Title: The Great Kitten Escape Part 3 of 3.
Summary: Merlin, magic and a kitten. What could possibly go wrong? Continued.
Spoilers: None.
Warnings: None.

Despite being catnapped and magically experimented on by a mischievous warlock, Toby the kitten was having a good day.

He wasn't sure what the garbled spell had done but he felt something like intelligence, which he used to make his escape.

He scampered along, unnoticed except for the occasional 'Awww'.

Then he saw a dark haired man gazing longingly across the courtyard. Toby wasn't sure why he was gazing, but the expression was distinctly irritating. Well, if you've got claws you might as well use them…

XXX

Lancelot was not having a good day. Maybe Gwen would feel sorry for him…

A/N: I couldn't resist the Lancelot bashing. And, as you can see by the last sentence, Lance hasn't really learnt his lesson yet. No matter, I have so many more ideas about how to get him to comply…*Insert evil laugh*
Also for anyone who was unclear, Merlin messed up a spell and made the kitten more aware and more intelligent. Why? Cause its hard to write from an animal's point of view without messing with the laws of reality a bit.

Unsigned review replies:

Kitty O: Eep! That was an accidental threat. I have no plans to obliterate you. Merlin, however I cannot speak for. He might be a bit upset about the stuff you've done to him…I hold up your awesome story 'How to Accidently Kill a Warlock' as an example…
Cherrytree: Breaks from studying are good. I seem to be on a permanent break myself… :) I too am glad Arthur contained his curiosity and respected Merlin's privacy. Arthur being respectful is not something that happens often.Yes, people seem to love the comparison between Merlin and Karen.
Toby IS a cute ball of fur. And he scratched up Lancelot so he is quite clearly a legend.
You love reviewing? But, I love reading the reviews. And you love reading the chapters. Everybody's happy! Woop!
Apologies, I'm a bit hyper. Your prizes are in the mail…
You have now used 3 adjectives to compliment me as a writer. I. Have. No. Words. XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
An epic thank you for reviewing :D
DragonflyonBreak: Thanks! I love it when people say I made them laugh :D Poor Merlin. Poor Gaius. Merlin's magic seems to get everyone in trouble, including Lancelot but I didn't mind that one :)
I hope you enjoyed the chapter and, as always, thanks for reviewing! XD
Starts with a D: Thanks! I'm surprised how Private Pain went too. I planned a whole angsty confrontation but somehow what happened fit better.
Little children have a habit of questioning things adults just accept. My niece and nephews do it all the time. It's quite amusing trying to explain things that should be obvious.
So, Merlin didn't actually turn Arthur into a kitten. Merlin just said that as a joke to freak out Gaius. Sorry if that was unclear :) Thanks for reviewing! XD
