“Blink” by Bill Tope
Eric Smith sat in the recliner in his living room, casually perusing his newspaper, when he felt a sudden creepy feeling hanging around his neck and chin. Unnerved, he glanced up and found his cat staring at him, unblinking, from across the room. Eric looked away, but almost immediately, his attention was riveted again upon the cat.
Smith owned Baby for nearly two years, since she was a kitten, and in all that time, he could swear that she did not once blink her eyes. Like two small luminous beacons, they bored into him. He felt under scrutiny, like a paramecium under a microscope. Smith frowned.
“Why do you keep staring at me, you silly cat?” he asked angrily.
Baby stared on. Not a whisker moved out of place. Suddenly, the little cat yawned widely, revealing the standard cat smile of twenty-eight glistening white teeth.
Smith looked speculatively at her, but was disappointed. The cat didn’t blink her pale green eyes! Smith blew out a weary breath and shook his head unhappily.
Surely, thought Smith, the cat didn’t sleep with her eyes open. Did she? he wondered. His gaze was drawn back to the cat, lying on her side upon an area rug, and he stared at her as hard as he was able. Frustrated, he looked away. He couldn’t outstare the darn cat. Suddenly, inspiration struck.
He hurried to the store and returned bearing a three-pound brick of catnip. Unsheathing the plastic wrapping, he pulled the compressed nip apart with his fingers, distributing it liberally throughout the room; Baby couldn’t help but find it. There, thought Smith, rubbing his hands eagerly together, he’d make that cat blink!
Baby, who’d never experienced the hallucinogenic or soporific effects of catnip before, sniffed it experimentally, then took a little nibble and softly chewed. Her eyes, if anything, opened wider. The little black and white cat tore into the leaves, devouring, smelling, rolling in the plant fragments. Eric nodded in satisfaction. This’ll do the trick, he thought, gloating.
He watched Baby, now feeling the effects of the nip, as she flopped back down and yawned again, widely. But Smith couldn’t see her eyes. What was happening? he wondered. All at once, Baby’s eyes sagged, drooping almost to the point of closing. Smith sat on the edge of his seat, watching. Then, just as suddenly, like blinds that had been pulled halfway down and then released, her eyelids snapped open. On the edge of his chair, Smith fell off and onto the floor with a loud bang.
Pulling himself unsteadily to his feet, Eric Smith stumbled to his bedroom and was soon snoring softly.
Baby relaxed at last. Holding a medicine dropper awkwardly between her two paws–no opposable thumbs–she squeezed a drop of saline solution into each eye. Eric Smith, she thought, was a hard nut to crack. He almost had her that time. But Baby had resolved to do what she could to maintain the myths of cathood. Uttering a great sigh, she closed her eyes and dropped off into a blissful and well-deserved sleep.
