Yes it did seem odd no other cats interacted with Kip. Very subtle foreshadowing and it was a surprise! Looks like I am getting my email notifications now from this forum. The new one? haven't seen anything from our BoD.

There was even more foreshadowing than that if you look back at the very beginning. I find it to be very fun to do such things, hint at big twists and have people speculate. Glad you're getting notifications again!

I always give subtle foreshadowing to twists pretty early on. So, probably the first chapter is where it is, actually.

Ohhh my god!!! Dude I totally did NOT see that coming!! Ahhh Kip was never alive!
Huh, so does that mean that Princess is just creating a fantasy/blocking out if her twolegs actually hurt her and were abusive? Doesn't that sometimes happen when a trauma happens, certain things that are too heavy for the brain and emotions to process, get blocked out or not remembered correctly?
Or am I just reading too much into it and am just wayyy off base?
Anyways, I really loved chapter 6! It was great!! I liked that the tension was ramped up too. You made the arguing fresh and not boring at all, which is what I think sometimes reading the books.
That it was Fritz who finally broke it to Princess was neat, I had thought Cookie or Peppermint would do it when I read what was happening.

Pyropelt You're decently close with that theory. I can't say how, but you're in the ball park, at least. We'll soon be finding out how and why it's happening. Glad you enjoyed it, and I was able to surprise you and others! I try, but it can be hard to do sometimes. Of course, things really have to stay interesting. Fritz was just perfect for breaking it to her since he's more of the observant, thinking type. I can say now that the everyone else found it odd when she talked about Kip or to him, but none of them had the heart to say it until Fritz figured out she was seeing a cat who wasn't there. Probably the best twist I will ever come up with, lol.

Sounds cool and fun. Always good to practice. I've been drawing a lot, mostly fake pokemon I made up. Getting all creative myself. What are you drawing recently? I finished writing Sky of Shattered Stars today. Wooh! And if you ever want to share I'd love to see those fake pokemons. And lets see ... I've been drawing stuff for a RP that has two of my OCs (from two different RPs) swinging on a swing-set. They're both talking to each other. Now in theory, both OCs come from the same universe but the plots around them got so twisted that they both lead really crazy lives for two kids. So both of them are bragging to each other about how 'I know stranger people/go on better adventures than you do.' The struggle is doing the background because I want to show what they are talking about without word bubbles, so it's really crazy with a lot of references and symbolism. Swing-set is surprisingly the easiest thing to draw.

mintedstar/fur🦇 I have soooo many fake Pokemon at this point. If you really want to see them then make a PM, so I know it's an absolute. And I don't just dump a bunch of large pictures here, lol. Sounds about right. I'm not sure how to help with this, honestly. Don't really have any advice or suggestions. But I'm sure you'll figure it out since you're pretty good with this sort of stuff.

Hey! Chapter 8 was so great!!
I really love how you made every story unique, even though the flood impacted all of them.
I like how you mixed up the parts where many of them had to ride out the flood waves too. Like you didn't just repeat "I rode in a trash can" and have another cat go "I also rode in a trash can" and so on.
I really love how well you write emotion and descriptions!
Awww the ending was sweet! I'm glad Princess doesn't just forget about Kip, or get creeped out that he had been a figment of her mind for a while now.

mintedstar/fur🦇 I've been busy. Gonna try to get a new chapter out today, but *spoiler* tomorrow, the 17th, is my birthday. Pyropelt Yeah, I understand how repetitive backgrounds can be boring. Glad I was able to mix it up enough. Always a sucker for a good/sweet ending, too :3 Thanks for feedback!

Oooh man! I thought Cookie was going to die for sure!
Good thing that Tyrant saved her! All of them really.
Oh plus I thought it was neat that you showed Cleo understanding the other dog that was growling at Tyrant.

I couldn't kill Cookie that easily. She's like the group's mother :3
I always like the idea of cats having a non-feline friend to help. In the books, Midnight the Badger was always awesome. Having a dog now is definitely good for them, promoting good things for a pitbull is always nice, I think.
