Here are some songs that are going into “Les Meowserables,” an all-cat version of “Les Miserables”:
- Do you hear the kitties sing, singing the songs of fuzzy cats? They are looking so adorable in little tricorne hats!
- There are scratch marks on the tables where my friends sharpened their claws, little scratch marks on the tables from a fallen comrade’s paws.
- Go meow, go meow, that’s what the kitties say. Go meow, go meow, make all humans your slaves.
- There is a box that’s full of sand. I like to poop just right outside. Scatter the litter on the floor. Then make my humans clean it up.
- Master of the house! Owns all of the space! Stomps across your keyboard, butthole in your face! Can’t adjust your legs! Master doesn’t care! Every surface covered with big clumps of hair!
- On my own, my humans do not love me. Hungry now, and yet, my dish is empty. I weep, and yet those jerks ignore me. They say I was just fed but not an hour ago - they’re lying.
- I brought a mouse that I just caught. I’m going to leave it on your pillow. I thought you’d like it, do you not? You know, I killed it just for you.

Thinking about teenage Sirius, wickedly smart with top grades, a rich heir to an old pureblood house, tall and handsome and haugty, drawing many admiring and envious looks that he appears to be above acknowledging. Popular, yet sticks to his small and close circle of friends, not really allowing anyone else close.
But even with them he's guarded about his own physical space; the old uncease is hard to shake, and it twists the want into knots. No matter how much he craves this intimicy, he struggles to accept it when it's given, and initiating it himself is even more difficult.
Padfoot makes everything simple, though. And so Sirius starts turning into him whenever he needs to be close - because asking for cuddles is so much easier for the dog than it is for the boy.

How to Write Bug Reports for Mods (that are actually helpful for the modder)
I have received a lot of useless bug reports over the years and it sucks big time. So here's a guide on how to write not-sucky reports for mods. Keep in mind this is based on my experience modding Skyrim on the Nexus, so YMMV, but hopefully it's somewhat game-agnostic.
Before you do anything:
Read. Everything. EVERYTHING in the mod's description. Then, when you're done with that, go to the Comments section and read ALL Sticky Posts. Then at least skim the most recent comments.
If you don't find your solution there, then proceed.
What is a bug?
A bug is an error in the mod. Whether it's a bad texture, mesh, or an error in the data package (.esp files for Skyrim.) Bugs will be present even on an otherwise unmodded setup.
What is NOT a bug?
Mod conflicts are when two or mods have conflicting data with another mod. This often presents the same as bugs BUT the key difference is that issues caused by mod conflicts are not present if the other mod(s) is not loaded.
These may need a patch to fix or you may just need to adjust your load order.
Why does it matter?
Bugs are a modder's responsibility and they (and other users) would benefit from knowing about it. If you find a bug after ruling out your other mods, please report it in the Bug Reports section!
Mod conflicts are not a modder's responsibility: there is no way modders can (or want to) test their mod with the millions of mods out there. Conflicts are not inherent to the mod, and should not be reported as bugs. However, it would be beneficial for users and the modder to know about, so I recommend leaving a comment.
What Information Should You Include in a Bug Report?
What version of the mod are you using?
Include the version number. Nexus tacks one onto reports, but it is usually inaccurate.
If there are multiple versions of the mod (whether it be separate files or choices you make while installing with a FOMOD etc.) include your choices. This can make a HUGE difference, as they can contain completely different data and the modder needs to know exactly where to look for the issues.
Are you using any additional patches the modder made?
Include these in your report.
Have you ruled out other mods/tested on a minimal mod load?
If not, please do this. If you don't want to, then don't post as a bug report (as it may or may not be a bug.) Adding a comment about it is fine, though, of course.
Explain your issue.
Give as much information about who/what/where/how you encounter the bug. Give information about how you tested for it, what happens, exactly when the problem happens.
Did you encounter the bug while updating? Say what version your started with and what version your updated to.
Particular NPC(s) affected? Add their names (please.)
An Example of a Report I'd Like to See:
*on the Nexus Bug Report Page: Very Real Cat Mod*
Hi Modder. I'm using version 2.0, the Oops All Bingus option.
While playing, I noticed Bingus (the cat that lives in the Bannered Mare) has solid purple eyes. I tested without any other mods active and it still happens. It only happens to Bingus, all the other cats I've seen have normal eyes.
I am not using any of your other patches for the mod.
Bottom line: modders should not have to play 20 Questions to get to the bottom of the problem.
