sells the farm and the new farmer chases all the cats away. As a marksman he enjoys shooting the rats which most dairymen leave to the cats who they usually encourage with surplus milk.

Now Farina is feral and relocates to a new home under a shed on a chicken farm two miles down the road. She learns to raid the hen house, but one night comes face to face with a small but very energetic competitor. Instinct tells her not to engage this fellow even though she is twelve times his size. The weasel is small, but oh my! He often kills three chickens at a time just for the first gush of blood he gets from the throats. Then he leaves. On these occasions Farina just waits for the weasel to depart and then feasts on what he has killed.

One day Farina is just about to enjoy a plump hen she has just killed when she feels a terrible pain in her neck. The farmer's big gray German Shepherd, Dortmunder, has just grabbed her from behind. He shakes her hard. This breaks her neck and she dies instantly.

Farina was a dear little sweetheart, but she's gone now. She is, however, survived by fourteen new kitties she brought into the world, which is certainly a good deal more than we can say for our friends Jacob and Cynthia who at this very moment are being mercilessly beaten by their respective tormentors.

Jeff says "Worked out pretty good for the cat."

He sighs then thinks:

"But what a sad ending for the people. The initial physical pain helped Jacob into the whole mess with the opium, but if only he could have simply accepted that sometimes life makes endings to love relationships."

An hour later he finally admits to himself "I've lost Cathy. I never really had her anyway. Time to face up to it and get on with my life. The girls are too much into each other and I'm on the outside. It's not going to change."

That night he tells the girls nothing. He parties with them briefly and retires early.

The next day Jeff goes rental hunting and finds a nice little house within walking distnce of the campus.

May 20, 2023

Jeff gets his furniture delivered. The next morning he lets the girls leave as usual, packs the few things in his room and moves to his new house.

He comes home to the girls as usual that night and after the evening pleasantries at dinner he says "Attention please! Ladies, your rental expense is going up, because I'm out!"

Sharron looks surprised "You can't leave. You are a prisoner of love."

Jeff chuckles. "Love, my ass! A prisoner of adrenalin, dopamine, and serotonin is more like it. I've spent too much time with all this nonsense. Free at last! Free at last! Like the Ravens of Odin, I'm free at last!" he says with a jazzy grin.

Cathy looks hurt, but says nothing. Sharron looks enraged. Jeff does the dishes as usual. He puts his favorite little Roman Key juice glass into his coat pocket and says "It's just a local move. We can keep in touch if you want."

Sharron comes into the kitchen, grabs a carving knife, screaming savagely, "Eat this, you bastard!" as she rushes Jeff with knife raised overhead. He grabs her arm, subdues her to the floor, and yells to Cathy, who is standing petrified, "Wake up, call 911!"

Later, after the police take Sharron away, Jeff kisses Cathy tenderly on the cheek like she was a little girl and, with a tremble in his voice, says "Goodbye, dearest of my heart" and heads for the door.

Cathy jumps up, also with a tremble in her voice, and says "Aren't you even going to pack? Where will you go? Do you have another girlfriend? Is that it?"

"Earlier today I moved all my stuff to the new place. No new girlfriend yet, but you know me... It won't take long. There are some serious cuties on campus this year."

Cathy visits Sharron in the prison hospital and finds out that she had been doing meth crystal in secret for weeks and getting crazier by the hour. With drug intervention therapy, Sharron kicks the meth in ten days without any brain damage. As the weeks pass, the shrink helps her with the molestation and man-hater problem and Sharron is finally released, and returns to Cathy and school.
