A Triple Drabble: A New Best Friend or UNCLE Has a Cat!

[alynwa.livejournal.com]

Sal hadn’t noticed the kitten as Illya rushed past, but he wasn’t so lucky with Glenna.
“Oh, look at the kitty!”  The Russian scowled, but she couldn’t help smiling as the kitten climbed to his shoulder as he pinned on his badge.  “He loves you!
Napoleon laughed and led the way down the corridor as Morris happily meowed to everyone he saw, causing intense embarrassment for Illya and “Awwwwws” to echo off the walls.  In desperation, he tucked Morris into his inside jacket pocket as they entered Miss Rogers’ office.
“He’s expecting you; go right in.”
“What is that noise?”

Blushing furiously, Illya removed the kitty and placed him on the conference table.
“What the deuce?”
Morris looked at Mr. Waverly and immediately ran over, climbed into his lap and closed his eyes.
“I am sorry, Sir!  We were told you wanted to see us right away.”
“It’s fine, Mr. Kuryakin, this cat obviously has good taste.  Miss Rogers has fielded complaints of mice in the Secretarial Pool.  Hand me the film, Mr. Solo, and take…”
“Morris.”
“Quite.  Take him to Miss Rogers and tell her to find a place for him.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Partner Mine, UNCLE has a cat!”

Eight Months Later…  
“It is your own fault!  If you had not been so busy attempting to chat up the new stenographer, you would have seen Morris!  You could have hurt him!”
Balancing on his crutches, Napoleon growled at Illya, “I was not flirting!  I was carrying a box of files for Susan when Morris ran under my foot!  Avoiding him caused me to lose my balance!  I almost broke my neck!”
Illya nuzzled the cat and placed it on their office floor.  “Mr. Waverly wants me to go to his cousin’s house.  Do no more damage to the cat.”

I laughed at this. Enjoyed how you took the scene from the show and wrote this for it. Although isn't very kind to Napoleon.

Well, you know Illya thinks Napoleon can be clumsy. So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.

Very cute! More coming?

I set up a new series on AO3 called "UNCLE Has a Cat!" so yes, there will be more tales where Morris shows up.

Thanks!

So, did Glenna score points with Illya for being a cat lover? You know I had to ask. These are fun.

I'm sure she'll be able to get some conversation out of him about Morris, for sure.

Wow! You tied this right into The Bow Wow Affair you clever girl! I am so enjoyed it. More to come I hope?

Originally, the story was only going to be the first drabble, but when pfrye suggested I make it longer, the scene in the Bow Wow Affair popped into my head and I knew I could get my story there.

Thanks to Spike's suggestion, I have created a new series called "UNCLE Has a Cat!" on AO3 that will be stories featuring Morris.

Thanks for commenting!

How funny! You should go answer the QotD in the Canteen. I swear I had no idea you were going in this direction! :D great minds!

Thanks! I'll check out the Canteen.

I always wondered how UNCLE ended up with an office cat. Now I know.
