Description

Sharp Claws, sticky paws.

Elise and her siblings are perfectly normal denizens of New Oxford's undercity.They live in squalor, sleeping in the dump and stealing what food they can to get by. It's been hard for them since their parents died, but Elise does her best to hold them together despite her faulty memory and their difference in species.

What's that? They stole your watch? It couldn't be, those little fur balls are angels!

It's your hat now? Well, Chip does have a soft spot for those. Can't he have it?

Wait, what?! Elise is ripping aliens apart with her bare hands? But she's such a quiet girl...

I'm sorry... I think I misheard you... how many raccoons?

What to expect:

-A Stray Cat Strut fanfiction based in the UK in late 2032. I'm going to try my best not to be too outrageous, but I make no promises to stick to canon.

-Raccoon's doing raccoon things. Like drugs! And... cloning?

-Alien killing.

-Girls kissing.

-Gender gendering.

-And yet another Samurai pushed towards the cruel world of animalgirlification!

The cover is drawn by me! (be nice)Also, the gender stuff while important will be dealt with pretty quickly. I'm writing this story because I wanted to write cute fluff!We're not dwelling on dysphoria for long.Posted here and on ScribbleHub.Currently on hiatus while I work on other projects.

    I really love this. I wasn't expecting much out of a raccoon story, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The writing is excellent, there's excitement, and you really get hooked right away.
    I really liked that it's in first person and the urgency of it all.
    Well done!

    This is the best Stray Cat Strut spin off I've read and I was smiling and laughing the entire time.  Plenty of chaos and everything to love. The Raccoon bio warfare and genetic manipulation was great but the best is family ties
    The current ending is satisfying enough to be content but with plenty to want more.  Even if the author doesn't continue (which I hope they do) you won't be left in a frustrating cliffhanger.
    If possible I would rate this ten out of five. 🦝

    A very fun main character and story. One of the less canon fanfics as far as MCs strength vs the antis goes but not in a bad way. Writing and editing quality is great.
    I don't have much else to say but this thing requires fifty words. This is fifty.

    If you like other SCS fan fics, also like racoons, and chaos gremlins. Then this is 100% a story you’ll like. Character is cute as heck, with her little trash panda pets/siblings and her other bits and bobs she acquires. Story is well written, and engaging. Definitely keeps me interested and immersed. I’m having loads of fun reading the chapters as they come out, worst part is getting to the end and seeing that there isnt another chapter yet.

    This is yet another great story set in the Stray Cay universe! I find the protagonist amusing and easy to understand and sympathize with, even if there are some things about her with which I cannot relate. I adore her siblings and how she relates to them. While there are a (very) few grammatical errors here and there, such as missing commas, it's also quite well written from a technical standpoint, as far as I'm able to tell, making it an easy read atop being such a *good* read.
    I find myself wanting to binge-read more, and having to sadly put it temporarily down after writing this review. I wants more! :)

    Very fun read, a fun perspective on the SCS world, I really love the interactions between the little demon siblings (raccoons).
    Raccoon fun fact: Raccoons rely heavily on their sense of touch; the nerve endings in their paws are highly sensitive, helping them understand what they are holding.
    Worth the read

    Family always helps. Especially when they are Raccoons.  Little blighters get in everywhere and no trash is safe. I should know, I am one too. ^_^ But seriously, wholesome family dynamic with raccoons is off the wall and amazing. The story starts out with a heist, one of my favorite crime genera tropes. It doesn't do the "quick shift into an incursion" thing a lot do. Having some great setting bits start us out, before a slightly more gradual transition to the incursion. From there, well, let the fur fly? ^_^ I mean we just had a ballistic use of a raccoon last chapter... :3

    Unconventional might be a better term. We have a person who through trauma has tightly bonded with a group of Raccoons. To the point that they don't seem to think they are human anymore.
    This is the Stray Cat universe, which is a gritty, dystopian future where people can be ‘upgraded’ with an Alien A.I. in their heads.
    Style is first person. The story is a slice of life, progression story where the MC learns how not only to become powerful enough to survive battling the Antithesis (the enemy) but to modify their body to become someone they can be comfortable being.
    Grammar so far is good. Characters, however need a bit of work. While the MC is good, the side characters are a bit flat. I can see that situation improving as the story progresses.
