Snowflake challenge #2: Pets of fandom

[elennalore]

I'm already behind in these snowflake prompts, and I was already thinking about skipping this one because when I think of pets in the Silmarillion fandom, Huan comes in mind at first, and I don't really have much to say about Huan. He's the goodest boy, of course, but I'm more like a cat person, and in Tolkien's world, cats were not much appreciated.
Tolkien wasn't a cat person for sure.
But there is fanfic.

I love Aipilosse's What Brings Us Together where Sauron returns to Valinor as a cat who becomes of course Celebrimbor's pet before he remembers his past. Of course, the story only goes on from there, but there's this cute pet part, too.

Huh, I've never noticed it before. Now that you've pointed it out, it's more obvious.

I knew that Tolkien was no fan of spiders. He was bitten by one when he was a child, was he not?
