Title: In a Bar Dealing with a Cat
Rating: PG-13ish
Pairing: Colin/Cat
Summary: It’s a prequel to my Far From Home with a Cat

---

Colin slumped over his drink, pondering his situation. He was far from Earth, and everyone on this spaceship was crazy. Lister seemed like a nice fellow, if a bit messy. Rimmer, on the other hand…He shook his head and took another sip. This was too much. Canadian comedians should not have to deal with dimensional tears in the middle of a show. Nope. Not at all. Especially when it leads to a Cat making passes at you.

Colin still didn’t know what to do about that. A Cat. Yes, a highly evolved Cat, but still a cat at heart. Strangely, neither Lister nor Rimmer seemed to notice the Cat’s behavior. Maybe they’d been around the Cat long enough to see it as normal, but what if they were testing him? What if they wanted him to sleep with the Cat? He didn’t know.

The Cat slinked into the bar and sat down gracefully next to Colin, interrupting him out of his thoughts.

“Hey, babe.” He purred.

Colin sat up at that. “I’m not a girl.” Sure, he was homosexual, but he was not a woman. Nevermind the number of times he’d played one on Whose Line.

Cat grinned. “Sure, whatever. Wanna shag?” Colin began to cough violently. This was not helped by the Cat taking out a brush and straightening a wrinkle in his jacket while raising his eyebrows suggestively.

“I…I need to talk to Ryan.” Colin ran out of the bar.

“Whatever, babe.” The Cat took Colin’s drink and sniffed it.

He could wait. No one could resist his sexiness for long. The Cat was sure that they’d be together before the day was out.

"Good lovin' needed bad!" :D Very cute. Love the cat's nonchalance in this.

He came out allright? Good. He's a little difficult to get the hang of. I mean, he looks easy at first, but that Cat is deceptively difficult. *g*

Ja, cool nonchalance is as hard in a fic as it is in real life, methinks. ;) I have a hell of a time. I dunno if I have a harder time with Lister or Cat. Rimmer comes a bit too easily. :p

Erm, I meant that writing him is a bit too easy for me. But if we believe Nirvanah Crane, what I wrote above is true, as well...

*snerk* Yes, yes he does. Hardlight bodies are very sensitive, after all....

Yeah. Um, I have a plotbunny that I wonder if you would like. rudelypinioned mentioned Rimmer/Ryan, and my mind saw him running off after Lister kissed him in your fic...If I wrote it, it would probably end up with Rimmer talking to Ryan after that, but no slash would come along. Do you want the plotbunny, or should I write it?

That's a great bunny, and I'd love to write it (I see cooperativity to sabotage the Cat/Colin). Since you came up with it, though, it's yours to write or to bestow as you like. ;)

If you want to take it, go ahead. (I'm in the middle of working through my 50 sentences challenge right now, so I do have something to work on...)

Righty-ho; I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
