Author notes: Happy Birthday margaret_r! You’ve been such an awesome beta and friend that pushkin666 and I decided to treat you to some drabbles and ficlets. We divided six of your fandoms between us and each wrote you three things to enjoy on your special day <3 Here’s the first one from me!



“You’re spoiling him rotten.” Robbie is leaning on the kitchen counter, shaking his head in amusement.

On the floor Monty is purring loudly, stuffing his face with minced prime beef, courtesy of one James Hathaway, Detective Sergeant, Scholar and a Soft-Hearted Fool when it comes to Robbie’s cat.

“It’s his birthday,” James says, somewhat sheepishly. “Well, the anniversary of the day you got him.”

Monty finishes his gourmet dinner and jumps up, looking for ear scritches that James happily provides. Both man and cat look so pleased with themselves that Robbie has no heart to say anything more about it.

This was, rather like Monty's dinner, purr-fect.

Hee, many thanks! It was nice writing something very short for a change ;)

Ah yes, it is just perfect, and I love it:D So very Robbie and James and adding Monty in made it even more special. Thank you:)

I don’t know what to say. You and pushkin666 have given me these perfect gifts and I’m thrilled to pieces!

Now I’m heading off to the other delights:D

Yay I'm so glad you liked it! In my head (though it didn't make it to the drabble as I was trying hard to keep to the 100 word limit) James is spoiling Monty because he can't spoil Robbie as much as he'd like... :D

Awww this was soooooo cute and we just know that the way to a man is through his cat *g* And you can write drabbles again.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Thank you sweetie. And yes, spoiling the pet = crushing on the owner, definitely :D

Whoo drabbles!

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

Drabbles are awesome. Also that icon looks so like one of your beasties as well. Who of course I would never spoil *g*

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Perish the thought of you spoiling my beasties. The implications of that would be shocking ;)

[pushkin666.livejournal.com]

I suspect I may be partially responsible for Perdie's tummy :D

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

I suspect you're right :D Dreading the vet visit next month...

[barcardivodka]

Oh this is so wonderful :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you very much :)

[tehomet.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeet!

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Cat + Hathaway can be nothing else but sweet! Thank you!

What can I say ... I've got a soft soft spot for cats myself, so reading this was a very good way to start my day :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Excellent! My day usually stars with cats too although they tend to be loud and annoying first thing in the morning when demanding food and attention :)

[cricri-72.livejournal.com]

Fiction and reality ;) I love our cat, but I'm no morning person and when I'm just out of bed, still half aslepp, and she's dancing around me like she hasn't seen any food for ages ... not always the best way to start the day. But on the other hand - if I've got a little time to sit and drink some coffee before I have to got to work and she sits on my lap, purring - best way to start the day :)

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Aww, is that your kitty in the icon? She's very cute!

And yes, agreed. One of mine jumps on the bedside table and starts dropping things until I get up and feed him. He knows that the distinct sound of him pushing my glasses to the floor is always guaranteed to get me up...

And the cat is the only being that James can unashamedly give and receive affection and touch.

[kat-lair.livejournal.com]

Exactly so! In my head James is lavishing all the attention on Robbie's cat that he hopes to lavish on Robbie... :D
