Good kitty news!

[kelliem]

We got to see Mika today for the first time in 3 weeks. He's doing really well, and they said he'll be out of isolation in just a few days. The vet wasn't there to ask, but one of the aides said she thought we might be able to take him home in just a couple of weeks. (They still have to do the ritual removal of the yarbles before we can bring him home and they want to make sure he's 100% before that.) He seemed very healthy, only a couple of slight sneezes. And extremely playful and happy to be with us. If we put him down for more than a few moments, he'd literally climb the nearest leg to get back up. And he was so sweet and nuzzly, and purring his little face off and playing with necklaces, earrings, and anything the slightest bit dangly. Just the sweetest little guy. :)

Who me? Sappy?

I promise, no kittenfic. ;-D

Oh, wonderful news! And, you know, I really wouldn't complain about any kittenfic you might want to write... *g*

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

You might not, but *I* would. :-)

awwwww.
glad the kitten is doing well.

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I promise, no kittenfic. ;-D

But (you know who) *needs* a kitty. He's so sad and lonely without his boyfriend. Won't you just let him have a little, itty, bitty kitten to snuggle? It would make the story *so* much nicer.

Or at least let him ride the carousel. I'm begging here.

As ardent knows, the possible Guinness Book of World Records Champion for kitten fic may be The Man From UNCLE. They seem to have some sort of cat-kitten-Illya thing that I just don't understand.

Now, if you were to contribute to that particular fandom, I might actually read kitten fic. Just sayin'.

You're not kidding about the GBoWR thing. We've noticed it too. Someone... I think it was Laura Shapiro, referred to 'waves' of fanfic styles in a recent ds_discourse discussion, and it sure seems as if most of MFU is what she called 'old skool.' I'm hoping that as more 'second' and 'third' wave writers start getting into it, that may change.

You're a sick, sick woman, Ardent. (And shouldn't that be 'sad and wonwey'?) No, no, a thousand times no! And no carousel either. These are grown men. (Ice cream trucks are bad enough!)

Gonna have to take those zines away from you. :-)

[byob-kenobi.livejournal.com]

I dare you to write Waverly kitten-fic.

(Oh, and I'm very happy that Mika is doing so well!)

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

OMG! You and Ardent need to do a collab, I think. ;-D

Wonderful news! You make me want to get a kitten. But the new dog is supposedly not to be trusted around 'em, so...

As for kittenfic, I've read a couple of extremely sweet stories with Fraser and kittens, even one with Vecchio that I liked. But then, I'm one who'd probably enjoy reading about Fraser and a warthog. *g*

There's always room in any fandom for one or two cute fics, but there's a terminal limit, I think. You'd have to be very careful. I did once toy with the idea of giving Ray a lynx kit for a while, but thought better of it. :)

Ok, I'm not very bright. What are the yarbles?

ps - so glad Mika's out of the woods!

Silly code-word for 'testicles.' :)

And naturally, I figured it out about 5 seconds after hitting "Post Comment"!

Of course. I always do that kind of thing too. :)

[doll-revolution.livejournal.com]

oh, but i'd love a kitten fic! (it could be short.) i can see ray getting all kitty-seduced first, and then fraser and dief being drawn in. . . ::happy fangirl sigh::


BTW: when are you going to write the 'mirror' fic for the 'attractive' series? not that i've been waiting for over a year or anything. ::weg::

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

You know, I actually already WROTE a kittenfic. Sorta. There's one in "Playing Wolf." Probably not quite what people had in mind though. :)

As for the mirror story, unfortunately I have to wait for inspiration to strike, and it hasn't yet. I'm still hopeful.

[doll-revolution.livejournal.com]

is that the one with mutant, the 6-fingered kitty? because i thought that was you, but i didn't want say it and have it not be you, you know? ::heh heh::

but, BIGGER kitten!fic. BIGGER!!

and---->::crack!smash!! a lightning-bolt of mirrirmirrormirror::

[kelliem.livejournal.com]

Yup, 'twas me. And as for bigger, well, I already said I ruled out the lynx idea. That would've been bigger. ;-D I'm not sure the world is ready for "Ray's overweight kitten" fic. :)

Thanks for the lightning. I'll let you know if anything develops. :)
