| I'm going to miss this story .The end was very moving. I am so glad Aragorn and the cat grew to love one another and the King found time for the Cat! I do hope one day you will write more,maybe of what the cat thought when he saw Arwen and the White Tree in bloom. Thank you for a most enjoyable read. Author Reply: So many other things happened to the Cat that should be written... but he has grown weary and the Scribe respectfully gives him his rest... Thank you for reviewing! I too will miss this story.... | |

| oh but.............! Drat! The story is over. *pouts* There is so much else I wanted to see - Alqualonde meeting Frodo and Sam, what did he think of Arwen, Elrond and Galadriel? Did he have the chance to speak with Gandalf? Did he ever find a mate and continue his noble line? How did the other cats in Minas Tirith react when he returned? (I hope they acknowledged him as a hero) I have loved this story - events seen from the unique perspective of a cat, and such a special one at that. I also agree with some of the other reviewers - Beruthiel's cats are mentioned so Alqualonde isn't really AU. As a totally besotted slave to cats I can only thank you for this wonderful tale and hope there will be others in which we learn more about Alqualonde and his mother. Author Reply: Well, with such an uproar ---- The Scribe promises to harrass the Cat until he decides to speak up once more. Right now he is resting in some verdant pasture with a ball of yarn, a bowl of fresh cream, and a friend at his side... I don't think I can pull him away just yet.... | |

| I certainly hope we see the two of you again. This was wonderful and I loved evey momnet of it. At least Alqua recieved release in the arms of his beloved King, which is so perfect. Cuddled in arms that loved him and respected him the same as Denethor. Lovely. I'd love to see more of Alqua's interactions w/the other felines of The White City. How did they respond to his return w/a missing paw and blind in one eye? Did Alqua have to prove to them he was still the Chieftain of the Cats of Minas Tirith or did they respect him so much, it didn't matter? What? I'm wondering!! ;o) I'll miss reading this. It was so wonderful and true for a Cat lover like me. Thanks Agape!! :o) Author Reply: Thank you so much for your kind review... and for nuzgulling my poor ankles!!! Of course, I had wondered too, but as I said... the Cat seemed to think, and I agreed with him, that the time has come to end this... However.... if the nuzgul have bitten his three little ankles as well, perhaps we will have a sequel... once I finish Denethor - for the man is getting quite irritated with me!!!! Blessings! | |

| Hi Agape, thanks for the mention, I enjoyed this tail, LOTR and cats what more cold I want. I am sorry to see this tail end but I do have something to occupy my time while waiting for the sequel, I have just adopted two kittens, Mischief and Mayhem and they seem to be living up to their names, when not 'killing' each other they are killing something else, watching them kill each others tail is not to be missed! More please, when the Scribe and the cat are ready of course, Lynda Author Reply: Wee little kittens... poor Alqualonde was too busy taking care of the Steward to have any of his own.... I'm glad you've got a couple to take care of you....... :-) There could be more - I really did have a great time writing this... and the comments from reviewers like you - made it worthwhile! | |

| Well, he has always served the RULERS of Gondor; and I doubt that Faramir would have been ignored during his stays in Minas Tirith. And, if the Cat has not nine lives, there is still the hope that his children will at one time or another show themselves! Heh! And Frodo hopefully was able to spend a little time with him, after all! And I loved the bow toward one of Tolkien's favorite languages! Author Reply: Who could ignore Faramir??? I wonder if the Prince ever took him to Emyn Arnen? Oh well.... Oh - drat - I would have loved to have written the Cat and Frodo - already, even without meeting him, the Cat was smitten for this brave Hobbit.... Kiitti http://www.elite.net/~runner/jennifers/thankyou.htm Now - isn't that just the perfect way for a Cat to say thank you. Finnish.. *giggles* looks like Kitty to me.... | |

| Aw...a bittersweet ending, but appropriate. And you've left yourself some gaps to fill. Perhaps later you might tell us a little of the intervening time, if the Cat decides to let you in on it. I wonder did he ever find a mate to continue the line, and what he observed in the King's court--maybe someday he will tell us. This was a lovely tale! I will miss seeing more of Alqualonde. Author Reply: I really hope the Cat might come back and share some more of what he went through and some of his and Elessar's adventures.... perhaps he went to the Shire one time or another to visit Pip... who knows. I have a feeling his mom is thinking she needs to be represented too! Oh my gosh! I hate nuzguls.... Bless you and thank you for your support during this and for your continued reviews! | |

| ‘I love you, my King. I have only served you in love.’ He whispered words in the old tongue, the tongue of my mother’s mothers. Peace flooded my being. I'm all weepy now. What a beautiful ending to a unique and marvelous story. Author Reply: Thank you ever so much. I was so very happy when I completed it about three weeks ago, but now that the last bit is posted, my own heart is saddened... I most appreciate your kind reviews... | |
