Summary: "Of the Cat Who Walked By Himself, and the First Woman, and what came after..."
Why I Rec This Fic: The fic does a great job capturing a lot of the style of the original but also has something of its own, it’s also just a very charming story, that makes me smile. And it includes a nice podfic version of the story!

Character/Pairing: The Cat Who Walks By Himself
Word Count: 1426
Summary: "Daughter, daughter," the Wild Cat said, her thick tail curling from one side to the other. "For now you are still a Kitten who plays by herself. But you will be a Cat who walks by herself when you are grown if you wish to be."
Why I Rec This Fic: Reading this I totally forgot it was not canon, it’s a bit sad but soft story about time.
