were_lemurDoctor Who, Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler, all ages, not mine. Someone on Tumblr came up with the reason why the reason why the Doctor reacted the way he did to the cat in "Fear Her," so naturally I had to write fic.
"Aren't you a beautiful boy!" Rose exclaims.
"Thanks," the Doctor says, flattered and a bit confused by the timing. "I've been experimenting with back-combing... oh," he deflates, realizing that she's crouching, petting a cat. A ginger cat, no less; is the entire universe conspiring to mock him today?
"What?" Rose asks.
"Oh, I'm not really a cat person." He's not about to admit to her that he's jealous of a feline, so he continues, "once you've been threatened by one in a nun's wimple it kind of takes the joy out of it."
He has a feeling Rose isn't fooled.
