    [Hopefully Helpful] Feedback: Okay. I'm super glad that you're making another chapter. Like, you have no idea. I was freaking out that this may be the last one until I read the end note. I think the song idea may be tricky to pull off, depending on how you initiate that scene. A lot of people don't specifically sing to dogs to begin with. It's more like... they happen to be singing a certain kind of song (maybe they're sad, or they're doing chores, or they're happy, etc), and if they're lucky the dog will respond to the singing (calming down, lying down, wagging its tail, barking along, etc.) Then the person finishes the song singing it with/to the dog.

    I think any of these songs could work well. They're all really well chosen (bonus kudos!) Whatever song you choose, I think you should pick out lyrics that would specifically apply to Cat. Anyway, each song has unique strengths.

    "Heroes" by Alesso: Best to use this song in a scene where Kara just had a stressful day or was recently feeling down.

    "Waiting for Superman" by Daughtry: I think this would work best during a night scene.

    "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth: This seems most versatile. I think it would work in any situation. Maybe she starts singing it to a picture of Cat, then directs her attention to Ellie? This is probably your safest bet.

    I really look forward to your next chapter!

      Thanks for the ideas! I'll keep them in mind. The idea is that there's music playing and the song comes on. Kara starts singing and Ellie is there, so Kara just like picks her up and keeps singing. I'm trying not to give the whole plot away, but that's the scene.

        I'm just glad that you already started planning it! I'm eagerly waiting for it to be completed! (If you need someone to beta it or any other Supercat fanfic, feel free to let me know. I would be happy to do it!)

              Okay I just had to tell you - I heard "One Call Away" a few times this week and again today. And each time I heard the song I thought of your Supercat "Puppy" fanfics! Idk if that's crazy, but I just think of how they have this puppy and how cute they would be as a family, and I just get really happy because your fics are so great and fluffy and wonderful.

              Needless to say, I'm really excited for the next part!

                Thank you so much! The next one has gone a bit differently then I originally planned, but it's better now I think. I'm just working on the ending and then it'll be up. I had a friend look over it real quick, because I was in a rush to get this done as my new job has been tiring me out, though I do appreciate the offer! If I wouldn't have procrastinated and had given myself enough time I would have definitely taken you up on it. I like having a few people look over my writing to spot the errors I missed. But I promise you won't have to wait too much longer!
