Don't own CATS


Skimble was walking up and down the railway station, it was the first time he had been early. The driver of the train had passed him and greeted him. Skimble sighed as he sat down on the concrete floor, 'Next time I'm not going to be early' He thought. He looked around for any of the passengers, there was no one there. There was a ton of luggage but no owner. He got up and walked towards the saw that is was a brown leather bag with the initials S. Rover . 'Now who was S. Rover?' Skimble asked himself. Just as he did a fat, jolly man came up to the bag and took it. "So he's S. Rover'. The fat man smiled at the cat and boarded the train, closely followed by Skimble.

Skimble looked around the cabin the man had walked into, every single passenger was on board. Skimble walked through the cabin to see who he had as company. And who had some food to give him. He was petted by most of them but none gave him any food. Skimble huffed as he made his way down to the Luggage cart.

The Luggage cart was always dull and dreary, not like the other carts which were all fancy. Skimble looked around the baggage, surveying each one. And most likely seeing which one was the most comfy to sleep on.

"Mew," A soft voice made Skimble look around in panic. Who was watching him. "Mew" The voice then said. Skimble noticed that this was a soft female voice, sounding more like a kitten. Skimble began to search around the luggage to find this kitten. "Mew," This time Skimble heard the voice it was nearer, he was nearer. He moved a large black bag out of the way and saw a little white calico, huddled close to another cat. Probably her mother, The female cat had scar along her face and bruises all over. Skimble knew the other cat wasn't breathing and the kitten was only a few days old. She hadn't even opened her eyes yet.

"Hello there, my name is Skimbleshanks, but most just call me Skimble." He told the kitten as he picked her up. "Now lets see if we can get you some milk." Skimble always cared for young kittens, he had two of his own.

They left the luggage cart and walked towards the kitchen, the cook didn't mind giving Skimble a bowl of milk. He even gave Skimble more milk now he had a kitten with him.

"Who's your friend, Scotty?" The cook asked the tom. Skimble hated the name which he had got given, Scotty. Who names a cat Scotty. Skimble mewed at the cook, not about the kitten more about his name but the cook thought it was about the kitten. "Nice to meet you, Meow." The cook laughed as he went back to finishing his work. Skimble placed the kitten in front of the bowl and watched her drink. After the kitten had finished she blindly walked to Skimble and snuggled up next to him. Skimble purred at the kitten as she fell asleep. He then drifted of to sleep next to her.

The pair was awaken by the station master's daughters. They were clearly back in London. Skimble smiled at the human girls and woke the young kitten up.

"Who's this Scotty?" One of the girls asked. Skimble grumbled again about his name and walked off. The girls just shrugged.

Skimble took the kitten outside of the train, he was going to take her back to the junkyard. And hopefully she would be accepted into the tribe.

"Right, I'm going to take you to my home. And then you can stay there." Skimble told the kitten. The young kitten looked up at him, still her eyes were shut.

"Pa Pa?" She whisperd.

Skimble laughed, "If you want me to be your dad, then alright." He held the kitten tightly and walked towards the junkyard.

When they arrived it was early hours of the morning. The only other cat up was Munkustrap, who had decided to take the night guard duty. Munkustrap waved at Skimble as he walked in. Skimble returned the wave and walked up to the grey tabby.

"Hello Munkustrap," Skimbleshanks greeted. Munkustrap smiled and looked down at the young kitten.

"Where did you find her?" Munkustrap asked as he petted the kitten.

"I found her in the luggage cart on the train. Her mother was dead. A massive scar on the poor queens face." Skimble informed the tabby, Munkustrap nodded. "Can she stay?"

"Of course, she is a kitten. Just make sure Jenny checks her out." Munkustrap told the tom, "Who will she be staying with?"

"Well I was hoping she would be able to stay with me, Jenny, Rumpelteazer and Mungojerrie." Skimble inquired. Munkustrap nodded his head.

"You better go ask her then." Munkustrap smiled and left the railway cat to go ask Jenny. When he walked into his den, he saw that Teazer and Jerrie were already up. Both were playing about with a ball of yarn. Skimble smiled at the pair and walked into their bedroom. He placed the kitten in Teazer's old crib which they hadn't got rid off. Jerrie followed his father.

"Who's that?" Jerrie asked as he came closer to the crib.

"I don't know her name, I found her on the train." Skimble replied to his son. Jerrie smiled.

"Why is she here then?" Jerrie turned to the small kitten.

"Her mother is dead so I took the kitten in as my own. Meet your half sister." Skimble told the calico, Jerrie's smile grew bigger, he had another sister. Skimble smiled at him and motioned him out of the bedroom.

"She needs her sleep." Skimble and Jerrie walked out of the room. Teazer was now sitting up with the yarn in her mouth. Jenny was in the far corner of the room making breakfast. "Jenny, can you come in here for a second." Jenny nodded and followed Skimble back into the bedroom. She looked over into the crib.

"Skimble, Where did you find her?" She asked her mate.

"At the train station. Do you want to raise her up, Jenny?" Skimble asked, Jenny looked at the kitten then back at him.

"Of course, what should we name her?" Jenny smiled as she hugged her mate. She always welcomed new kittens into her family.

"Erm...She should be named Etectera, I have always wanted a daughter named Etectera." Skimble beamed, Jenny nodded and cuddled her mate.

"Hello Etcetera, we're going to be your mum and dad." Jenny looked down at the kitten as Skimble went to fetch Teazer and Jerrie. "And you have a big brother and sister." Jenny looked at Skimble as he came through with the other two kittens. Jerrie,who is the eldest kitten, smiled at his mother and walked over to the new addition. Whilst Teazer jumped around the room in excitement. Jenny smiled at all of them, and picked up the young kitten. "This is your family, Etectera. Don't worry, you'll get used to us."


1 year later.

Etcetera did get used to her adopted family, no one ever knew how her mother died but Etectera didn't even care. To her, her mother was Jennyanydots and her father was Skimbleshanks. Teazer had introduced her to the Rum Tum Tugger a while back, Which was the biggest mistake Teazer ever did. Now all she wanted in life was The Rum Tum Tugger. He was her idol, as well as Electra, Victoria and Jemima's idol. They were Etcetera's best friends in the entire junkyard.

But Etcetera kept asking herself the same question each night; What happened to her real mother?
