Rainbow Wings (Reworked)
Chapter 1
I used to think that cats were one of the greatest animals you could ever have for a pet. That all they needed was attention, food, and a place to do the business. That's what I thought having a cat was like before I got the little monstrosity that has been the bane of all peaceful existence within my life and is the reason for my current situation.
"Felix, dude you ok?"
I groaned as I cracked open my eyes to see that I was still laying on the floor in my bedroom. The smug little bugger that just tripped me was grooming himself in the corner of my vision. My friend Jason helped me to my feet as I climbed onto my bed and started to rub my forehead. "Thanks man. I swear, one day I'm gonna kill that cat." Jason started to laugh at my expense and his laughter was contagious. This wasn't the first incident the tabby had caused and I had to admit it was one of the better ones.
To bad that it still was out weighed by all of the other problems.
"Jason?"
"Yeah man?"
"I ever tell you why I hate that cat."
Jason groaned and started rubbing his temples "Not this again."
I socked him lightly on the arm. "Jerk." He just turned to me with his hazel eyes and gave me a blank expression that screamed 'really?' before we both burst into another fit of laughter.
~Flashback~
Before I move on I probably should describe Jason and myself. Jason Smith Williams. He was a year older than me and was a dark haired, tall, and burly player for the high-school football team. He was Australian, but moved to the U.S. when his mom passed away. He lost the accent mostly, but still says the occasional "Croaiky" every now and again. Personally I think it's just him being a joker since we met in the fourth grade and have been friends ever since, but that's just me.
I, on the other hand, was from the states my whole life. My full name was Felix Alexander Preston. I was average in height and scrawny for my age, which by the way is 17. I was at the top of my class in both math and computer tech. This and my initials caused me to be the target for bullies. I stopped hearing from them when I befriended Jason, but it started up again when Middle School started. I stopped it for good when I decked some guy freshman year, I didn't even know who the guy was! I also had this affinity for animals that I can't really explain. People's pets would just calm down after I saw them or got near them.
All except for cats though. Furred devils.
~Back to the present~
Yawning and looking at my clock, I noticed it was getting late. "Well it's been fun Jason, but I need my sleep. We both got those exams tomorrow."
Jason sighed and slowly stood up. "Yeah, and you better tell me how you do. I want to see who does better."
I cocked an eyebrow and stared at him. "Is this part of that bet you made last week?"
"NO!.... maybe....." My stare didn't even falter before he sighed in defeat. "Yes."
I started to grin devilishly. "And what were the conditions for you defeat again?"
He playfully turned and socked me in the chest "I thought that you needed sleep?" We both started laughing before we said our goodbyes. I took a quick shower and got into bed. My mind started drifting to how my life has changed since I got my cat.
At first, when I brought him home, I found him to be sweet innocent and adorable, but that was just because he was a kitten at the time. After a few years though he started to run around like he was on constant drugs. He would bolt down the narrow hall, and actually bounce off the walls. He broke more stuff that I could afford to replace, so I just stopped putting pictures in small frames and hung them above his reach or stored them in trunks. He even tripped me at the top of a flight of stairs once. I broke my arm and one of my feet from that incident. If Jason wasn't so loyal as a friend then I would have died from trying to live in my own home along side that demon.
Food was starting to get really pricey as well. Almost a third of my paycheck was required to keep that cat fed for two weeks, and that's if he didn't sneak into the bag. I even found him in the kitchen pantry with his butt sticking out like a flag as he was gorging himself. What I don't spend on him is used to get me food, pay bills and rent, and the last 1% goes to my entertainment funds of twenty bucks a month.
The shedding was a problem also. I failed ten different job interviews cause the manager or whoever saw hair from his furry hide on me. My girlfriend even dumped me because she thought that I was cheating on her because she pulled one off my shoulder. We had been going steady BEFORE I brought him into my home! She knew that I had a cat with light orange fur, but she wouldn't listen. She knew that I would never do that to her, but she didn't care. She even found some other guy to be with the next day.
It seemed that all my problems stemmed from this one entity.
My tabby cat, Milos.
The same cat that was still licking his crown jewels at the foot of my bed as my life fell apart.
"Night Milo, I hate your guts!" He let out a long meow in response. Probably saying 'I hate yours to' or something along those lines. With nothing more to do I grabbed my headphones and MP3 before falling asleep to the greatest song in history.
Some time around midnight I woke up to a sharp pain in my foot. "Gah! Damn it Milo, Quit clawing my feet!" I looked down to find and toss the little bugger, but to my surprise he wasn't there. Instead he was sitting on my pillow that had fallen to the floor. "Huh... But what?" I sat up and looked at my foot to see if it had a thorn or something but found nothing. Deciding it was best to get back to bed I laid back down. Before I could close my eyes the strangest thing I have ever seen flew in front of me, landing on Milo's waiting paw.
A glowing multi-colored butterfly.
I sat there dumbfounded. Not only was there a flying pair of glowing wings that looked like it came from my Paper Mario game in my room, but also Milo hadn't attempted to eat it yet. Instead he gently pressed his nose to the butterfly's head, causing it to burst into many more butterflies. I must be on some serious drugs. They all found a place to rest on the walls of my room and some on Milo. The Tabby then sauntered up into my lap and placed his paw over my heart.
That was when hell broke loose.
The butterflies took off and started to swarm around me. I panicked as they flew faster and faster until I began to lift into the air. My vision began to blur and all I could see was Milo sitting calmly in front of me. The butterflies became a rainbow tornado of color as his eyes glowed with a bright white light and I began to get light headed. The last thing I remember before blacking out was what happened next.
"Good bye my friend, enjoy your new life."
and with that I fell from existence.
POV Scootaloo
This is so BORING! Me and the Crusaders had decided to help Fluttershy and see if we had missed something that would help us find our cutie marks last time, but so far all we've done is garden and take care of some chickens, and NONE of us have gotten a cutie mark! "Girls, I say we call it quits. We've been here for hours and haven't found a thing."
Applebloom dropped her bag of soil and turned towards me. "No way! Ah jus' know our cutie marks have somethin' ta do with these here plants."
Sweetie popped her head out from some chives she was collecting. "I don't know Applebloom, maybe we're not meant to be herbalists." She looked at some chives that were stuck in her hair. "Or gardeners for that matter."
"What are you, a dictionary? Let's just go tell Fluttershy we're leave-..." I never got to finish that sentence when a butterfly landed on my nose. It was one of the most awesome things I had ever seen. Every color of the rainbow was in it's wings, just like Rainbow's mane. After a second of rest it took off and more butterflies showed up. At that moment, the back door to the cottage opened.
"Girls, It's getting late. You probably should start heading- *Gasp*"
Applebloom ran up to her and me and Sweetie followed. "Fluttershy, do ya know what kind ah butterfly that is?"
Fluttershy just stared ahead muttering something, before she started to walk closer to them. The butterflies had started to move to the center of the clearing as all four of us watched in awe as they piled together. Then suddenly in a flurry of colors they shot into the sky, vanishing from view. As the others kept watching the sky, I looked back at where they were and couldn't believe my eyes. Where there was nothing earlier was now a cat with three different colors. I ran up to it and checked to see if it was alive. "Whoa! Girls look at this!" I yelled as I felt it's heartbeat.
Fluttershy came over and gasped again before picking it up and bringing it to her cottage. She called over her shoulder that we needed to head home before she left. Reluctantly, we climbed onto my scooter and I took Sweetie home first, Applebloom second. As soon as she was out of view, I sped to the clubhouse. I entered and grabbed my sleeping bag for our sleepovers. I ate some apples I had stashed under a loose floorboard before going to sleep. I tossed and turned that night as the cat that appeared earlier would not leave my mind.
Never had sleep been this difficult.

1213945 Understatement of the year. I just got 3 favs in like 1 minute. I hope that I can keep this up and juggle life at the same time.
YOU FOOL! THE CAT GODS ARE NOT PLEASED WITH THIS STORY FOR YOU SHOULD HAVE MADE IT LONGER AND UPLOADED IT ON THE SACERED DAY DEDICATED TO THE CAT OVERLORDS!!!!
Known as Saturday but just to be silly caturday.
but anyway keep it up and take your time i want to see where this goes:D
Talking cats and getting screwed over.... for some reason my first thought is 'Nyan Koi!'
I like your idea though, and that picture is adorable.
With some effort this could be soooo awesome.
weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/interesting-you-may-proceed.jpg
1213954 My little ponies and a human who turns into a cat that could end like Scootaloo's pet. how could this not be popular?
1214044I like that picture
to author
This has a good PLOT I can't wait to see where it goes.
1214138 Thanks It seemed it fit the story.
And it remind me of my old cat Blackie that sly bastard.
1214175Yes yes it does
See it's funny how you all have cat problems, but my cat loved me and never did anything wrong and even brought me presents like dead animals which I cooked for him
1214285 Oh don't get me wrong Blackie and my other cat Mille were fantastic. Many a time I would lay no the sofa with him on my belly both of us having a great time, and when I went to sleep at night it was to the sound of puring.
The only problem I had with them or rather him was that sometimes he would go balistic when i petted him if i reached his belly that he himself presendet for my to pet.
If you dog gets carried away and bites you, it will generaly be very sorry. A Cat however will generaly say:
"So what if i bit and scratched your hand and cost you a pint of blood? Can you see that pink thing? Its my ass I'm leaving now, later feder and feces scooper." Leaving you sitting back with a bloody hand and a feeling of being a battered housewife.
I would however not have missed their company for the world
I'm quite sad that I can't have a cat now due to my landlord.
Proceed
1214285
I agree, cooking the dead animals is the be... wait what?
1214475That never happened to me which is awesome there was only one cat that did that and that was because my friend picked it up and threw it at me. Then gomer feasted upon it's throat.
1215114I agree dead animals are fun I cooked gomer once he was dead and ate him felt sad at first but it's what a mother cat does to a cub that dies. I also ate engine ripped cat once it had motor burn though and tasted nasty
1214475 Speaking of pets, I based Milo off of my cat Tobi. The only difference is he isn't a tabby and hates my room.
1215345
I am going to leave this at our opinions differ ;D
1217588HEY you brought up cooking dead animals sir you can't blame for worshiping the ways of cats in the wild. Hmm tasty chicken oh it's human doesn't matter it's good that's all I need to know
1219492
"HEY you brought up cooking dead animals sir"
I beg to differ
"even brought me presents like dead animals which I cooked for him"
:D
BRING YO GAME FACE SON
1219782Well would you serve your cat cooked food I did and he was nice to me so no I cooked him food which he killed basically it was a hunter and cooker group so ha
1219986 That is dedication and no, meat drives me mad (i is vegetarian). though that must be one happy cat. my two are pretty happy, and both 10-ish (they where rescued ferals, not my black heart) so the don't try to kill much.
1220034Ahh makes sense but their nice because saved animals are always nice, but I understand the meat thing I'm trying to be a vegetarian, but it is hard for me to always stick to me. I want a pet chinchilla well 402 exactly
1220034
1220055
Can you two please move this debate to a private chat? As interesting cooking dead animals is, I kinda want to hear what the other peps have to say.
Ok *Sniffles*
1220165 the alert came up as i was PMing him, so i am way ahead of you. Sorry btw.
EDIT: I can remove them if you want.
He died don't you remember then I honored nature's way.
1220171 don't be sad, do what makes your friends happy and cook for your feline companion to your hearts content
1220177 It's ok bro.
1220189
......my bad.
I got a notification for an edit btw when is the next chapter going to come out
It's all good but I still want a cat to cook for also do you know what I mean by honored nature
1220224 yes. And I respect that.
Thank you sir most people are usually repulsed by such things but you aren't you have earned my respect and that is not given freely
Definitely has potential. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out,
As a fellow Cat in Equestria (Or CiE if you will) author, I'm quite excited about this. Gonna read in a little bit.
-Glassed
Hmm, a few grammar issues and the pacing could be better, but an interesting start.
I'll favor this and continue reading
ALL HAIL THE SPACE-BUTTERFLY! OFFER YOUR MOON NECTAR TO THE OVERLORD!
-Glassed
XD Alright, sure! This looks good! I wonder how similar yours and mine are going to be, because I was found by the CMC as well! XD
I know I am late to the party but I will be considerate and point out some misspellings I saw to help fix the story (It is interesting so far).
1. Height is spelled wrong in the description paragraph.
2. You have dose when you meant does.
3. When you have feed the cat you meant fed.
I hope that helps and will like/fav to continue reading the story and assist when I see something.
1235045
Aye.
1235045
I left my moon nectar at the Solar Convention though
for describing what is supposed to be the protagonist or failing that a very important character i think you could have done A LOT better in describing both the cat and its arrival in equestria ....
I don't know if anyone has made this refference yet but I will! For the moment I read that the human character's name is Felix (and that he turns into a cat as the summary states), this clicked in my mind:
When the cat talked (i believe it was the cat at least) i was immediatelt reminded of the cat king that was made fron the creatorr if My Neighbor Totoro

2706577 I thaught of pewdiepie
Ahhhh... no. This obviously isn't the cat's fault.
This is the girlfriend growing bored with you, finding a new boyfriend, cheating on you, and then using the cat hair dually to a) get out of the relationship and b) make her seem like the victim to outside observers and pin the blame upon you. Nobody gets a new boyfriend that quick, and if she was actually faithful and knew about the cat she wouldn't have dumped you in the first place.
Just an observation, Mr. Fictional Character.
Needs a question mark. Also, the 'why' looks out of place.
I wish I made 2 grand a week.
This seams kinda cool... Very creative with the butterflys... I like it!
3707211
Probably meant 'month.'
3707211 that's what I was gonna point out...
3703340
People tend to get emotional about breakups. He was probably latching onto the possibility that it was the cat's fault and not his own. He also does not seem to want to blame her for whatever reason.
He does love the cat on some level or he wouldn't have kept him.
That is best song ever
