A/N: A certain scene in The Lodger stuck in my mind, and this was the result.  Thanks to yamx  for the beta!


Two minds touch.  Two beings converse.  One is of this world, one is not.  The Terran is intrigued.  He has never encountered a Time Lord before.

The Doctor is alien, but there is much about him that is familiar.  He is intensely curious about everything.  He explores wherever he pleases.  He greets everyone while remaining aloof.

He can be cruel -- not by intent but by nature.  He takes what he needs without hesitation or apology.  He radiates superiority.

He is like me.  Though the Doctor has undeniable physical flaws, the Terran concludes that he would make a fine cat.

It was a wonderful scene, wasn't it? I started wondering what telepathic contact with a cat would be like, and then it flipped over to "What would the cat think of the Doctor?"

Thanks for commenting!

I think it's hilarious how he gets distracted by petting a cat and somehow manages to pull useful information from such an encounter. And then he acts like this is completely normal.
