    Thank you so much for reading and the generous review. Harley and Leo have a very passive-aggressive relationship, and it is important to note that neither Simba or Leo have any front claws! I'm glad you enjoyed the story. ~patty~

Mustangpatty,

This story is written well, not being encumbered with spag errors. Your description of the puppy's first meeting with the cats was well done. Good job.

Hi Patty, I enjoy these guys, it's like stepping outside of our world and entering their fantasy world. This one is sweet and can't say I blame Harley for wanting the soft cuddle.

and he luxuriously stretched his front paws in front of him and arched his back in a giant curve. The stub of his tail began to wag because it felt so good to be free!
--I felt his stretch..lol

    Thank you SO much for reading and the generous review. Your kind words brought a smile to my face. Writing Harley's POV is a struggle because I want his 'voice' to be unique - and not anything like Simba and Leos' voices. I appreciate your remarks. ~patty~

Again, a fun read. I didn't find any errors or was I enjoying the story too much to notice. Anyway there was nothing major. I like Harley's POV. His timidness at first and then his pure-speed aggression. The cats will teach him the rules, which, of course, he will break. grin. Kone

    Thank you SO much for reading and the generous review. I appreciate your comment about Harley's POV - I had a great deal of trouble finding his 'voice.' It is important to me that he sound like the feisty little dog he is - and not just another one of my pets - or worse - sound like the cats! I appreciate your input. HAPPY NEW YEAR! ~patty~

Harley is about to learn a lesson in life. Dogs and cats don't mix. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words.

    THANK YOU so much for reading and the generous review. I've been struggling with this story for a few days now - finding Harley's 'voice' is tricky. I don't want him to sound like the cats, and I want him to come across as the feisty little dog he is - your comments make me feel like I'm on the right track - THANK YOU! ~patty~
