Ok, I finally finished what you have so far and I have to say I can't wait for the next bit! The story is always interesting, and I love how you've done the interaction between the characters. Jerrie and Teazer especially I thought were well done, and I loved the exchange between Munk, Alonzo, and Tugger in the car. You also did a really good job of working in the lyrics and the style of the show while making it very much your own story (I thought the song Munk sang about Liz was fantastic! That, and the spin off about the Great Rumpus cat being awoken from his sleep, lol). Good job and I can't wait to read more!

I'm so glad you like it so far! I know the chapters are a little long, but if you give the story a chance, it is rather exciting! It's great you enjoy reading it^^ It has been updated with a new chapter, so have fun! (lol...I had fun with the Tugger/Munkustrap/Alonzo in the car bit XD More of that humor to come in a later chapter )

Just read your new chapter. I actually stumbled upon it before coming here, lol. Again, great! Gripping! I can't wait to see how it turns out. Though did you really just kill Skimble? (Sorry if you haven't read it yet, those who may be reading this). That makes me sad . Although I did like the whole 'sucker punch' thing that went around near the end, and yay for more fun humor to come!

I didn't kill him...Growltiger and Griddlebone did; weren't ya readin? ;D Yeah...yeah, Skimble got iced...makes ya wonder how Jerrie's gonna take the news, huh? Well, I figured the Jellicles gave Liz the gift of cat form...she should teach them how to efficiently beat the hell out of someone, right? It sounds fair XD lolz, glad you're lovin' it so far This story is officially half-way done. More drama, adventure and obsticals to overcome. More laughs, more cries, much more ass-kickery, we learn a lesson, we all grow a little, sunrise sunset...and all that noise Stay tuned

Technicalities . *weeps for Skimble* Poor Skimble. But yes, I will be very interested to see how Jerrie reacts to all of this (the jerk! It's all his fault! Ok, not really, but he's easy to blame at the moment). I enjoy his whole internal struggle. Most of the fics I've read with the character (admittedly few, but I'm working on it) don't go that deep. Tuned I shall stay!

Yes, Skimble's demise was an unhappy occasion. But no time to feel sorry for him now! No time to critisize Jerrie with his crappy judgement and poor decisions. Not while Macavity is crashing the Ball!
Tune into the new chapter!
Yes, I make sure to go 'deep' with all the characters (anyone who giggles at that statement is a communist!)

I didn't giggle until you put up the disclaimer at the end of that comment, lol. I guess now I'm a communist. I have to say I'm amazed and impressed by how devious and nasty Macavity is in this chapter (although having Misto's magic helps). Nice job once again! I occasionally drop reveiews through FF as well, under the penname Spocktopus, so if you see one from that name, it's me .

Lol, I am loving the 'brotherly love' going on in this chapter! I really like the banter and the relationships you've developed between the group of would-be heroes throughout the story. You really get a sense that these guys have been together for years and really know one another. (And it's hilarious besides!) I have to say....'Tugsy Wugsy'? Lol. Way to go for Tugger and his connections. Leave it to him to do something like that. I also have to say I have a fun mental image of Misto dressed in the coachman's outfit. I'd love to see that XD.

Pip: lol...yeah, I figured we'd take a break from the action for a brief moment to appreciate the 'love' the characters share XD *plans to draw Misto in coachman disguise*
Cafalle: Thanks! I love my fic on your site (the layout is awesome!)
Chapter 10 is up! LOVE THE ROAD RAGE!!!!

I DO LOVE THE ROAD RAGE!! Lol. '“LEARN HOW TO DRIVE, JACKASS!!!” Misto roared from the coachman's seat of the carriage, shaking his fist wildly in the air. “AND STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE FAST LANE!!!”' That made me so happy you have no idea . Reminds me of a road trip or two with me and my friends. Overall great chapter again, though I have to admit I got a bit concerned when Misto and Munkus started actually fighting over who was driving. I was afraid for them and for the poor passengers in the back. I think I feel especially bad for Deme, as she seems kind of like the innocent bystander dragged along into this whole mess, lol. And Bimbo-lurina? Lol, priceless. Can't wait for more! Oh, and I can't wait to see the picture either! *does little happy dance*

What's that with Misto? *curious face*
Anytime I will find the patience to read the whole fanfic. I'm sad I had none so far - since Electra is part of it, HELL!

What's that about which thing with Misto?
And you should totally read it Tricia!! It's pretty fantastic. I usually read fanfics in installments before I go to bed. I seem to be more in a reading mood then.
