The Rivals

[gilpin25]

I've posted another fic for rt_challenge, which is behind the link here, The Rivals It's a post-hospital fic if you want to run screaming now, but I can guarantee that no one utters the immortal words "Too old, etc.," and, hopefully, they avoid a few more of the usual things as well. Though not the importance of certain domestic items

Oh there's no such word as 'loyalty' in the cat dictionary - I'm sure they're in every house they can get a paw in the door of. How'd the stalking go? You know if you need any tips, I have written a book on the subject... ;).

I've got a Must Write list, too - although I'm kind of planning to tackle most of them in Werewolf, since that's pretty much my tick-all-the-boxes fic. I'm planning to do the battle at the DoM, Remus and The Ferals (sounds like a band...), the Patronus issue, HBP Christmas and the post-hospital wing chapter everyone dreads reading (and you've just raised the bar on those, so thanks... ;) ).

Of course I've now got a post rt_challenge must-write list too, which includes kinky radiator sex, Sirius molesting budgies, and possibly something where Remus has some more alone-time with his rock....

I haven't plucked up courage to try a collar yet, not least because I swear he's getting fatter by the day. Either his owners gave him all the Christmas turkey or someone else is feeding him - all he gets here is a saucer of milk and, obviously, the entertainment of peering in through our bathroom blinds, a trick he now seems to have mastered along with her. If the terriers turn up as well, we may be moving.

I need some stalking tips. It's not something I've tried before... ;)

I forgot HBP Christmas is on my list, too, but I do think your rt_challenge must-writes is the really interesting one, lol. Along with Remus and The Ferals. Wonder if their lyrics will be better than Depeche Mode's? ;)

Just like an angel, you give me your love, and I just can't seem to get enough.... howl.

Sorry you're now being perved on by two cats.... The key to a successful stalk is to remain inconspicuous - obviously picking a feline mark makes this tricky. Could you time a walk to the shops at the time that they leave, and just act natural? Walk past them as if you don't care they're there, and then peer over your shoulder at them with a small mirror? It's that or night-vision goggles (you'll find some very reasonably priced ones on eBay....).

I think I may have to buy Remus and The Ferals first single, you know. It's so catchy. Do you think they'll do a version of Ferals are Ferals, So why should it be, Greyback and I get along so awfully?

Okay, now I'm very worried. Not least by the amount of personal research that has obviously gone into your novel, lol.

Mind you, it's all a lot more intelligent than the Husband's suggestion of tying a very long piece of cotton round the cat's neck and then following it at dead of night... Whereupon we'll probably find a cat tied up round a bush.

My Must Write list has just expanded to include about Remus bringing home kittens. Or baby Kneazles. And discovering that Evanescos don't really work on litterboxes.

I'm also hoping I'll get prompts that will let me do that bowling one. Maybe for Remus' birthday...

Do you think the cats around your house might be Animagi? There's something supernatural about them, I think.

[gilpin25]

It's wrong that I find the prospect of Remus bringing home kittens much cuter than the multi-coloured werepup fics, isn't it? lol.

Took some photos today so I hope they come out okay. But the pair of them were working in tandem yesterday! Leo sat on the shed and shouted his arrival at 4.00 (and I mean shouted), and when I went out to see him - and stop the racket - he jumped down, dashed to the side gate, did a quick burst of meow, meow, meow ... and Ginger appeared from round the front. It's team tactics to get a saucer of milk, lol.

You wait till Dorrie starts thinking and planning ahead. ;)

Poosh-a-poosh!

I've needed the heat pad today, and let me tell you how Dorrie's plotted to steal it from me...

I'm now convinced this cat is the feline equivalent of the Avon Lady, visiting each house in the road...

Eheehee. We had a cat that came around like that once. We called him Al E. Kat, and he was really fat because everyone on the street fed him.

[gilpin25]

What a brilliant name, lol. Black cat, who we call Leo, definitely needs to go to Weight Watchers and/or the Cat Gym. ;)
