Kitten tails

A/N: I know I haven't updated for so long, but I've been suffering from major writers block. If you got any ideas that would help me, let me know.

Disclaimer: I do not own Cats, though I'd love to own Munkustrap.

Chapter 2

Tumblebrutis looked out from the opening to their den, "Hey Pounce, it's stopped raining!"

His brother rushed up behind him. The grinned; it meant they could now go out and play. They tumbled out and immediately started to try and splay each other with muddy water. They were joined by Electra and Etcetera.

Demeter's kitten (who was only a month old), watched the older kittens with big eyes. She longed to join them but was too scared to leave her mother's side. The older queens laughed at Jemima's antics. The kitten would curiously poke her head out, then realise what she'd done and snuggle back up to her mum again.

Meanwhile, Victoria had sat down next to Quaxo and started chatting with him.

"You look really nice Vick," the tuxedo tom told her.

"Thanks." His Sister replied gratefully, "Plato's taking me out tonight."

Quaxo grinned as Victoria blushed. Everyone in the tribe knew Victoria and Plato were in love with each other.

Jennyanydots let out a gasp when she saw the kittens. All four were covered from head to tail in mud. They'd take ages to clean

"You four, come here at once!" she shrieked.

"Yipes, it's mum!" Pouncival yelped. "She'll wanna bath us for sure!"

Tumblebrutus groaned, "Great! Just when we were having so much fun!"

Pouncival jumped down along with Electra and Etcetera. "Come on Tumble." Called Electra.

"No way! I'm having too much fun!" He Protested.

Jennyanydots sighed and look at her mate. Skimbleshanks nodded and took off after his errant son. Tumblebrutus realised what his father was up to and panicked.

He leapt onto a nearby box and lost his balance. He let out a yell as he fell sharply. The kitten landed (on his feet, naturally) next to Victoria, who let out a gasp. The box, that Tumblebrutus had fallen off, rocked uncertainly. It fell. Water fell of the top and covered Victoria. The white queen screeched. She was covered in muddy water. The queen glared at the young tom. He gulped uncertainly.

All the other cats stopped and watched the scene unfold.

"You, you little Pollicle!" Victoria shouted at Tumblebrutus. "Do you know how much work I've done on my coat?"

Tumblebrutus shrank down, his ears flattened. He'd never been this frightened of a queen before. "I…I…I'm sorry." He whispered.

"Sorry? Sorry! You will be sorry when I'm finished with you!"

Jennyanydots came rushing up. "Calm down Victoria. It was an accident."

The young queen swung around and glared at the Gumby Cat. "How can I calm down when I'm supposed to be going out with Plato in two hours?"

"Come with me love and we'll sort it out together." Jennyanydots soothed Victoria.

She led Victoria off to her den and the other cats turned back to what they were doing. Pouncival, Electra and Etcetera ran up to Tumblebrutus.

"You looked terrified of Vicky." Giggled Etcetera.

Tumblebrutus stuck his tongue out at her.

Jellylorum walked up behind the kittens and placed her paw on Tumblebrutus' shoulder. "Anyway, it's time you lot got cleaned up." She said as she marched the kittens of to her den.

"Oh no!" moaned Tumblebrutus.
