#MastoPrompt 14 March 2025: #hallowed
#MrWhiskers
The orange cat settled in and started to figure out indoor life with Mr. Whiskers and his mother. She didn't quite understand about Mother's den. It was hallowed ground upon which only Mr. Whiskers could pass. Well, and maybe Mother. The orange cat just strolled in to check out Mother's cauldron. Without asking permission! She obviously needs to learn the rules.

Since she chose to stay
her love spell is all around
celestial living
