Okay, so I've read too many fanfics that depict cat like actions that Ratchet preforms, so, I decided to make a little collection of one shots of Ratchet acting like a domestic house cat than the trigger happy, technology tinker Lombax that he is. Please Review!
Felis Lombaxus: A bipedal, humaniod species that originated on the planet of Fastoon in the Polaris Galixy. Other known as a Lombax.
Diclaimer: Please don't sue me Insomniac Games, because I don't own Ratchet and Clank. I just write fanfictions like the crazy fan that I am.
Sleeping
Clank would often catch Ratchet curled up on the couch when the Lombax had either gotten up far to early or had just recently taken a warm bath. When Ratchet would be curled up like this, he'd sheath and unsheath his claws from his hands and his ears would twitch to whatever he heard in his dreams. On some occasions, his whiskers and his tail would twitch and his breathing would become faster with either fear or excitement. Most rarely, Ratchet's feet would twitch and he'd sometimes mumble something about chasing mice and bird sized Qwarks.
His snoring would still be loud even if his hand was blocking his mouth.
Scratching Walls
Whenever Ratchet got into a mood where he'd bolt up and down the hallway, he'd sometimes stop at a corner of the wall and jump up and slide back down with his claws unsheathed. Clank would find himself having a jump scare when Ratchet did this while he was completely zoned into a book. At first it was funny, but as time went on, Ratchet eventually grew out of that habit.
Ham, Beef, Chicken, ext.
"Please!" Ratchet would beg when Clank was preparing something that delt with meat. "No!" Clank would say with a small chuckle when Ratchet would mewl in disappointment. After only a minute, Ratchet would softly meow, "Please?" Only to be turned down again by his robotic friend. When Ratchet had stayed silent for a full five minutes, Clank would give the Lombax a bite of the raw meat.
It's not like the Lombax could just paw it out of the fridge on his own. He is five feet tall after all.
Purring (AN: Listen to a cat purring while reading this one! Just go to YT for a sound clip. :-D )
Ratchet only purrs when he's comfortable, which is mostly when he's alone with Clank. When Qwark hasn't burst through the door or when it's just a lazy afternoon. Clank listens with all his attention when the Lombax starts purring. The rumbling would heighten in sound when the Lombax inhaled and the purring would go back to quiet when Ratchet exhaled.
Clank couldn't help but smile or fall asleep whenever Ratchet purred. The noise was so soothing compaired to every other noise he's heard.
Meowing
Sometimes Ratchet would meow just to get Clank's attention so they could go to wherever they needed to go or when Ratchet just wanted some food and he was just too lazy to get up and fix the food himself, but when Ratchet meowed by complete accident, either by stubbing his toe or having something catch his tail, almost makes Clank wish that no harm could fall upon the Lombax. But of course, the Lombax will just grit his teeth and deal with the pain that lasts for only a few minutes. And then the pain would start all over again when he bumps a wrench off the wall and it hits him in the head. Clank often wonders where the feline agility is due to the Lombax's clumsiness.
Lombax Nip

Well, I've run out of ideas. If you guys can come up with more, let me know in your reviews. Anyway, Fav, yadda, yadda, blah, blah, blah, you guys have heard this before from other authors, and I'll see your guys later!
