Feline Follies

[Redfern]

It probably would have proven too impractical because the makeup appliances were so delicate as to be single use only, but I would love for the Doctor to wind up with a CatKind traveling companion.

This is what I envision in my mind's eye. (Sorry, but I had to depict my favorite Doctor.) Ever more impossible because the team had to restrict the felinoid appearance to just the face (hence the head to toe "nun" attire and Brannigan clothed to resemble a WWI flying ace complete with a flight cap and scarf.

But one can daydream.

Mine, as well. I grew up with Mr. Baker.

Assuming you're possibly asking legitimately, Tennant's Doctor makes the comment in "Fear Her" because of the events in "New Earth", facing off the corrupt Sisters of Plenitude (a race of "CatKind", felines who had evolved into sapience). However, during his return to New Earth in 'GridLock", he encounters Brannigan, a kindly male CatKind, his human wife, and their children (taking after their father's side of the family). Meeting Brannigan and later a repentant Novice Hame (a young Sister who knew nothing of the earlier nefarious actions but was arrested anyway), helped to change the Doctor's opinions about cats. The "kitten" he is cuddling in that GIF is meant to be one of Brannigan's kids. They even got a shot where the production dubbed in the word "Momma!" when the kitten meowed.

So, yeah, we know Colin Baker's Doctor liked cats (hence his various pins), Tennant's Doctor was "turned off" by traumatic events, but later reevaluated his opinion.

On the other hand, you may have seen these episodes and are just having a bit of fun.

I've seen them all. Gridlock was just more memorable re: the cats

Cat reacting to fireworks.... poor pet!

Too much boogie in their butts, or possibly catnip. The second one is having clutch trouble.

how does your cat do with fireworks? Ours is fine but hates the marching band drums!

Ol' Smokey (my remaining nearly 17 year old) actually did just fine. I'm not entirely sure how my mother's cat (Missy) really felt, she seemed to be missing most of the night.

Got this cute shot of my Mom's two pets, both keeping an eye on the delivery man.

You know how cats like to play with the rings off milk jugs? My wife gave the cats the 3-inch ring off a mayonnaise jar. Mycroft pranced around the house for a good half-hour carrying it, occasionally stopping to drop it and bat it around. If Sherlock got interested, Mycroft would take off doing laps with it in his teeth. After a couple hours, he finally took a nap and let Sherlock play with it. A while later, I saw Sherlock was napping, too, so I tried to get Watson to play. He wasn't interested in the ring. I rolled it at him, and when it landed on his paw, he picked it up, smelled it, and then flung it across the room. It landed high up in the Christmas tree. I played ribbons with him (3-foot long cloth ribbons that were used to tie gift packages), which woke the other two up. Between them, they took the ribbon away from me. Watson likes to drag it around the house. This time, I followed him to the basement and found his stash of toys hidden in the furnace room: three missing ribbons, several milk rings, two mayo rings, and over a dozen balls including four golf balls.

^ Our cats Hootie, Luna and Arya received a ton of gifts for Christmas- yes- we have become THAT family - but they are most interested in milk-jug rings, any kind of miscellaneous string and my hair doodles.

The remote is sticking--I thought they said supertoys lasted all summer long!

Mine likes the larger Hellmann's Mayonaise rings, about 3".

I can hear the rumbling from here!
