It's called "The White Cat" and is written by Joyce Carol Oates.<br />Here's the link :<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/3b8mtxs<br /><br />( I hope the link works. Let me know if it doesn't.

Yes, throwing the cat through the window ...Cheryl,<br /><br />Yes, throwing the cat through the window is absurd, but he's forced to come up with that in order to explain why the cat was plastered in the wall. It certainly foreshadows future events, doesn't it? <br /><br />It's a great story--one of my favorite Poe tales.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10233846613173866140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-897228097627164771.post-91500625779658463482011-07-25T07:10:44.096-07:002011-07-25T07:10:44.096-07:00Fred,
Wow, what an interesting view of this story...Fred,<br /><br />Wow, what an interesting view of this story! I always thought the part where someone throws the hanged cat through the window to wake him during the fire to be a bit "off". I'm sure there were other things to throw - rocks, potted plants. etc. outside his house. I also like your explanation of the figure of the hanged cat on the plaster wall after the fire. It makes more sense. <br /><br />CherylCherylnoreply@blogger.com
