You must be a cat owner. If not, you have only once again proved that you are a genius. Also I couldn't help but think that perhaps this entire fanfic was inspired by an offhanded remark of a friend...
This remark: "His pick of the prime pussy, if you will."
How wonderfully childish :-D

I had this whole wonderful summary with such witticisms in here in my reveiw, and then I submitted and it gave me some bosh about the database not handling stuff every 60 seconds or whot-not. Anywho, to the reveiw...

I must say, it was excellent, very funny indeed. Here I have posted some of my favorite parts posted so that if read in the context of a paragraph it would be very nonsensical. Why am I doing this? Cause you know how kids collect peices of broken glass and old peices of chewed gum? Well this is sorta like it, just more witty and funny and less gross - sorta. XP


Mrs. Smith looked at her watch. “Oh, it is! I'm going to miss all my programs!” She hurried to the door, but just before leaving, added, “You just keep that... beast away from Muffy-Boo-Boo-Kins!”

(Not that Hermione would, but Ron might. Not to say that Hermione gave a damn what Ron thought, or would indeed give a damn given the opportunity.)


However, if Crookshanks did keep a journal, the entry for this day would look something like this:


Mistress has foiled my plan to hide. Would have gotten away with it if not for that meddling owl.

Come to think of it, owl ruined first plan to sabotage alarm. Must add revenge on owl to things to do list.

1) Save genitals

2) Revenge on owl

Am now in cab to the butcher. Hope last-ditch effort will not fail. Am rather attached to lower bits.

Music: radio is playing, not sure of song

Mood: frightened for genitalia

“Herm... Hermyown? Hermeeonay? Herm... Miss Granger? Dr. Sinclair will see you in room three.”

Lovley job Jack (if I may call you Jack - Jack, actually I do believe I just did - twice, anywho...). The cat journal was a stroke of genius. 'Twas witty and funny and charming. Dear god I just wrote charming. Right, you don't know me so therefore don't know the affects that had on me, but its affect was great, in a not-so-good way. But the chapter was great. Right-o rambling... Keep up the marvelous work.

Cherrio.

Oh this is great. I have four cats and they all think this way. My biggest cat did the Chaos Incarnate thing - well, except the doctor didn't sedate himself...ha ha ha. But my cat WAS on top of the cabinets for a while!!!
I loved the thoughts and journal entries. But I especially liked the idea that he liked Ron because he had delicious looking pets!!!

Woot! **ivy & Gracie wipe their eyes and snort unbecomingly** This is such genius. We read it quite awhile ago, and for some reason failed to review it. We promise never to such a reprehensible thing again. Are re-reading all your fics, and enjoying them tremendously!

Favorite lines:

>>Crookshanks had what one might call a feline harem. His pick of the prime pussy, if you will.<< **ivy whaps Gracie with her Big Black Purse... will you behave??? What would Mother say?? Gracie laughs anyway**

>>After she left, Dr. Sinclair readied the sedative and opened the small cage door. He then reached in to retrieve the cat, which would prove to be the greatest mistake of his professional career.<<

Ha! You're a madman. Brilliant.

I love this fic, *lol*. I've seen several where authors try to 'write' from Crookshanks' perspective, and the effect can be hit or miss -- but I love your take on him, even down to him eyeing Pig as a snack. I especially love his 'journal entry', complete with music and mood indicators -- suspiciously reminiscent of LiveJournal, ^_^

Jack,

I normally love your stuff, and this was no exception.
However, there were some things that I *really* didn't like, and that was your jokes about Mrs. Smith.
If the jokes had been directed at Mrs. Smith herself, it would be all right. But they seemed to be directed at old people in general, and I hope you realize how low it is to make fun of old people.

Maybe you didn't mean it like that, but I ask you to read the beginning of your story, and notice what I'm talking about.


Aside from that part, I thought your story was very funny, and original. I laughed out loud more than once.


Take care.

Dinka

I loved how Crookshanks vanquished the vet, though I am curious how he managed to make the vet stab himself with his own needle, though I doubt Crookshanks or the vet are willing to give details on that account. Maybe the vet should have tried to sedate him without opening the cat carrier.

Thank you for making me giggle in the school computer lab. Now everyone is staring at me wondering what kind of mental state I'm in, but your story was well worth it.

I love the way you use words, like:

"Hermione frowned. Neuter was such an ugly word. Perhaps... making gender a moot point."

I could definitely relate to that...bringing my dog home from the vet's and ending up calling him "it" for a few days...anyways. Rambling. Thanks for making my day. And yes, I'm proud.

I especially enjoyed the two points of view! Crookshanks was appropriately feline in his directness and his vengefulness! A worthy opponent. He fought the good fight and deserves to keep his 'nads.

Poor Crookshanks....although he's not all that innocent. He reminds me of the dog from 'Family Guy'! Loved your own characters - the old lady, the old vet - his inability to pronounce Hermione's name was hilarious because I admit, I went through exactly the same ways of saying the name when I first saw it!

Nice surprise to see Tonks at the end...in a Weasley sweater too!!
