"My hobbit" ;-) So, every cat has a hobbit of his or her own, I believe? Well, I would like to be a cat, then :) I enjoyed reading your "Wanderer" stories very much, and I like the idea of a chess playing cat. I certainly can understand how Wanderer feels. I remember a day when I won a game against my brother - not chess. He asked for a revenge and brought out the chess board. And he won, as he does always with chess! Very good strategy to avoid losing, though. Always play the game you're best at ;-) Author Reply: Yes, indeed, every cat must have their own hobbit to be happy, wouldn't you say? being a cat would be fun in the Shire, plus you'd get pretty good food! I'm glad you like these! *heh* Well, chess wouldn't be my game if I were to play what I'm best at! That sounds like something my brother would do! lol! God bless, Ellie | |

Having actually won games on occasion against better players who failed to look far enough ahead on days when my tendency toward ADHD was more under control, I appreciate how Frodo feels as well as Wanderer's confusion. And Sam is bewildered, but willing to appreciate almost anything of his Master and his Master's cat. Author Reply: Yeah! I've never won a chess game unless my opponent was distracted. I'm really bad at it! Sam is definately confused by this cat, don't you think? God bless, Ellie | |

Yes, a cat who plays chess. One correction--break rather than brake when referring to possibly damaging pieces with his paws and claws. Otherwise perfect. Author Reply: My friend has a cat who tried to play chess! Ooh, I keep mixing up words like that! Thanks for pointing it out! God bless, Ellie | |

Yes, this cat appreciates what the househobbits say to him. Sam should begin realizing. Author Reply: He understands and pays attention, smart cat! Thanks for reviewing! God bless, Ellie | |

Wanderer is a lovely companion for Frodo... and I have no doubt he would beat *me* at chess! :D Author Reply: I'm sure he'd beat me too! I really like chess, but I'm SOOO bad at it! :) God bless, Ellie | |

My hobbit ... Lucky cat. I'm not a cat person, but I'm glad to see that Frodo has such a wonderful little creature to cuddle with and one that tries to take very good care of him as well. Very endearing piece! ~Elemmírë~ Author Reply: Thank you! He is a very lucky cat, isnt' he? God bless, Ellie | |
