A/N: Part of my LJ-to-Dreamwidth fanfiction port; originally written in 2007, this piece won Third Place and Members' Choice in the 2007 UFO Awards. Before the shades of Raymond Chandler and Chuck Jones haul me off to meet the worm that dies not, however, I'd like to point out that the LiveJournal user known as fmanalyst proposed I take Mr. Cat as a subject and those known as haleysings and mangaka_chan egged me on. If there's any justice in the cosmos, we'll all roast together for this. Crossposted from nebroadwe to princesstutu and princess_tutu.
Dedication: For the above-mentioned persons. May the Muses have mercy on your souls.
