Okay lemme cook here; expanding on the apartment complex cats au
creds to@hysterical-cats for saying Old Deuteronomy owns the building and like rents it out for super cheap because absolutely peak 10/10 he so would
most cats live there the only one I think doesn’t would be Bustopher Jones only because he’s rich but he lives close and visits every so often cause his nephews and niece r there. (Misto, Victoria, Alonzo) MONOCHROMATIC SIBLINGS 🙏‼️‼️‼️
I’m conflicted if grizzabella would’ve left on her own accord or she lives there still but no one interacts with her and like actively avoids her
Macavity doesn’t live there anymore, bro tried to set the building on fire multiple times/J not really actually be probably did.
god i love a found family….. i need to write a fanfic or something on this

Brush my hair
Read my lines
It’s time to go
Wear my suit
Put the make up on
Put on a show
Up, up, up, to the Heaviside layer
Up, up, up, I'm going straight up
Take my lunch
Lose my lunch
It's a shaky start
I'm old Deut
Now he's old Deut
I've lost the part
Down, down, down, to the center of the Earth
Down, down, down, I'm going straight down

old deuteronomy has learned that human fathers are oftentimes "out for milk". unwilling to shirk this duty, he too sets out for the closest catvenience store to make sure none of his 467 children are left milkless.

Old Deuteronomy being endlessly patient means a lot to me, but particularly his patience with humans.
He'll sit for a solid hour listening to the priests talking to him, and while he does not quite understand the problems of humans, he takes their communion seriously regardless. The nuns have pet names for him that range from dignified to amusing, and he answers and blinks, pleased and friendly, at every one. He allows children to grab at his fur and tail and pet him a little too hard, even as their guardians warn them to treat him with more respect, and rewards them with licks to the hand when they listen and change accordingly. He knows the parishioners by name and scent, and knows which ones to give a wide berth to, and which will treat him with dignity - some of them he has even watched grow up. He sits with widows and widowers who are mourning, and the glint in that old cat's eyes suggest a level of understanding that seems improbable - silly even seeking understanding in a cat - but it's there.
Deuteronomy is so revered and respected by the humans in the area, considering how they speak of him in the poem (or at least how Munkustrap *says* they do), and I just feel like the reverence is deserved.

I spent entirely too much time on this but it had to be done.

One of my favorite lines in Cats is “My legs may be tottery; I must go slow. And be careful of Old Deuteronomy.” There’s just something so poignant about saying “Hi, I’m weak, please be gentle,” and having that tacit sense of “Yes, of course they will.”
