Oh! This is utterly charming!

Ha Haaaa! That's so in-character for basically every cat in existence!

*grins* Thank you! I enjoyed imagining this scene.

Muahahahahahahaaaaa! I can just see that and hear that and omygosh that was so cute! I even learned a new word! (Clowder; thank you!) I think you hit every cat owner's personal dream (or nightmare) with this one. Fuuuuuny! Bless you Shirebound! (And if I still had my five Persians [one of whose name I borrowed for online] I'd sit them down and ask what names THEY wanted and send them all to you. *grins*

'Clowder' was new for me, as well! I'm so happy you enjoyed this. I asked my pup Pippin if she preferred a different name, but she only rolled on her back and wanted her belly rubbed. Dogs and cats truly have different priorities!

Such an adorable story!

Thank you, Linda. Yay for Reuben the Muse! I loved writing this for you.

“Excellent. I will call in the others.” Reuben meowed twice, rather loudly. “The others?” Gandalf asked ... LOL!!! Great story. I like it very much! Thank you, shirebound!

I'm so glad you like this, Andrea. Sometimes the fluff will not be denied. :)

This is amazing! I really needed that dose of fluff. Thanks!

Thank you. Three cheers for fluff! *beams*

LOL, in 2014 Smithsonian scientists confirmed that 1) cats are super intelligent and 2) could really care less what you want. Applies unfortunately to Kings, Queens and Wizards alike, Wonderful store Shirebound

Thank you, Eliza. Cats truly are amazing creatures, a worthy match for any wizard or king! I'm delighted you enjoyed this fluffy tale.

Larner · 16 September 2016 · Chapter 1

Delightful! Of COURSE they want their names used correctly! And Faramir is right that his presence at that point is superfluous!

Author's reply

It's a good thing Faramir is so perceptive, or who knows what might have happened? I'm really glad you enjoyed this.

UTfrog · 16 September 2016 · Chapter 1

Love it, but it calls for a chapter where Gandalf has to explain this to the king

Author's reply

*grins* Perhaps the kitty-muse will visit me again sometime!

KathyG · 16 September 2016 · Chapter 1

Meow!! =) LOL!

Author's reply

Glad this gave you grins! :)

Ha! Fantastic. :-) King and Queen? Nope, don't care. 'In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.' ~~ Terry Pratchett Too funny. Thanks for writing!

What a perfect quote! I'm really glad you enjoyed this wee story.
