My first Cats fanfiction! I don't normally write in third person so, I hope it isn't to bad! Just so you know, WE the readers see them how they are in the movie and in performances so cat people, humans in the story see them as actual cats.
I've had this idea for a while and finally decided to write it :) I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Cats or the characters!
"Jelly.." a small voice whispered nervous as she walked up to the big tire where the elder cat was knitting with Jennyanydots. Jellylorum looked up from knitting looking at the kitten, who look very nervous. "What's wrong Electra?" she asked concerned as she sat down her needles about to get up.
"Oh no! Don't get up I just wanted to ask you something!" Electra rushed as Jelly sat back down. "I..uh, wanted you to tell me a story," she added looking away "Of how you met Asparagus."
Jenny looked up from her own sewing needles looking at the kitten and turning to look at Jelly. "Why don't you tell her Jelly, it is quite the story isn't it, you'll like it Electra," Jenny nudged her friend with her knitting needle. "Your knitting can wait."
Jellylorum sighed before giving the curious kitten a smile. "If you would like to hear it, sit down," she told her as she smiled wide sitting down excitedly.
"Years ago when I was a young adult, Munkustrap and the other older ones were young teens and kittens...
Jellylorum wondered the junkyard watching over the younger cats. "Where's Tugger?" she asked as Munkustrap looked around and shrugged. "He's probably getting into trouble somewhere, or being full of himself to some ally cat," Munk shrugged as Jelly gave him a be-serious look. The young silver tom rose his hands in defense "I'm being serious, he leaves the junkyard all time since he has owners, plus he likes to flirt a lot, he'll get into trouble at some point." The young adult sighed as she shook her head. "Munk I wish you would act like you should as the protector to-be," Jelly muttered as she stood up.
"I'm going to go hunt now, you kittens behave yourself for the others," and with that see jumped down from the washing machine running toward the entrance of the Junkyard. She slowed as she got closer to it. Grizabella walking in "there are people all over the streets today, nearly got caught by a young human. I can only imagine what it would have done to my lovely coat," she sighed dramaticly as Jellylorum rolled her eyes passing the glamour cat.
"As long as Tugger doesn't turn out like her, I'm fine with him flirting with whoever he wants," she told herself as she walked into the busy street. She had other plans than hunting though. She looked around before spotting her destination. She smiled as she half walked half ran to a big beautiful building.
"Well, well, well, isn't it the beautiful Jellylorum, come to see her dear old friend."
"Hi, Gus," she smiled as she walked up to the theater cat. The older theater cat gave her a heart warming smile.
"You look like you haven't aged a bit since you were a kitten. I have news for you young lady. My nephew Asparagus is coming to town, I would like you to meet him sometime. He's a very hansom tom I can assure you. He's got great genes in him," the older cat winked as Jelly laughed and shook her head. "I'm sure he does," she sat down in front of the cat.
"You're just like your mom, pretty, smart, keeps the young in line and a great since of humor, she would be proud of you," Gus told her as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you," she smiled nuzzling his hand. "I'm sorry, I can't stay long I must hunt and get back to the kittens, I'm sure they are terrorizing Skimble and Jenny by now," she frowned shaking her head. The Junkyard was being over ran by kittens and young teens. She had a very young kitten herself she needed to get back to herself.
"Remember meet my nephew! He's going to be going to the Junkyard, so he needs a friend," Gus wiggled his brow as Jelly rolled her eyes as she got up and said there good byes and went to a near by ally. She crouched low as she spotted a mouse. It had stuck itself in a corner, perfect. She crept up to it and pounced. Within seconds she had chased down at least 5 good sized mice. she held them by their tails as she went back to the Junkyard. She didn't have to feed Munkustrap, Tugger, Alonzo or Bombalurina, they were old enough to get their own pray. She called the kittens into her den which was made specially for taking care of kittens and injuries.
She watched as kittens appeared one by one into her den. Her own kitten struggling to keep up with the others. She placed a mouse infront of Demeter who was the oldest of the kittens, she was Bombalurina's sister, Coricopat and Tantomile which appeared at the Junkyard in a cold winter night, Plato who was found by Macavity which was given to her and was little like her own, and her own Tumblebrutus.
"I want a full mouse!" Tumblebrutus yelled at his mother as she gave him a stern look. "You and Plato will both get a half of one, you can't eat a full one yet, remember last time? You threw it up within minutes," she nagged at him as she tore it apart giving a half to Plato and half to her pouting kitten. "Look at Plato, eating his half like a good kitten would," she said praising the other kitten who blushed a little and looked away. "Nice and quiet and not arguing with his mother."
"That's because he never talks like some weird-"
"Tumble!" Jelly snapped at the kitten which jumped in surprise and started eating his half.
Jelly sighed as she looked at the others. Demeter was done and going to the corner of the den. Jellylorum looked closer seeing scratches on her. "Demeter," she called the oldest kitten who jumped curling in on herself before looking at the older cat. "Yes?" she asked as Jellylorum walked over to her examined the scratches on her arm. "How did you get those?" Demeter looked away " I-I was playing and things got a little rough, it doesn't hurt though! I promise!" she lied through her teeth, but fooled the cat looking her over. "Okay, I didn't want you to have been attack by something what could get you sick," Jelly said calmly as she nuzzled the golden kittens arm before going back to the others. Coricopat and Tantomile were both done and curled up together sleeping soundly. Plato found himself a nice rock what apparently looked comfy enough lay down on looking like he was going to roll off any second.
"Go to sleep Tumble," she whispered as her kitten swayed trying to stay awake. "M not ti...tired," he yawned as his mother picked him up. "I'm sure you're not," she laid him down beside her him falling fast asleep. She followed after him closing her eyes.
Her eyes snapped open to yelling and kittens huddled together in a corner.
"What was happening!" Etctera gasped the hyper kitten had showed up a little while after she had started her story.
"You have to be patient, it's getting dark I will tell you more in the morning," Jellylorum hushed the kitten as Electra smiled getting up as Etctera pouted as she got up.
"Come on, into the dens, it's Jenny's turn, go on," she shooed them to follow her best friend who took them away. She looked over to where Asparagus was sitting with Tumblebrutus, Pouncival, Admetus and Plato, all old enough for their own dens, except Pouncival.
"Pouncival, time to go to bed," she called after the kitten and gave Asparagus a smile who gave her a wink in return, she rolled her eyes and shook her head before taking the kitten with her.
