OH bummer I made a post that I think got lost and it was a couple days ago and now I'm not sure if I put it in another thread!!!!!
Ok totally ignore me if I've posted this elsewhere and am crazy.......
A few people have mentioned/speculated on whether there's any connection between those drowned kittens washed up on the beach on Others Island AND the fact that Thick dreams of himself as a drowned/drowning kitten on the boat to Aslevjal (oh dear too lazy to check the spelling)
SO anyhoo I just had to ask Robin on her newsgroup about this one. (sort of suspecting it was something that was just a coincedence or something with no hidden meaning) BUT she indicated oooooh there might well have been something to that!!!!! But the thing is, she may never write any more books continuing that story (as she has said on her blog) ........ BUT then again she didn't reveal to me what the meaning of the connection IS so that says to me there is SOME hope she may write on this one day .....(or am I clutching at straws?)
Anyway, speculate away fans!
The only thing I can think of right now - as I'm sure has been mentioned somewhere by someone sometime - the Others may be frightened of cats due to some prophecy about them coming unstuck in some way in relation to a cat or cats. So maybe something to do with Thick will be their undoing......
Ok something else - maybe some significance to the timing of WHEN he dreamed that .... there may be another island on the way between Buck and the Outislands that is also a possible (or past) dragon hatching island.... erm but I can't say why kitten symbolism = dragon hatching island...... cats were the protectors of the dragon hatching grounds and Others killed them to capture SWR !!!! hmmmmm nope.
