Reviews For: The Cat and a Human Experience

Bedlam Chaos 2008-06-10 ch 1,	abuseI never read this story before today. It's good. :D I was wondering if you had in mine to perhaps continue it. 'Cause it could be a really nice prologue for a story with Edward as main character and his cat-brother as a kind of protector ^^. Thanks for it.
Cinera 2008-05-05 ch 1,	abuseIt was a really good one. Not exactly reincarnation, like you've already said, but it's pretty tasteful. I liked it.
DragonSapphire 2008-04-29 ch 1,	abuse...I have missed your work so MUCH! I really need to save my favorite stories of yours over on y!G before I get suspended again or banned, because I can't help reading them over and over! This story could have been heartbreaking... but actually it's surprisingly comforting. It's really interesting how the narrator makes a better brother as a cat, and 'reincarnation' of any kind is an interesting subject and you did a great job. Although I'll probably be giving my own cat the hairy eyeball after this. LOL!! Very, very unique and well-done!
MyNameIsTaken 2008-04-20 ch 1,	abuseThat was very good. I like his suggestion of the pink and yellow! Made me laugh. That is sad; The last thing Edward remembers of his brother is of him giving him a look of repulsion. (ew...bad mix of him's)
Amindaya 2008-04-19 ch 1,	abuseAs a girl who will probably grow up to be the crazy old cat lady hermit, I immensely enjoyed this story. :)
Naomi Schemer 2008-04-18 ch 1,	abuseInteresting little ditty ( but yeah, I admit it...I want more than interesting little ditties). The concept is interesting, the characters are interesting, the emotions being explored and the irony of it all is friggin' brilliant...and all I'm let to do is to wish it was longer, so I could say more than "this is interesting". Sorry it took me so long to review, though, and thanks for not dying. It's nice seeing you update, at least once in a while.
nonaccount 2008-04-17 ch 1,	abuseI did enjoy it. Totally different, I wonder how you even came up this idea - really creative. WARNING! Boring and pointless sidenote ahead: I saw Sherman Alexie at a reading he did a couple months ago for his new book, The Abslutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. I stayed after for the book signing, duh. I had two books, one from home and the new one I bought at the event. So the line herders go through the line and give you a sticky with your name on it so he can sign it quickly (god, i know this is boring, but i feel free to inflict this rambling tale on you - you're helpless with no choice but to read this! mwahaha! actually you could just click this into the delete pile sight unseen. ANYWAY) so I finally get up there and I'm such a star struck idiot I just stare blatantly while he signs the first one and then the second and then he suddenly looks up and goes, 'oh. i hope you wanted the second one signed that way too. doesn't matter.' - then he addresses the rest of the line - 'i'm only signing - for the rest of the night so i hope you're all named -.' And me I just smile and stutter something like, 'yeah, that's my name.' So smooth. Boring and pointless sidenote completed. Review to resume in 5-4-3-2-1 . . . . I'm kinda slow and it washed right over me that catman died after seeing his brother kiss some guy - that's got to be really guilt inducing for poor Edward. So it's good for slow learners, such as myself, that you included that note at the end. Prior to that I just thought "I never returned to shore" was some cryptic comment about giving his brother space, but now I see the light. I would also like to believe that a secong reading without your a/n would have made it obvious as well. Wow, enough about me, let's get back to YOU and your story. Okay lots of lovelies in here, let me mine some for you: "And what it is, is that the older brother I once half-heartedly despised is now the person who makes sure I don't starve to death." Gotta love that karmic comedy. This made me smile 'cause he's such a shit, "they'd asked me for a color decision, and I'd shrugged and suggested pink and yellow." Oh, the last section was just heartbreaking - poor Edward. "Imagine, a twenty-something year old man crying alone in his bed with his cat." At least he has a cat. And that must be catman's retribution. "Perhaps there's a lesson to be learned here; I'd always wanted an Indian Experience, but received a purely Human Experience only after I died." Circles, I like 'em. :) Another thing I didn't catch, god I'm beginning to wonder if I spend my life in a clueless fog - oh well, the blurred colors are pretty, "'You know how they are; outdoorsy, and really, you should think about that before you date one, if you catch my meaning?'" After some hard thinkin' the only thing I can come up with is, is the fop claiming that Indians don't shower or are overly fond of camping? Yet another sidenote - okay, so you mention an update for PU, but what about Rasta Guy? Where is the RG updateage? - end sidenote. Loverly story. I'll be thinking about it for a while.
Matthews 2008-04-13 ch 1,	abuseI think you're the only reason I ever visit FictionPress. sigh Once again, very interesting. You have some pretty original ideas that I haven't heard replicated anywhere, not to mention it's rare to find anything resembling a cliche in your work. A nice, fresh breath of air. ^^ Keep up the good work! I'll keep reading.
Marisa Gittinger 2008-04-13 ch 1,	abuseLOVED!
Erisah Mae 2008-04-12 ch 1,	abuseThis was interesting... the fact that the catbrother couldn't communicate to Edward was both tragic and fortunate in this case- he probably would have told him to get off his ass! Though, having known cats... yeah I can see that, heheh. Nice.
Mya 2008-04-12 ch 1, anon.	abuseI have indeed enjoyed another story presented by you ^.^ This story seems much too short for me, but then again it ends just right. Not too rushed or anything. In ninth grade I really believed in reincarnation, but now I don't really. I don't know what to expect when I die, I just know to live a good life and follow my morals. ^.^
Sakru angelqueen 2008-04-12 ch 1,	abuseI liked this; it's not one of my favorites of yours, but it was interesting. I do like how the story is told through the point of view of the brother and his infrence on his brother and sexuality; it's seems a little bit more real even though he's a reincarnated cat.
