Life on Mars – Cat Style by Sarah Hartwell (PG-13)
Hi, it's Andy again, back to pimp more Life on Mars fic for you all! Last time, as it was a 'small fandom', I attempted to give an overview of the entire fandom. This time, I'm going to concentrate on those that are, in one way or another, special. Whether it's rare pairings, unique points of view or just very, very strange, it's here.
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Gen
Length: ~9,000 words
Author on LJ: not known.
Author Website: Moggy Cat
Why this must be read:
So, all that said, here's my first recommendation. And this is definitely one of the more unique takes on the fandom. Here Sarah takes the premise and weaves into it her love of cats. It's incredibly endearing, funny and moving.
Later, Sam pondered his predicament. He was in a world where no-one seemed aware of the dangers of FeLV or FIV and where his only food choices seemed to be Whiskas Supermeat, Kattomeat or Kit-E-Kat – all requiring the application of an antique can-opener – and primitive dried foods called Go-Cat and Munchies, supposedly linked to urinary blockage. Kittens were so routinely drowned they didn't even warrant further investigations and neutering rates were a disgrace. Even Annie, the sympathetic tortoiseshell, had been forced to have one litter (whose paternity and fate were unknown) "for her own good" before being spayed. Sam was appalled to learn that Ginge had knocked off every unspayed female in the district, some of whom were rumoured to be his own daughters.

Well, as we've got such a wonderful lot of unusual fic in the fandom, one way or the other, I thought it would be good to showcase some of those, rather than sticking to the mainstream...
