The two grey Detective Cats can’t Google, you can. Type “The Craft of Research” into Google and you should, if you get the results I do, be able to download free, gratis and for nothing, a pdf copy of this excellent book. The cats say that’s an eight paws result.

Flash fiction - Introducing the detective cats

Visible to anyone in the world

The two grey detective cats aren’t very good at detecting. They’re very good at detecting when their food bowls are full. They’re also very good at detecting when their food bowls are empty. But give them a mystery and they’re suddenly very good at sleeping, or asking to go out.

What do you call a play you don’t like – The Secret Agent. Still running and liable to consequently tour as ‘fresh from Edinburgh’. Fresh out of ideas, acting and direction. On exiting I asked for a refund and was offered the script instead. ‘For nothing, as compensation?’ I suggested. No.

One, two.

It was hot. I made my regular trip to check on the moggies, me hot with the heat, them sparked out in the sun.

One – panic.

Again. Behind the bins, under the car, by the rough grass. One.

Then the car cover billowed and bustled, windlessly.

One, two.
