I blame cadhla for Oh, Michelle. Then, hsifyppah defended vixyish with Damnit, Seanan. Of course, cadhla couldn't let that lie and fired back with Oh, Brooke. hsifyppah, being herself, had the response Oh, Seanan M... Then came libraryraven with Clever Brooke. Someone else, scifantasy, chimed in with Listen Girls aka War Correspondance. Well, all of those had me rolling on the floor as I read them (and not so coincidentally scaring the hell out of my cats). They insisted on having their say.

I give you, "The Cats View" (ttto 'Oh Michelle' by Seanan McGuire)

Oh you folks know the jokes
on both Vixy and on Seanan.
Did you really think that one of them could hatch this plan?
Holy smokes! C'mon blokes,
whatever were you thinking?
You really need to hear and understand.

Now the glowing egg-filled basket was just a minor task, it
was given to Seanan so she'd give it to her friend.
She dressed it up real neat, it was quite the major feat
but she got her friend to eat them and to hatch them in the end.

Yes, eat them all she did, while Seanan watched and hid,
not even once imagining the plot was not her own.
Us cats were watching quiet, we didn't even sigh, it
was yet more prey for us to hunt, these aliens we had grown.

Oh you folks.....

The book we put in Seanan's path, knowing well she'd do the math
And would give it her dupe so that Vix would read the spell
Vixy'd chant and she would sing, and do every little thing
that the evil tome would tell her, and breach the door to hell.

Now you might ask us why, we'd want hell's legions in the sky
and we'd look at you quite innocent and roll upon the floor
Wash our faces or our manes, though we'd take time to explain
There is nothing more offensive, than a sealed shut door.

Oh you folks.....

The killer in the night, who is causing such a fright,
was lured there by our plans on the night of Vixy's date.
Seanan planted deep the seed, played upon young Vixy's need
To have some more adventures, before it got too late.

Now we had hoped that man, would fulfill our evil plan
and clean up all the loose ends our plots had left unfurled
He got Vixy in the corn, leaving Seanan there to mourn
since she's completely spaced that, we cats rule the world.

Oh you folks.....

Oh you folks know the jokes
on both Vixy and and Seanan.
Did you really think that one of them could start this spat?
Holy smokes, c'mon blokes
What ever were you thinking?
To really cause trouble, takes a cat!
