What happens when Tugger has to raise a kitten by himself? Which kitten is it? Read to find out. Very cute. :)
They call him a flirt, but I just call him daddy
"You gotta be freekin kiddin' me! ME RAISE A KITTEN?!", shouted Tugger, waking the sleeping kitten held in Mukustrap's arms. Mukustrap glared angrily at Tugger, while the kitten mewed. "Great,Tugger, now you woke her up! Yes, you have to help take care of the kitten. Jellylorum and Jennyanydots are getting too old and tired to take in another kitten and they already have their hands full with the others.", he said. "What about the other jellicles? What about you and Demeter? I have a life too, you know", Tugger said. "You know Demmie is way too jumpy. She can't help raise a kitten. She has to get herself together first. I am too busy because I am the tribe protector. The other jellicles I asked are far too busy for a kitten. They can babysit, but they can't raise her. The only one available is you,Tugger.", Munku said. Tugger growled. "But I can't! I have a rep to protect! I don't want that little furball to tie me down.", he said. Munkustrap rolled his eyes. "What do you expect me to do? Throw little Jemima back into the streets where we found her?! You are very heartless, Tugger.", he said, annoyed. "That kit has a name?", Tugger asked. "Yes, she has a name. Tugger,you can't possibly look at that sweet little kitten face and tell me you don't wan't her.", Munkustrap said, giving Jemima to Tugger. Tugger sighed and held the kitten up to have a good look at her. Jemima looked at Tugger with big, adorable brown eyes, mewing and purring, then snuggled into Tugger's mane. "Mine", the kitten said. She is very cute, he thought. Munkustrap chuckled. "See,isn't she the sweetest kitten? She likes you.", he said. Tugger sighed and gave Jemima back to Munkustrap. "I'm sorry,Munku,I can't. Kittens are alot of responsibility and alot of trouble to care for. Doesn't she have a mother or something?", he said. "Tugger,I told you we found her in the streets. We don't know who or where her mother is. For all we know, her mother could have abandoned her or even got killed.",Munku said. Tugger scoffed. "Well if you feel so sorry for her,YOU take her. I'm sure Demmie will understand.", he said coldly. Munkustrap growled, scaring Jemima. "Fine. Be heartless. She can stay with us for tonight, then tomorrow I have to find her a home. Thanks for nothing,Tugger.",he said, storming off with Jemima. "Yeah, well whatever.", Tugger said, storming off in the opposite direction.
The next day, Tugger was flirting with his usual fan club: Bombalurina,Cassandra,Etcetera,Victoria,and Electra. "Sing us a song,Tuggy.",Etcetera said, pulling on Tugger's tail. "Dance for us.",Electra said,purring and rubbing her head against Tugger's leg. "Let's ditch the others and spend some real quality time together.",Bombalurina wispered into Tugger's ear, purring seductively. Tugger chuckled. They can't get enough of the Tugger., he thought. "Ladies,please. You don't want to wear me out,do you? I have to be rested so I can still look good for you all." The queens sighed. Tugger chuckled. "Tugger? Tugger! Oh, there you are! Hi ladies.", a voice said from behind them. Tugger and the queens turned around to see Munkustrap and Jemima. "Hi,Munku!", the queens said in unison. "What's up,Munku?", Tugger said. Just as Munku was about to speak,Bombalurina interupted. "Oh,sweet heavyside! What a cutie! Who is she,Munku?",she said, picking up Jemima and hugging her. Jemima giggled and purred. "Her name is Jemima. Me, Alonzo, and Cassandra found her in the streets.",Munkustrap said. "Yes,thats right. The poor thing was dirty, hungry, and shivering from the cold. I had to feed her and give her a bath.", Cassandra said, petting Jemima. "Yay! We have a new friend!",Etcetera said, placing herself on top of Bombalurina and getting in Jemima's face. A frightened Jemima mewed and tried to bury herself in Bombalurina's fur. Bombalurina giggled. "Etcy,calm down. You're scaring the poor dear and you're hurting me with your claws. Get off of me,would ya? You're heavy", she said. "Sorry,Bomby. Sorry Jemima.",Etcetera said, hopping off of Bomby and giving her the sweetest kitten-like smile. Bombalurina smiled and set Jemima down. The shy kitten hid behind the red queen's legs. Bomba giggled and gently shoved Jemima in front of the other kittens. "It's okay sweetie. Go make some friends. They won't bite.", she said. Jemima slowly walked up to the three kittens. "Hi", she said softly. "Hi. I'm Etcetera. You're pretty. Would you be our friend?", Etcy said. "'kay.",Jemima said. "I'm Victoria.",Vicky said. "And I'm Electra. Would you like to play with us?",Electra said. Jemima looked up to Munkustrap. "Can I go play?", she asked. Munkustrap smiled. "Of course.Be careful,guys. She's just a baby.",he said. The four kittens squealed and giggled, running off to play. "Have you found her a home yet, Munkus?",Cassandra asked. Munku sighed. "No,not yet. I'll be sure to find her one. Right now,I have an important meeting with Old Deutoronomy. Bomba,Demmie wanted to talk to you and Cassie,Alonzo wants you. Tugger could you watch Jemima?",he asked as the queens left. "Me? Why?",Tugger asked. "Because you're the only one left to watch her and the others are busy. At least do this one favor for me.", Munku said. "Fine. Just this once. Don't expect me to kitten-sit all the time.",Tugger said. "Kittens,come here.",Munkustrap said. The kittens came and stood in front of Munkustrap, staring at him with big kitten eyes. " You kits are coming with me.Jenny and Jelly wants you three home for a bath and lunch. Jemima, you will go with Tugger. He will watch you until I come and get you. Be good and do everything he says, okay?", Munkustrap said petting Jemima. "Okay",Jemima said. "Bye,Jemima. Bye,Tugger.", the kittens said in unison. Mukustrap and the kittens left, leaving Tugger and Jemima. "C'mon kid", we're going to my home. ", Tugger said. The two were off to Tugger's den.
