Postcards from the Living Room Resort

Original cat comedy · Series collection · Fiction

Travel correspondent Dot has explored every corner of a home without needing a suitcase. Her fictional postcards review the sofa as a seaside retreat, the landing as a remote destination, and the guest room as a luxury property with unreliable availability. These ten pieces are travel-writing parodies about indoor cat life, not reviews of real hotels or advice about traveling with a pet. Follow Dot and companion Claude through an itinerary measured in footsteps, where the greatest inconvenience is discovering that your favorite destination has been tidied.

  7. The Window Seat Charges Extra for the View

    The window seat was occupied when Dot arrived. Claude had positioned himself across its best angle, creating what the resort industry might call a premium obstruction.

  8. Packing for a Trip Across the Rug

    Dot prepared carefully for her journey across the rug. She took herself, all four paws, and a firm belief that something might be different on the far side.

  9. The All-Inclusive Stay Excludes the Best Chair

    Dot’s home offered an impressive all-inclusive package: meals, sheltered accommodation, familiar people, and several approved places to sleep.

  10. A Postcard from Home, Where Dot Has Been All Along
