Hey all! So I was watching CATS the other day and I just adore Munkustrap so much that this itty-bitty little drabble wrote itself on my computer the next morning. It's very short and very simple, but I hope you like it!

In Which Munkustrap Finds a Ball of Yarn Amusing
Well, I guess it's nice being second-in-command of the Tribe…I kinda like keeping tabs on everyone. Some of the Jellicles even call me Tabs because of the aforementioned fact that I like to keep tabs on everyone and because I am a tabby. They think they're awfully clever. I find it rather annoying. But nobody ever asks for your approval before they slap a nick-name on ya, so I had no say in the matter. Wait, you wanna hear about it? Are you sure? I mean I'm kinda busy—Okay, okay, fine. But I can't stay for very long.
Well, one particular day I was walking to—Erm, excuse me, but is that a ball of yarn over there in your corner? Uh, ahem. It's lovely. Anyway, as I was saying. On this particular day I was—Excuse me, but would you mind awfully moving that ball of yarn out of the room please? Why? Uh, no reason. I'm just…Oh, never mind. Just leave it. No, I'm fine. Honestly. Just fine.
Where was I? Oh great, I forgot…I got side-tracked by that frustratingly awesome ball of yarn. Is it yours? Well, isn't somebody a lucky cat? Would you mind awfully if I played with i—Ahem. Well. This is embarrassing. No, no I do not need to play with that ball of yarn, thank you. Though a scratch behind the ears would be nice. Oh, yes, right there! Ah, that's nice. Pardon my purring.
Okay, back to the story I was telling you about when I was called Tabs—Okay, I'm sorry, but that ball of yarn is staring at me. Yes it is too! It's staring right at me with its yarny little eyes! No, I didn't have too much cat nip this morning! Besides, that's a rather personal question.
Alright, I'm sorry for my absent-mindedness. Let me tell you that story. It was a Tuesday, I think and—Oh, Heaviside, excuse me for a second.
BALLOFYARNHEREICOMEDARNYOU!
Twenty-three minutes later
Ahem. I'm back. Well. That's better. Pardon that yarny mess…I'll clean it up before I go. Now back to the story—What? Now you have to go? Why? Oh. Well. Will you come back for the story later? No? Okay, then…Have a nice day. Oh, erm…Could you leave that yarn there please? Thank you. I'll be seeing you around!
Well, Mr. Yarn…Now it's just you and me again. But I have self-control. I am not some kitten who—Oh, who am I kidding?
BALLOFYARNATTACK!
Yeah, I don't even know where this drabble came from...But it's cuute! So that's all that matters. Well, that, and Munkustrap is under-fan-fictioned, and he's my favorite, so I figured he'd appreciate it.
Review please?
