Cosmic Cats & Fantastic Furballs: Fantasy and Science Fiction Stories with Cats

Cosmic Cats & Fantastic Furballs: Fantasy and Science Fiction Stories with Cats

Curl up with a cat and a book. A full litter of stories—science fiction, fantasy, and mystery—all cats, every page.

A dying pet gets a new life through cybernetics—but will his humans accept a robocat?

Defrosted kittens run amok.

Chocolate kitties from Mars change from delicious treats to something a little different.

A Siamese detective fingers—or paws—a burglar. An alien furball lands on a cat-hater’s doorstop.

A kitten’s gift to the Christ child gets rejected, but that’s not the end of this cat’s journey.

A sphynx pussyfoots through a wormhole and finds his soulmate on the other side, narrowly escaping death.

A fisherman crosses a tiger kami and is transformed into a legend.

Angels dye a kitten purple and give it wings, but even those enhancements do not serve it well when it plunges to Earth in the path of a speeding eighteen wheeler.

And, in a Nebula nominated story, an extinct cat is revived from ancient fossil material and innocently rampages through a rural Ohio township.

A fun page-turner for fans of felines!
