Witcher Cat Fics

Do you like cats and The Witcher? Then maybe you'll also like Witcher cat fics! (sorry, not Cat Witcher fics). Here is a little list of fics I found that feature cats, but it's certainly not complete. If you know of other Witcher fanfics where a cat plays an important role in the plot, please let me know so I can add it to the list.

Have fun with cats and Witchers!

Upon request, today we have a rec list of fics where Louis, Harry, or both of them have pets. This is a great group of fics, so please be sure to check them all out and show the authors some love! If you enjoy our rec lists, please also like and reblog this post to help spread the word. Happy reading!

1) Maple | Mature | 5,255 words

Prompt 30: Louis is crazy about animals, so Harry is determined to get him all the pets he wants even if they are unconventional, like a baby goat. Louis is over the moon when they get to adopt a goat family, but there’s one little problem, and that is the goat not liking Harry…or even letting him get close to Louis. At first it’s all endearing fun and games, but when it starts affecting their sex life and Harry’s dick feeling neglected, he’s determined to try win over the goat so he let him be with Louis. It’s easier said than done - who knew goats could screech that loudly? (Tip: google goat screaming to get an idea how loud.) ***Change to a cow, I hope that is okay.

2) At The End Of My Rope | Mature | 5,608 words

"Baby?" Harry mumbles, voice laced with sleep and a shiver goes through Louis at hearing the term. He hasn't called him that in so long, in that voice and, clearly, even Louis' body fucking misses it. "Did you cheat on me?" Louis finds himself asking. If he's being honest it's more so he can see Harry's reaction, than a genuine question, but what has he got to lose? Sure enough, Harry's face changes from sleepy to the most incredulous look Louis' ever seen on him. He actually looks terrified, all wide eyes, mouth gaping like he can't believe Louis would even assume that and Louis would laugh at it, but he's so done with the way Harry's been acting, he just wants to know what the hell's going on.

3) If This Room Was Burning | Explicit | 8,629 words

Where Louis' cat gets stuck on the roof and Harry is the firefighter who ends up saving her.

4) I Built This Bed For Two (I Built This Bed For Me and You) | Explicit | 8,942 words

Harry and Louis broke up after uni and haven't seen each other since—until they're roped into doing a Buzzfeed video together. Featuring awkward cuddling and a reunion that just needed a kick in the arse, gleefully provided by Niall.

5) Glistening Under The Sun (You’re My Honey Soaked Love) | Mature | 8,996 words | Sequel

“Oh Petal,” he picks her up nuzzling the top of her head with his cheek as she nibbles on the lavender, “How lucky are we? I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy, the only thing we have to be sad about is that soon I won’t be able to hold you like this,”

6) Candle Wax & Polaroids On The Hardwood Floor | Explicit | 13,082 words

Prompt 463: Clumsy modern witch Louis AU where he accidentally gives his roommate Harry a love potion and he has a crisis because he thinks he will get in trouble with the law for technically poisoning someone and Harry’s heart eyes aren’t helping.

7) A Vivid And Wistful Melody | Explicit | 13,137 words

"Slowly, he takes his violin out of its case, listens for a few more minutes to Louis’ flute, before joining him as best as he could. The flute stops for a few seconds, and Harry imagines Louis blinking cutely, taken aback, before huffing with a smile, and starting to play again, on a suddenly far happier tune. Harry closes his eyes as he twirls around the living room, violin in hand and music filling the air. He pictures Louis doing the same in his own flat while being careful as to not step on his cat. Somehow, even with heavy eyes and tired limbs, this is the happiest Harry has ever felt in years."

8) Absolutely Smitten | Mature | 20,120 words

Louis is walking his dog. Harry is walking his cat. Leashes get tangled, and feelings too.

9) I Didn't Fall For You (You Fucking Tripped Me) | Explicit | 20,681 words

These days Louis tends to steer clear of dating alphas. He’s dated too many knotheads in his time, and he’s ready to just focus on school and his friends and his pet monitor lizard, of course. Too bad the alpha next door won’t take a hint and stop using the worst pick up lines of all time on him. He’s really got to stop laughing with him--and talking to him and walking to class with him and letting him bring him coffee and tea and gifts for his lizard and watching Netflix together and...

10) Nocturnal Creatures Are Not So Prudent | Mature | 24,558 words

Louis is a white witch with a little black cat named Hemlock and a best human friend Liam (they're a lot like Samantha Stephens and Louise Tate). When he's dragged out to a new club Liam's heard about from a friend and classmate, Louis comes face to face with that which witches do not touch: a charming vampire by the name of Harry.

11) Weightless | Explicit | 25,332 words

Harry is the best dragon racer the world has ever seen and Louis is an almost-vet who feels like he is carrying the weight of the world.

12) A Common Place Affliction | Explicit | 36,508 words

“You should go home,” Louis muses, and Harry can feel the omega crouch down to become eye level with Harry, poking his cheek with a dainty finger. Harry lifts his arm, taking a peek at Louis’ face. Louis looks tired, he notes, but not exhausted, and there’s an eyelash stuck to his cheek. Harry doesn’t hesitate to lazily reach out and thumb over his cheek. “Can’t,” Harry croaks, blindly twisting his hand around to grab at Louis’ offending finger and just holding it. “C’mere. Take a nap with me,” he asks after a beat, opening an eye to look at Louis. Louis raises an eyebrow. “M’not going to nap with you in the middle of the ER, H.” Sighing, Harry squeezes the young nurse’s finger. “Nobody cares.” He knows they do; they’ll annoy nurses and probably worry patients when they catch sight of a nurse and surgeon sleeping on the job. Let alone in the middle of the emergency ward hallway. Harry can hear the complaints now: ‘these are the people we’re supposed to trust with our lives?’

13) You Wish I Was Yours And I Hope That You're Mine | Explicit | 36,992 words

The one where Harry's a bit strange and Louis doesn't give up easily. Of course, they fall in love.

14) Give Me Love | Explicit | 41,041 words

Louis doesn't feel like a good omega, Harry doesn't remember how to be an alpha, and they figure it out together.

15) This Glass House | Mature | 43,072 words

While deployed, Alpha Harry gets injured by an IED explosion, leaving him to deal with severe injuries in its devastating aftermath. During his road to acceptance and recovery he learns with the help of Louis and their children just how important family can be for the mind, body, and soul.

16) Breakable Heaven | Mature | 44,594 words

“What do you think?” Louis gets captured by Harry’s green eyes, unable to look away or even take a breath. “I think you’re the most magnificent creature I’ve ever met.” “You must not have met many creatures then.” Harry’s eyes glance downward to Louis’ lips and his tongue darts out to wet his own. “None like you.”

17) Yesterday Came Suddenly | Explicit | 48,504 words

They don’t talk about it. The way Harry deflects any and all questions about his past and Louis pretends he isn’t confused or hurt by it. The way Harry keeps a distance between them and Louis acts like he can’t see it creating a wall between them. The way Harry doesn’t always answer honestly and Louis goes along with it as if he can’t tell. They don’t talk about it. Harry knows Louis feels like he doesn’t know him well enough, and it pains him. It pains him every time Louis gets that look on his face that’s a mixture of disappointment, frustration, and confusion. And sometimes, self-blame. It pains him because Louis is wrong. Because even though there is a lot Louis doesn’t know about him, there is so much that he does. He knows what Harry is like at his most vulnerable: curled up on this bed with him in the dark where it’s safest. He knows Harry in a way no one else does.

18) So Much We Didn’t Say | Mature | 53,584 words

Harry’s near fatal accident exposed the cracks in his and Louis’ eleven year marriage. A serious error in judgement by Louis shattered it completely.

19) Secret's Safe With Me | Explicit | 59,208 words

When bad turbulence and three glasses of wine have Louis spilling all of his secrets to the man sitting next to him on the plane, it's embarrassing, sure, but it's also easy enough to shrug off and block out of his memory forever. Or at least, it was until Louis went into work on Monday morning and realized that the man from the plane is the new CEO of his company.

20) Tug-Of-War | Explicit | 63,000 words

Louis' husband dies suddenly and he is left with nothing. Well, not really nothing. He has Harry. And a St. Bernard puppy named Link, whom his late husband left behind for him. Louis takes care of Link and Harry takes care of Louis. Everything is okay until suddenly, it isn't.

21) Sweet Creature | Explicit | 78,282 words

Prompt: "You're having a nightmare and I feel bad because you're trembling and crying so I crawl into bed with you and hold you so you feel safe, but in the morning you wake up with my arms around you and you're really confused and embarrassed."

22) Elysian | Mature | 81,886 words

Harry is running out of time to fall in love, but with Louis, it seems as if there’s all the time in the world.

23) Beautiful War | Mature | 103,379 words

Five years ago, Louis was nearly the next victim in a string of murders plaguing Portland, Oregon. He managed to escape and the Angel Killer was apprehended and sent to prison. Now, Louis' a best-selling author that assists state police with minor cases. He still suffers from the events of the days he'd been held hostage, but he's found ways to cope. That is, until the killings start up again. A body was found in the woods. A body that bared the same signature the media had dubbed: The Angel of Death. Special Agent Harry Styles leads the case, and he doesn't buy into the clairvoyant bullshit that Louis spewed to save face five years ago. He's certain that Louis Tomlinson was involved. Until they meet, and they're both left questioning everything they'd thought to be true.

24) Only You Can Be My Alpha | Explicit | 212,387 words

In a world where one was either an Alpha or an Omega wolf, Louis found himself in a body that could be neither. Born an Omega without the expected characteristics of one, he felt broken, choosing to live as Alpha a lifestyle as he could. Harboring a serious lack of respect for Alphas and their authority complexes, Louis managed to get himself banished from his home, forced to wander the unforgiving woods for years, facing the elements and fighting enemy rogues each time they arose. Unbeknownst to Louis, in a tribe to the southwest of his home, there lived a dysfunctional Alpha, the orphaned pack leader Harry, who had never felt satisfied enough with anyone to settle down and continue his royal line. Living their lives apart thus far, the both of them assumed that they might be alone forever, making the best of things despite this even though it hurt. Chance, luck, or maybe fate brings Louis to this tribe when he’d least expected to receive kindness and shelter from a stranger, and when he arrives, something in his soul pulls him to Harry like a raging river current. The two don’t get off to a good start, but everyone around them can sense the chemistry—and in time they do too.

Flash Fiction Friday: Familiar Melody

@flashfictionfridayofficial​ The wailing meow could be heard from afar as the clergyman Catradamus made his way through the cat district. Even if he hadn't known he was on his way to an possessed tomcat, the way the other cats in the neighborhood on quiet paws told him that something was wrong. A screeching like a bird echoed through the alleys. Catradamus fur stood up and it took a moment until he had recovered. His aim was clear and unambiguous, but how to achieve it was the question that had been on his mind for hours. Rarely had he seen such a severe case of possession and treated even more rarely. Damien Cat, that was his case. A young cat from a good family, loved by many and courted by many cat ladies of the city for his future inheritance. Only it seemed that Damien liked to put his paws into dark schemes and now he paid the bill. When Catradamus entered Damien's room he already sensed that it had become worse. The cat stood on his back paws like the people from the stories of times gone by and looked down on the clergyman. "What have we here? A cleric, how cute." Without going into it Catradamus put everything in order.  Valerian in front of him, catnip to his right and the figure of the Great All Mother to his left. Carefully he put the cord of red wool around him and began to recite the familiar verses. "Great All-Mother, look down with your nine eyes and countless lives and see your child in need. Look, O Great All-Mother, and see us in times of greater need. Honor us with your smile and sweep the spirit that has taken possession of your child out of this poor cat's body. Hear us, Almighty, we beseech Thee." "Really, Catty, we could do better than that. We've had the pleasure of doing it lots of times before. This is getting to be fun." Damien strutted up and down, occasionally throwing things at Catradamus. Irritated by this strange form of address, Catradamus thought. Very few had ever called him that. Still lost in thought, he heard a familiar melody that he hadn't heard since his kitten days.  Slowly it dawned on him what was going on here. Silently he rose from the spot and slowly walked towards Damien. Murmuring further verses he put a paw on Damien, but nothing happened. He just nodded and sat down again. Damien looked at him with big eyes. Pupils dilated so much that it was unnatural even for a cat. "Are you quitting already, Catty? It's no fun." Catradamus took a deep breath. "God damn it, George, how many times do I have to kick you out of my people before you realize you have no place in this world anymore? The time of man has passed. Stay the hell in the spirit world and stop bothering poor cats." "But we are friends, Catty. You visit each other now and then." "George," hissed Catradamus warningly. "It's all right," Damien raised his paws, "I've gone. Perhaps until next time." "The next time you come under me I will destroy your spirit forever. So stay where you humans belong: In the spirit world!" A snorted puff later Damien collapsed. The strange silence that spanned the neighborhood suddenly dissolved and the sounds came back like a tsunami, just ringing in everyone's ears. "Damn George, good thing you're dead already," Catradamus murmured and pulled the unconscious cat onto his bed.

He Shoots, He Doesn’t Score! - Leon Draisaitl

A/N: This was based off of this vine

Summary: A little drabble about a lazy day with Draisaitl

Warnings: none, I don’t even thing I swore

You and your boyfriend, Leon, were lounging in your apartment with your cat, Freya. When you had first started dating Leon had pretended he didn’t like the cat but over time, she won him over.

“I feel lazy,” Leon says suddenly.

“What do you mean?”

“I haven’t done anything all day. We just sat here. I haven’t even gone to the gym.”

“Then go to the gym.”

He scrunches up his nose, “I don’t want to.”

“Then don’t complain. Besides, you can’t leave even if you wanted to. Freya’s napping.”

“I can leave.”

“Get up then.”

He tries to move his hands underneath her in an attempt to scoop her off his lap and onto the couch but as soon as he’s ready to lift her he pauses.

“I can’t. She’s too cute,” he practically squeals.

You can’t help but laugh at the fact that your boyfriend,  a 6 foot 2” tall man has been defeated by your 9 lbs cat.

Later, Drai is messing around with one of his sticks that he keeps in your apartment and a net that you had from when your niece and nephew visited. Instead of a puck, he was using one of Freya’s toy soccer balls.

“You know she’s gonna get mad at you if you lose it,” you say watching from the couch and sipping on your tea.

“I’ll buy her all the toys she wants,” as if knowing she’s being talked about, Freya walks into the living room and sits in front of the net.

“Fray, move. I don’t want to hit you,” Leon says as he stick handles with her ball.

Instead, she focuses on the ball and watches as he moves from side to side. However, Leon takes to long to shoot and Freya loses interest choosing to lie down on her side and lick her paw instead.

“You’re not good enough for her. We should bring Davo for a real challenge.”

Leon makes a face as he mimics what you said and shoots. It seems like it’s going to past Freya but at the last second she gets up and smacks the ball away.

“Ha! Denied.”

“Your cat hates me. After the all the love and affection I give her, she still hates me.”

“Relax, Le, she hates me and I was the one who found her on the street.”
