Ah, I have to admit, I've never written fanfiction before. HOWEVER, I adore Yusuf, and I adore kitties, and it seems my inception mania is never going to leave me, so, here you are OP :3

Yusuf blames his manic love of animals on his childhood, for the most part. He grew up in the markets of Mombasa, where most animals were strays, and dogs and cats were no better than the scavenging birds that left droppings all over the city. His mother personally abhorred animals.

Yusuf doesn't even consider turning it out or taking it to the shelter or looking around for any previous owner. It is a slightly scruffy, but also very manly cat, and Yusuf think it is also a wonderful cat, although it does scare him a little when it squints so sternly ( ... )

This is already wonderfully hilarious. I adore this overmuch already. Please tell me that I'm not assuming incorrectly in seeing the character of Cobb in the cat? Squinting always makes me think of Cobb.
Also, I love the bit with Ariadne. Very cute.

Two days later, a prim and slim tuxedo cat is sitting on Yusuf's doorway. He nearly squashes it on his way to work ( ... )

"His name is Arthur," Ariadne declares.

"Wait, what," says Yusuf.

First, because Ariadne invited herself over via kitchen window through the backyard and second, because,

"How do you know?" says Yusuf.

Ariadne looks at him like he is not smart"I just do," she says finally with a hint of disgust, like Yusuf is a bad owner or something ( ... )

A week later, Yusuf comes home to find a giant, orange maine coon in his favorite chair back in the sunroom.

"Dear God is it free cat month?" Yusuf implores the roof.

Arthur pads into the sunroom then and immediately hisses.

"Dear God, your angels have spoken and it is the devil," says Yusuf. "Arthur, slay him ( ... )

This is adorbs! I'm grinning from ear to ear. It's so cute how their personalities come across as cats, and I love how Yusuf is completely flabbergasted by all the random cats but takes everything in stride. So cute. <3

*THANK YOU FOR ALL THE COMMENTS <3 by the by, Arthur is a most spectacular cat. Don't in any circumstance let YOUR kitties near coffee, because caffeine is not, generally speaking, very good for domesticated animals. Forward march!

And then one week, Yusuf accepts the invitation to attend a pharmaceuticals conference in Maine. He's been somewhat of a recluse lately. People have started to wonder if he is on an early slow spiral downward into late age cat dementia, at which he just sputters.

Because it does seem that way. He has three cats in his house and an Ariadne, and he didn't actually ask for any of those things, to be honest, but neither is he complaining. Everyone's really getting along great. Except that Arthur has stopped organizing the kitchenware and started dropping plates on Eames, and usually be misses and then Arthur looks at Yusuf apologetically over the dashed bits of porcelain as if to say I'm sorry, Yusuf, I don't know what got into me, and then Yusuf picks up the pieces and nods ( ... )
