To your questions in paragraph 3 I'd answer "Lol, wut"?
But having read the microfic and not The White Cat, I'd have to add that, for me at least, the microfic stands perfectly well on its own four paws, tail swishing elegant arcs through my imagination. Clearly there was a backstory, but it was fun to make it up myself. Thanks! :)
Hah! you survived my explanation of structuralism, you aren't allowed to go "Lol, wut?". You have exceeded your Postmodernism Newbie "Wut?" allowance. Bad luck. Now we expect intelligence :>.
I am happy that the white cat has at least some effect non-intertextually, and I am doing my best to curb the impulse to throw a questionnaire at you to work out which bits did and didn't work. On the other hand, read the fairy tale. It's desperately mannered, as is characteristic of 18th-century French aristocratic storytelling, but it's rather fun.
Tell us more about your personal theory on the felinophilia? (Your story is lovely and I think stands very well on its own; and I have read the original, but a long time ago; and anyway I'd just like to hear more.)
I am happy you like the story and feel it works alone, I'm still all insecure about it. (Which, to be fair, is an endemic condition with me and writing, and can probably be safely ignored
