Humane Society, by smilebackwards

This is the one where an angry mutant turns Erik into a kitten, and Charles finds him and takes him home (AU – Charles is not a mutant). Happy ever after!

Charles comes home at half past one with “essentials” which include a litter box, litter, a scratching post (“Clearly necessary,” he says dryly, holding up what’s left of his deceased orange cardigan), a squeaky toy mouse that Erik looks at with disdain, two dozen cans of something called Fancy Feast, and a red collar.

He also has two more books to add to his vast collection: Kittens For Dummies and Why Is My Cat Doing That?

On the off chance that anyone from my workplace is reading, I’ll go no further.

Rather, let me share a story. I met our new intern today. I wanted to give a first-day pep talk, but wasn’t feeling too peppy. So I said this:

“If you bring the motivation, we’ll bring everything else. But we already spend plenty of time wrangling the employees we *do* pay; we don’t have time to motivate you too.”

Yeah. I think I can cross ‘speechwriter’ off my list of potential careers.
