Summary: To tell anything would spoil this. Just a bit of silliness set on the Black Pearl. For the "Narrow Escapes" challenge at Black Pearl Sails.
The hunt is on! Her mission is to rid the Caribbean of vermin--a business that is also a pleasure. Thus far in her young life, she has been highly successful.
Finally, her pursuit has landed her aboard the last great pirate ship, the Black Pearl. While the ship is riddled with lesser prey, her chief goal is to capture that most colourful miscreant of all. She is sure he does not know how close she is.
All her primitive instincts vibrate under her skin as she begins her stalk. This time that bastard will be hers. She will make him pay for every one of his wicked deeds.
Ah ha! There he is! Perched jauntily on the fighting top. Stealthily she climbs up behind him, weapons ready.
Now is the opportune moment.
She springs. For a moment he is within her grasp. Then, inexplicably, he is gone.
"Avast, you scurvy dog!" he cries.
She howls her frustration at the insult. He has escaped her again! But not unscathed. As Cotton's Parrot flits away, Cat O'Nine Tails shreds the single tail feather she has seized. Someday, she will get that parrot--if she has to do it one feather at a time!

I have been considering this plot bunny in which Marty stows away his white cat, Fluffy (an inexperienced male, but willing to learn). Oh well, in respect for the BP Sails PG13 rating, perhaps we'd best belay that one.
