J.D. Robb discussion

Roarke gives me chills (good ones) and makes me warm inside all at the same time! So sweet and yet so strong and protective. Ahhhhhh......Sorry, got carried away - this is Galahad's thread! lol

I had a cat a few years ago named Whiskers and he would either sleep on my butt or my chest depending on whether I was on my back or belly sleeping.

Sounds like Galahad!

I'm a dog person...never cared much for cats. But now we have one...a stray cat appeared on my porch one day about 3 months ago and just refused to leave. My basset hound, who has always chased any cat that dared to enter our yard, got after him the first time he saw the cat and, instead of running, the cat stood his ground and swatted Fred's nose. They've been thick as thieves ever since. Fred will lay down beside the cat on the porch and they rub noses and everything. So...needless to say, I bought cat food and let the cat stay. Sometimes, pets choose you - you don't choose the pets.

Awwwwwww! That's soooo sweet!!

Oh, what a wonderful story!

I think they should get a dog just to upset him...

Just have to mention one of my favorite Gallahad scenes which occurs in Calculated in Death. Eve comes in after having another "cat" rub all over her, Gallahad gets a whiff & turns away, giving Eve the cold shoulder the rest of the night. The next morning, Eve feeds Gallahad bacon in an effort to make amends. Love this scene.

Also love Roarke telling Eve that if she ever comes home with the scent of another man rubbed all over her, bits of bacon will not be enough to make amends with him! ;)

The best Galahad moment for me is in NewYork To Dallas when he and Dr. Mira have come to Dallas to comfort Eve. The compassion he shows is just what cats are good for. Also the way he warned her that Isaac was in her office was a good one.

That's a great scene too, Carol. And I know Roarke melted my heart by understanding & having Galahad brought to Dallas to comfort Eve & give her a touch of home.

I agree about Roarke.

Let's share some of our favorite Gallahad scenes! Out of all the In Death books you've read, which Gallahad scenes do you love best of all?

When Roarke comes into bedroom and he is asleep on Eve's butt.....

I love the interaction between Roarke and Galahad at breakfast. "We've talked about this..."

Oh yeah! Both are good ones!

I love all those breakfast scenes. I especially like those where he's acting as Eve's sentry when she's had a rough night while Roarke's away.

Galahad is just like my cat. She either ignores me when I leave or she chews me out. She also sleeps on my butt

My kitty sleeps between my chest and my torso.

This sounds like Galahad to me!

Cats are like ghosts. They live with us, but they have their own secretive agendas. Cats are uncanny. They can be provoking, but also glamorous. They seem to know things. They seem slightly out of time. We project emotion onto them, they love us inscrutably, if at all. They have a keen sense of retribution. Cats see us and judge us.

So, cat people out there: what do you think? True? False?

True

I'm not a cat person and i believe it's true.

I'm not a cat person either so I really have no idea. But cats seem very finicky & picky to me...just my perception. :)

I'm not a cat person. But my neighbor has 3... and depending on the cat they seem aloof and a little smug. Though she has one that has decided that she is the welcome wagon for the neighborhood.

Wow totally wrote that incorrectly

My avi shows that I am a cat person and Galahad is my third favourite character (after Roarke and Eve of course).

One of my favorite Galahad scenes is in Glory where Roarke tells Eve he wants "those people" out of their house and he tells her how he found Galahad hiding under their bed covered in bows and stickers.

My favorite Galahad scene is in New York to Dallas when Eve first realizes he's there. The comfort he gives Eve shows the unconditional love he has for her.

He's always there for her. He knows what's she's feeling and when she just needs the simple comfort. Dallas is so lucky to have him. Her life before Roark and Galahad was so bleak.

I think Galahad owns equal share of Eve's, Roarke's and Summerset's hearts. He also has them all under his paw when it comes to feeding him.
When discussions of the size of the house come up I always wonder how many litter boxes they have. Do they have a litter box droid for scoop duty or self cleaning litter boxes?
I also look forward to Galahad's portion of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Love the cat!
