A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The black cat had been sitting on the kitchen windowsill since before the kettle went on, and Margaret Pell had decided it was a sign. Not of anything in particular. Just a sign that the bread would not rise in this weather and that she should stop trying. Her brother Dennis came in stamping snow off his boots and said the cat was not a sign, it was a cat, and it wanted feeding.

He was right, as he usually was about things that didn't matter. The creature was small and thin and had the cheek of a lodger who had never paid rent. It ate the cold sausage off the board, then the butter, then sat with its tail curled round its feet as if it owned the farm and the snow and both of them. Dennis tried to shoo it with a tea towel. It looked at him with its enormous pale eyes, flicked one ear, and did not move an inch.

By the third day the hens had stopped laying out of pure disapproval, and the milk churn had gone sour. Margaret found the cat asleep in the feed bin and laughed for the first time since the funeral. Dennis came out to see what the noise was and found them both looking at him, woman and cat alike, with precisely the same expression.

In March the lambs came early and the cat was there in the lambing shed, watching every birth like a midwife who had seen it all. Margaret named it Sergeant. Dennis insisted it was a Tom. Neither of them ever proved the other wrong.
