AN: Inspired by the Doctor's hate of cats stated in Fear Her.
I own bugger all.

"Rose!" cried Jackie from the doorstep.
Rose sighed overdramatically and walked to the door where her mother was staring at something outside. "What?" Jackie nodded her head to their car where the Doctor was fixing the engine, his brow furred in concentration and his face covered in oil. "What?" shrugged Rose. Apart from thinking he looked too cute for words with that facial expression she could see nothing wrong. "He said he'd fix it."
Jackie rolled her eyes, "No. That! " she pointed to a large, white, fluffy cat which was winding it's way in and out of the Doctor's legs, only to be nudges away every two seconds.
Rose laughed at the Doctor's struggling efforts to keep the cat away, "Yeah, he doesn't much like cats." She grinned and walked over to the Doctor, who was now beginning to loose interest in the car and was staring at the cat like it was a particularly bad smell. "Trouble?" she asked innocently.
"Oh no," he insisted quickly. "Just a few loose wires here and there, maybe a new battery… I'll have it ready in no time."
Rose grinned, "I wasn't talking about the car." She nodded to the fluffy moggy by his feet.
"Oh… right…. yeah…" he muttered, giving the cat a disgusted look.
Rose bent down and picked the cat up before cooing at it, "Aw, aren't you a gorgeous boy, eh?" She looked back up at the Doctor who was scowling at Rose. "What?" she said. "Not jealous of a cat are you Doctor?" She grinned slyly.
"No, no, no, no," he said, shaking his head, still staring at the cat.
"Oh good," said Rose. "Looks like a stray." She grinned and lifted an eyebrow up at the Doctor.
He knew what she was getting at immediately. "Oh no," he shook his head furiously. "Never, never. No. Absolutely not!"
…
'Meow… meow… meow .'
"Yes, okay, okay." He slammed down the cat food in front of Jingle in annoyance. "You may have won this round… but Rose is going to get bored of you at some point." Jingle stared innocently up at the Doctor. "You'll see," he assured the cat. With that he left the Jingle in the kitchen with his food.
