My cat Fuzz sprang onto the
kitchen counter, strode to
the sink, and flinged herself onto the cool
porcelain for an afternoon nap. Only here was she safe from the pursuit
of Oreo, the dog.
The third verb, flinged, is the problem. The sentence requires the simple past. Flung is the correctly spelled form.
