Talk:The Alchymist's Cat

Who is there?

I've been working on this article for the past hour. Is there a problem? Rissa (talk) 18:23, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Excellent -- thanks for the information at the beginning! I've cleaned this article up but it would much better with details from someone who has read the book. I am therefore bowing out. Rissa (talk)

Date?

Could the expected or approximate dates for the movie be given? Looking at it now I can't tell if it's already been released but the article hasn't been updated, or if the release date is sometime in the future. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 03:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Framed for murder

>Will Godwin, a young boy, is forced to work for the evil apothecary Dr. Elias Theophrastus Spittle after he frames Will for murder.

What murder is he framed for and why? Rissa (talk) 17:25, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Close Call

>"Following a close call, he finds a family of cats in ...."

What is the close call? And how is it related to finding the cats? Rissa, copy editor (talk) 03:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

"One"

>The mother cat is named Imelza; the father is nowhere in sight. Soon after Will persuades Spittle, who is searching for a way to become immortal, to take one of them as a familiar.

"One" refers back to Imelza and the unnamed father cat -- which I don't think is what is meant here. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 03:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Magic Arts

> The kittens are thereafter named Jupiter, Dab and Leech. Jupiter is trained in the magic arts,

Does this mean Jupiter became the familiar? This needs to be much clearer. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 04:04, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Why were Imelza and Dab attacked?

>A plague spreads through London causing many people to become sick and die. Imelza and Dab escape from Spittle, but Imelza is beaten to death by a mob

Were they attacked because people thought cats were spreading the plague? This needs a few words of explanation. Rissa (talk) 17:46, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
