First of all, huge thanks to slaymesoftly for the cookies! Best mom ever. :-)

Second of all, speaking of snacks, here's a drabble for open_on_sunday's prompt "Breakfast in bed". And yes, I apologize in advance.

Room Service

"Heeeeere, kitty kitty."

There's warmth, both in the voice and in the air coming from the open window. Normally she wouldn't enter a strange house, but she's been out all night in the rain.

"Heeere, kitty kitty. Want some milk?"

Yes. She does. Shivering, the soaked little cat jumps onto the windowledge and looks inside. A safe, cozy apartment, and right underneath the window a big, warm bed with an... odd-looking human in it. She jumps down onto the bed and lets him pet her.

"Meowwww?"

"Aren't you the sweetest little thing," Clem beams. "I could just eat you up."

Well, I thought it was funny. My cat, however, is greatly displeased.

Then my work here is done. :-) Thanks!

Aaaaaaaw! Funny. I grant you funny, but I'm informing the ASPCA.

Well, there is a fairly high-ranking fanwank (namely by James C Leary, who played Clem) that Clem only pretends to eat cats so he doesn't lose face with the other demons. His real plot is to liberate them all from the kitty poker mafia. So I deliberately left this one a bit vague... :-)

Thanks!

Ooh, I like that concept!

[diebirchen.livejournal.com]

Noble in a sense, but he might have taken the moral high ground and become a Sunnydale activist. All too often, life is a series of missed opportunities. Perhaps Clem does penance by volunteering at his local animal shelter these days.

Hee! The darker side of Clem...


you're welcome

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Yup. Thanks!

The ending honestly came as a shocker to me. We all *know* Clem eats cats, but that's not how we think of him!

[beer-good-foamy.livejournal.com]

Well, see my reply to diebirchen above. And thanks!

Meowwww!!

A turn you should you 'd'oh!' yourself after for not anticipating.

Well played. *coolface*

The day I stick a cute kitten in a fic and don't do something cruel before the fic's over, I know it's time to give this up. :-) Thanks!
