Buffy Drabblette: The Naming of Names

[ladycallie]

Season Four, no spoilers of any value. W/T. Written for whedonland's no points happy contest .

Everything about her was tiny.

Tiny ears. "Like little Doritos! Nom nom nom!" said Willow.

Tiny paws. "All the better to be sneaky with." Tara noted.

Tiny body. Perfect for snuggling with two new mommies, they both agreed.

She was so small that they decided she needed a very long name to balance her.

And so she was christened Miss Kitty Fantastico as the witches floated feathers around the room for her to pounce after.

Awww... This is adorable and perfect!

Awwwww. Doritos ears. XD

(Er. Whatever happened to that cat? o.O

[ladycallie.livejournal.com]

:P When Izzy was a puppy, her ears were itty bitty and we'd nibble on them and call them Dorito ears.

Dawn says something in season five (I think) about some incident not being like the Miss Kitty incident, but after season four, we never see her again.

Oh. Poor Kitty. o.O (Actually, I do remember that line now.)

From Buffy Wiki- The cat is finally mentioned again in the penultimate episode of Season Seven, "End of Days", when Dawn claims, "I don't leave crossbows around all willy-nilly. Not since that time with Miss Kitty Fantastico", implying that the cat died from a crossbow incident.

Apparently it was season seven. Who knew I was listening enough to remember that! I have a hard time believing her was killed. Run away, yes, but killed doesn't work for me.

I'm sure it wasn't that morbid.

>.>

I chose to believe they gave her away for safekeeping after an incident with the crossbow --- that was a near miss.

I found her! She got eaten by the bed!

Random. Did you see the Farscape parody Stargate did?

[ladycallie.livejournal.com]

I was over that like white on rice. I only watched SG-1 for Ben and Claudia. It still cracks me up. That entire episode is insane.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Okay. Good. I saw it on my YouTube suggestion list, and thought of you. I figured you HAD, but on the teeny off-chance you hadn't, I wanted to ask

You watched the full seasons 9 and 10?

[ladycallie.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you for thinking of me. :D Yeah, I watched half of season eight (whatever Claud's first episode was) and then finished the series. I tried to start from the beginning, but overall the show isn't my cup of tea. I own the movie, but it's really it's own thing from the series.

[ewanspotter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the movie sets up some boundaries, but the show definitely took on a life of its own.

Starting from the earlier days is hard, which I understand. Watching it today, and knowing where it's going and knowing it's potential, the first season is.... dated. You need it for foundation, but it took them a bit to figure out what worked (and what worked horribly) and to find characterization. The new pilot was better though. They cut out all the crappiest and cheesiest stuff at least.

I'm looking forward to seeing those later seasons again (when we get there, we're only on season four at the moment). Mostly because I haven't seen those episodes as much, and they're not as iconic for me as the earlier years were. So that'll be fun.

Did you see Continuum? Claudia and Ben are obviously in that, though Claudia's role is a touch reduced because she was preggars.
