Cat Message: A Lockdown Love Story
March 2020. Ten days into lockdown, comic book artist Nick is struggling with the isolation. When his cat brings home a message from a neighbour, it’s a welcome distraction.
Soon, Nick finds himself depending on daily messages from Amanda to get through a bout of depression. But, just as he’s getting a handle on the new normal, the messages stop coming, and Nick has to choose whether to risk his life for a woman he’s never even met.
Bog roll shortages, clapping for the NHS and life on furlough; Cat Message captures the uncertain early days of the pandemic in the UK when people clung to the little things to keep their spirits up.

Sweet and … soothing
I adored this novelette. It’s a quick read, a couple of hours or so maybe. There was something healing about it, how it took me back to those scary, early-pandemic days, but in the context of such a sweet story. Compelling, well written, and just wonderful. Read it.
