You woke up to sunshine pouring into the bedroom and your girlfriend peppered your cheek with kisses. You groaned, not quite ready to wake up, and behind you, Kara laughed. That caused you to open one eye and give her a death stare. You didn’t know how she was always the first to be awake, even when she was out all night sometimes. How is it that she was so full of energy? It was like she had energy drinks for blood. You opened your eyes all the way and turned to fully look at her. You watched the way she stretched, how her back muscles flexed beautifully as she cracked her back. Your eyes followed the way her muscles rippled all the way down to her thighs, where they tensed with strength. How was she so gorgeous? Her golden hair draped down her back, curly and lustrous in the sun. Her blue eyes were bright and the color of the vast, ethereal sky above. They were deep and open, and right now you could see the profound love she had for you.
Kara reached over and gently took your chin in her hand, and kissed you deeply as her long, sure fingers stroked your cheek. You of course couldn’t help but melt into it. When it came to Kara, you would do just about anything for her, a fact that Kara has taken advantage of a few times to get her way. You grabbed her by her sweatpants and pulled her on top of your body, absolutely loving the way she laughed vibrantly as you grabbed her by the hair and pulled her in for a steamier kiss. Kara’s laugh was muted milliseconds before it turned into a sigh, and she wasted no time deepening the kiss more. Her hand traveled down the length of your chest to rest on your stomach, and she caressed you there. You shuddered before moaning slightly. Kara smiled against you, feeling the way your body grew steadily hotter against hers, and her hand was about to venture lower, her fingertips ghosting against the elastic of your underwear, when her phone rang and shattered the atmosphere that had cocooned you from the outside world. For the briefest of moments, nothing existed except you and her.
You groaned as your head flopped back on to the pillow and Kara immediately stared at her phone, eyeing the offending piece of technology for interrupting you two. Reaching for it, she pressed the accept button and held it to her ear. The call only lasted a minute before Kara nodded and ended it.
“Duty calls,” she said with a small smile and you sighed.
“Go save the world. And be safe for once.”
“For once???” she said incredulously as she crawled from on top of you. Immediately, you missed the weight of her body and how her strong hands had held you. “I am always safe thank you very much.”
You smiled. “Oh really? What about your fight with Reign?”
Kara froze as she grimaced and looked at you. That whole fight had been a bloody, scary ordeal. Her first encounter with the World Killer had left her in a coma for days. You had never been more worried for her, crying constantly during that period and hoping that she would wake up. You would have given anything, done anything, to see her beautiful comet blue eyes again.
“One time,” she amended.
“What about the time you almost died in space trying to get rid of Fort Rozz?”
“It was powering myriad,” she said, her hands moving wildly as she brushed her hair.
You sighed. You knew that you weren’t being fair. In all the times that Kara had came close to dying, they were all for a necessary cause, and only happened because there wasn’t another option. You just worried about her and it didn’t matter how strong she was or how many powers she had. You experienced it firsthand how it was still possible for even the mightiest of heroes to fall. Your biggest fear was that one day, she wouldn’t come home to you, and just thinking about it had your eyes brimming with hot tears. As Kara got ready, she clocked in on your heartbeat, her super hearing picking up on your increasing heart rate, and in a flash, she was in front of you, giving you a warm and soothing hug.
“Would I leave you?” she asked, and you shook your head as you held her closer. You buried your face into her neck.
“Have I ever given you a reason to not trust me?”
Again, you shook your head.
“You and Alex and everyone else that I’ve come to love are the sole reason for why I fight tooth and nail. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anything happened to any of you. I will always come home to you. Always.”
She kissed you resolutely and poured the full force of her conviction into the act. You could feel that she was true to what she said, as always, and it helped sooth the growing anxieties you felt. Kara watched you calm down and she smiled easily as she ran a hand soothingly through your hair.
“That’s my girl.”
You blushed before she super sped out of sight and reappeared a second later in her signature super suit.
“I’ll be right back,” she said to you before she took off into the air.
You watched her disappear into the horizon, her red cape fluttering behind her valiantly as she flew to what you assumed was the DEO.
When Kara first told you that she was Supergirl, at first you didn’t believe it, but the moment she took off into the air and returned a second later, you were floored. It was mostly because you let a measly pair of glasses deter you. When you said just that, Kara had laughed and reassured you that you weren’t the only one. It was one of the many qualities that you loved about Kara, her honesty that is. She never kept anything from you. Unlike you. This whole time she had been truthful with you, trusting you with a secret so monumental, that you felt the weight of her unwavering trust the moment she told it to you, and here you were keeping a secret of your own.
You got off the bed and walked into the bathroom, your attention immediately diverting to the mirror. You focused hard and watched as two giant cat ears sprouted from the mop of hair that you’d yet to tame. From behind, you felt your tail unfurl before it curled upwards and twitched behind you. When you looked down, you could see pristine, sharp claws where regular nails use to be.
You weren’t necessarily a cat, but for whatever reason you had the ears, tail, and claws of one. In addition to that came hypersensitivity and heightened senses. You hated it. You hated everything about it, and you watched as your tail swished in irritability. You felt like a freak. It was one thing to be an alien. In National City, there were plenty of those, but you were the only one of your kind. There was no one else like you, and a familiar sense of loneliness engulfed your chest and made your throat swell on a sob. It was why you always hid what you truly looked like. And if Kara ever found out what you really were, you were sure that she would leave you. After all, who would ever want to be with an abnormality? Though you wanted to stay normal at every waking moment, you physically couldn’t. It hurt if you kept your additional appendages hidden for too long. It was like keeping a muscle flexed for hours at a time. At some point, the muscle needed to relax, and for you, it was no different.
As the hours churned on, you managed to get some things done. You didn’t have to work today so you used the time to catch up on household chores, and one thing you absolutely loved to do, was listen to music as you did them. It kept you entertained. You were in the middle of thrashing to a rocking guitar solo, with a broom in your hands, when you felt someone behind you. You didn’t know how to explain it, but it was like the tuft of fur in your ears could feel the vibrations of another presence in the same room. You gasped and ripped the earbuds out, swirling around in panic to stare at the shocked face of your girlfriend. At first nothing happened, and no one said a word. Your heart was beating aggressively in your throat, and you swore that you were going to throw up. Your breathing was erratic, and it took everything in you to not start hyperventilating. The silence was deafening, and when Kara still didn’t say anything, your ears flattened to your head in dejection. You knew that she wouldn’t want you, but it still hurt like hell to experience your greatest fear personally. Without another word, you turned on your heel and went into your shared room to go pack your things. You didn’t get far when Kara kickstarted into action, super speeding in front of you to block your path.
“Wait Y/n, I’m sorry. I’m just surprised is all,” she said hurriedly.
You didn’t look at her, you just looked down as the tears dripped down your cheeks. You prepared yourself for the absolute worst and tried to remain strong in the face of the woman that you fell in love with, but the thought of her rejecting you had you scared and shaken. Your ears were completely flattened against your head and your tail drooped dolefully between your legs. Kara frowned and immediately hugged you, taking you by surprise. At first you were stunned, too frozen by the turn of events to do anything, but eventually you did hug her back.
“You’re not mad?” you whispered timidly into her neck and she shook her head.
“I know what it’s like to have a secret that you’re too scared to share. Of course, I’m not mad at you. I never could be mad at you.”
And just like that, your fears of her leaving you dissipated instantly. You hugged her harder, your arms wrapping around her body tightly as you cried tears of relief. She didn’t think less of you. She still wanted you, all of you. Kara let you cry out the fears that you had harbored for so long until all that was left was the love you had for her. When your sobs turned into hiccups, Kara gently set you down and smiled at the ears and tail.
“Is it okay if I can touch them?”
Well... this was new, but you still nodded. Tentatively, Kara raised her hands and stroked your cat ears, her eyes widening as her fingers tenderly parted the thick fur.
“Holy cow, they’re so soft!”
You giggled at her reaction. Her eyes were wide with wonder as she continued to pet you. When she made sure that you were comfortable with what she was doing, which you were, she gently curled her fingertips and scratched lightly against the sensitive flesh. You closed your eyes and sighed, reveling in the fact that it felt good to be touched like this, and you leaned closer to her touch. For several seconds, Kara continued to give you pets until suddenly she stopped. Your eyes snapped open to see her smiling sweetly down at you with her eyes shining excitedly.
“Y/n, are you purring?”
You stared at her in confusion until you realized that your chest was vibrating softly and when you focused more on it, you registered that you were, in fact, purring. You cleared your throat and laughed sheepishly.
“I-I guess that I am.”
Kara laughed and kissed your cheek sweetly. “I just want you to know that you’re perfect just the way you are, and should you choose, you don’t have to hide what you are with me.”
You smiled, fresh tears coming to your eyes as you twisted your fingers nervously. “I’d like that very much.”
Kara hugged you again before she took a deep breath. “So, what else can you do?”
***
You and Kara are at the DEO in a secluded training room to test your abilities. To Kara’s amazement, she found out that you could do a lot. Your level of agility and flexibility were off the charts. She watched you climb an obstacle course like it was nothing. Hypersensitivity and awareness were also your strong suit. Kara decided to conduct a whisper test in which she would whisper a sentence and if you got it right, it would get progressively hard. By the time Kara deduced that your hearing was well past extraordinary, she was down the hall in a room lined with the thickest metal. Now, Kara was testing the range of motor control when it came to your ears. She asked you to move them up, down, and to turn them inwards and out. Kara smiled.
“Wow Y/n. That’s amazing,” she paused as a mischievous smile spread across her face.
“Uh oh. I know what that means.”
“Sooooooooo humor me?” she asked, and you gave her a suspicious gaze. “Can you alternate between your ears? Say like point one ear up and point the other one down?”
You crossed your arms. “Seriously?”
Kara nodded excitedly as she waited for you to do it. The thing was that she knew that you could do it, and it was in typical Kara Danvers fashion that she would ask you to do it anyways so that she could see. You rolled your eyes and sighed, and she squealed when she realized that you were going to do what she asked. She giggled, cute and feminine as you alternated bending your ears, and every part of you loved it. You loved that she found them cute when you previously thought them a nuisance, and though you had a long road ahead of you in learning to accept yourself, you knew that Kara would make it infinitely easier.
“Come here, goober, and give me a kiss,” you said as you grabbed her by her suit and pulled her closer to you. She giggled before she kissed you, and then a second later she gasped.
“What???” you asked in confusion.
“Is this why you like belly rubs so much???”
You groaned in slight defeat, your head falling into your hands as your literal ray of sunshine laughed excitedly.

Had to draw some cat themed fanart for my fave manga #the way of the house husband I also like the anime; I love how the did the cats in it so had to draw them :P
Well it would seem I’m on a cat themed drawing day today starting off with drawing my own cat and then had a funny idea to draw the #wild Kratts bother Martin & Chris in power suits of the pet cat 🐱 because I sometimes end up saying their last name kratt as cat so though I’d make a play on that I need to work on pet cat power suit would look like more though I think
I mean I know they’d more the more wild cats not pets too much but if they did I’d bet Chris would get stuck in kitten form while his bother Martin would be stuck having to look out for his bother bother in adult pet cat form
It’s not difficult to draw a direct line from the musician Cat Power to contemporary artists such as Mitski, Angel Olsen, Phoebe Bridgers, Snail Mail, and Soccer Mommy—tough but vulnerable singers who write and often produce their own material, independent of a band.
Read the full review, “Cat Power’s Past Imbues ‘Wanderer’ with Empathy and Weight,” here.
What do you get when you pair French-British singer songwriter, actress, and model Lou Doillon with ever incredible Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power? A song as exquisitely wistful and beautifully heart wrangling as It’s You, that’s what. It’s You is Lou Doillon’s latest track from her third album Soliloquy, which just dropped last Friday on Barclay / Verve. It’s the sort of song that urges you to just listen, to feel every poignant murmur, bittersweet coo, and rustic strum in your aching heart. For the life of me, I have no idea how I missed out on Lou Doillon previously, but I’ve have Soliloquy on my must listen list ever since I heard It’s You and delved into some of her prior releases. Like remnants of weathered, faded memories, reedy leathered It’s You haunts us to the bones. Its pastoral intricacy and melodious purls reminds me of early Patrick Watson.
Doillon says, “All my new songs used to live in an acoustic guitar as that’s how I wrote them. I did not want to turn away from that and thought that with a song featuring an acoustic guitar I should work with someone I admire. I sent Chan a message on Instagram and to my surprise she answered back straight away.” Doillon already had a bare bones recording and told Chan to do anything with it. The affecting, haunting 'It’s You’ was the result.” Dear music gods, I would be grateful for the rest of my life if I could witness Lou Doillon and Cat Power together, live, before I walk off this earth. I’m serious. Please make that magic happen. But I’d also be pretty happy to see Doillon live solo too, since I’ve yet to experience that. Keep up with the Parisian musician and learn more about her new album via her website, here. Watch a video for the song below.
