Res Auburn is a recurring character in Housepets!. He was introduced in Hope of the Pridelands.

He is the secret author of the popular Pridelands book series, which he writes under his owner Miss Auburn's name.

Personality[]

Res is a timid, anxious Maine Coon who was a stray for two years before he was adopted by his current owner, Miss Auburn. While Res finds it difficult to make friends, he has stupendous writing skills. In fact, Res is the author of the enormously popular fictional series, Pridelands, but he is too shy to take credit for it so he lets his owner take the credit as the author. However, after befriending Grape, Res becomes more confident in himself and his work, allowing him to overcome the insecurities of writing the final book.

General Information[]

On Christmas Eve, Res and Miss Auburn come to the Three-Squares Mall for a book signing. Off by himself typing on his laptop while his owner holds the spotlight, Res encounters Grape who mistakes him for just another cat writing fan-fiction. When she learns the truth that Res actually writes the books, Grape mistakenly assumes that Miss Auburn is exploiting and abusing him. Res tries to correct her, but Grape storms off to give his mom "a piece of my irrational anger." Her apparent outburst only gets Grape physically chucked off the premises while her companions, Jill Sandwich and Maxwell, also have to leave. Humiliated and anguished, she laments ruining her chance to become best friends with Res and, when Maxwell anxiously seeks reassurance that he and Grape remain "best friends", she furiously threatens to stab him with a candy cane. Later at home, Peanut comforts a still mourning Grape when Maxwell shows up. He gives Grape a letter Res had stuck in Maxwell's Pridelands book. In his letter, Res tells Grape that he and Miss Auburn have a good relationship, that he forgives her for her "over-zealousness," and that he wants very much to be pals. ... phone number included. Grape weeps, Max gets an embrace, and Peanut is moved to a Christmas "group hug" to celebrate Res becoming part of their circle.

He reappeared in Housepets Babies! where he visited the Sandwich household, and Peanut told him about Grape's past. He mistakenly upsets Grape when he comments about her fondness for dogs and later comforts her by saying he really likes her for who she is.

By Temple Crashers 2: Temple Crashers, he has started work on the seventh and seemingly final Pridelands book, The End of the Pridelands, but soon the pressure gets to him and he goes on a vacation to Babylon Gardens due to writer's block. He confides in Grape that his mental block has come from the crushing expectations and the mistakes he has made in past entries. He joins Peanut, Grape and Max on a journey into the temple (which he believes is a live action role play) and is turned into a were-tiger. During Temple Crashers 2: Final Crashers, Res is encouraged by Kitsune to aid Tarot in fighting The Forgotten. Using the mana, Res grows to an enormous size and is able to reseal the gateway to Pandemonium after destroying the Forgotten. He later confesses to Grape that while he had "nigh-unlimited power" he wrote the final Pridelands book in his head. When he sneezes he temporarily shifts back into his were-tiger form, revealing that he retained a certain amount of power even after leaving the temple.
