From the Turn Left meme here: http://aldersprig.livejournal.com/1005760.html; off of this story: http://aldersprig.dreamwidth.org/260041.html in the Beryl/Damn Cat sequence, an AU.
They had gotten the cats distributed, gotten everything sorted out, all but one angry Siamese cat. The big old tom had clawed, bitten, and, when the vet had mentioned fixing, he drawn blood on four different people.
“Some cats,” the vet mentioned, “you just have to put down. You can’t leave him wandering, not knowing what he might have…”
She went quiet, because the cat had gone completely still. He wasn’t looking at the vet; he was looking at Beryl. His eyes, she noticed, were blue.
“I think…” she said slowly “…as long as you don’t try to castrate him, he’ll behave just fine now.”

O_o I’m wonder what he’d’ve tried if appealing to Beryl hadn’t worked. And how similar things turn out to the active storyline from here …
