Oh, I love Buddy Holly, that’s so cute! He’s canon in my head now.

Heeheehee, very cute! I love the opening with Rory and the casual FaceTiming with April over the dishes, very 2017. And I particularly love that absolutely nothing in your description of the kitten even hinted at any resemblance to Buddy Holly!

I think this was so cute! I would love if you would do an add on. Maybe lorelai would train the cat to be quirky or she and Luke would treat the cat like their baby. Thanks for posting

That was cute! Luke really is a big softie, rescuing that cat! But, poor Paul Anka!

I really like this. It was cute that you have continued from the revival. I like that both daughters were trying to help.
We all know Luke is a softie, he totally would adopt that kitten. Kudos on the name. RIP Paul Anka

How cute! I love this, especially how you wrote Lorelai's reaction to the sweet present - so true to character :)

I'm not a cat person either, but kittens? Baby animals in generally , really, are so cute! Plus, buddy holly saved him.

Yes! A cat! Great minds think alike... There might be a cat in my next chapter of CoA ;-) Great name, great story. And after Paul Anka? They're such cat people! Paul Anka appropriates cat culture. Saw that on a shirt on twitter... Now I have to google what the couch in the revival looked like that it deserves complete destruction through a cat's claws!

Sweet!

Buddy Holly would make me happy for my birthday! Very cute and so VERY Luke.

This story was so sweet. Just picturing masculine Luke holding a kitten is adorable.

This is soooooo sweet. I like how you included both, Rory and April, giving Luke advice. Gosh, I laughed so hard when April suggested all the things she would want to do. I like you head-canon of Rory moving into the apartment over the diner. So, sad though that Paul-Anka had passed away, but I guess he had a long happy life and it was time for Lorelai and Luke to move on and get another pet to care for.

Cute! And that's exactly what Lorelai would name a cat!

I was very curious about the title of the story and was wondering how Buddy Holly would come to fit in. Perfect! Love that the story was post-AYITL era too!

perfect, especially to a person who got her first reading glasses, prescription no less, this year ... sigh... also, I am forever being found by strays, including injured lizards, so I loved how they were adopted!
