The FLASH!MOB prompt for June 2025 is THE CAT'S WHISKERS

300 to 1k wobbly words... any genre... any style... go wild with the whatifs!

What if...

  • a witch offers a cat a trade: two whiskers in exchange for fame and fortune but what's the catch?
  • a new car is described as 'the cat's whiskers' of all automobiles... when its engine starts to purr, that's not the only feline trait, its owner discovers...
  • a street kitten is born with whiskers that glow in the dark... a blessing or a curse?
  • the cat who rules the roost at The Cat's Whiskers Tavern is not happy when a duck turns up at the door offering a secret recipe in exchange for a bed for the night

Any of these or whatever springs to mind... have fun and happy writing.

Deadline: 30th June 2025

A note on wobbly word counts: 300 words is just a rough guide.. anything up to 1k words or so is fine xx
