Disclaimer: Duchess, her kittens, Thomas O'Malley, Scat Cat, his gang, and Aristocats are & TM Disney, not the author. Everything else is & TM the author. The author makes absolutely no profit off of this work of fan fiction, and no copyright infringement is intended.

Author's Note: I'm sending out this fic with an issue of a challenge. Write your own Aristocats fic if you're brave enough! Any pairing, character, genre, etc. No rules as long as it's Aristocats and not a death fic! :-) Now go, pick up your quills, dip your ink, and dare to pen your own tale of tails! ;-)

Blue eyes lovingly surveyed the three, tiny, pink noses perked up to perfected cuteness as the kittens pranced around her. She pressed a gentle kiss to the nose and furry head of each of her three children, granting them her approval, before stretching leisurely and leaning back into her beloved. He purred deeply as her head nestled into his fur and they watched over their kittens. They were safe, Duchess thought contentedly, safe and home at last, and she knew that, as long as they had Thomas, Scat Cat, and his gang to guard over them, they always would be.

The End
