Hey guys! Been in the Cats fandom for a while and first time to upload a story about so. It's just a quick drabble that entered my mind one day so enjoy!

Dislaimer: I do not own Cats. All rights go to their respective owners.


The common mistake of the Jellicles is that they believed that hate and violence ruled the life of the Napoleon of Crime.

They were wrong, all of them. It was neither hate nor violence that ruled his life. Always the same thoughts, and always the same belief; hate and violence that ruling the mind of the ginger cat.

They were wrong.

It was not hate.

It was not violence.

But fear.

It was the fear of being overshadowed that caused him to turn on his tribe. Macavity certainly did not want to be overlooked, especially if the cause of that was his brother, his younger brother. The fear pushed him over the edge, so he snapped, broke, attacked the tribe and received banishment.

The fear of dying unloved and unwanted that made him kidnap the black and gold queen. The words she spoke made it worse, and he raped her because of so. And when she was rescued, he earned more of the tribe's hate and disgust.

And it was the fear of being forgotten by the whole tribe which made the ginger cat attack them during the Jellicle Ball and take his senile father and leader of the tribe, Old Deuteronomy, hostage. But he had been foiled by the tuxedo cat, Mistoffelees.

Hate, violence, bloodlust, insanity had not ruled him, but were sprung from the one that did.

Fear.
