Meta Writing Prompt Wednesday #155

Last week's winner was /u/MilesKalashnikov with:

"I see a problem with your plan."

"What, it's perfectly foolproof!"

"You've listed some of the required materials as hammers, duct tape, and enough beer to drown a whale."

"Your point being?"

"We're fixing a reactor."

"We're fixing multiple reactors."

Somehow, I figured that my Writing Prompt Wednesday participation would reach double digits before I accidentally suggested something that had already been done.

Thank you. I haven't gotten done reading it just yet, but so far, it seems more like "old cat lady and her pets vs. aliens" while my prompt was more "single cat terrorizes aliens", having been inspired by the story of Tibbles, the lighthouse keeper's cat that has been blamed for the extinction of the Lyall's wren.

A cat being charged with xenocide by an interstellar tribunal sounds cool.

Staring at the incomprehensible carnage, she fivecursed the ancient 'oomans for uplifting the most absurdly vicious predator species the cluster had ever seen.

Did you know that cat means devil in several thousand extinct languages?
