Talking cats, psychic cats, transformed cats, mutant cats, ghost cats, demon cats and even a werecat slink through the pages of this comprehensive anthology. There are old acquaintances like ""Puss In Boots"" and the ""King of the Cats"" (in a traditional version and Stephen Vincent Benet's retelling) and delightful newcomers like Cordwainer Smith's Lady May who hunts space rats and Lewis Padgett's Meg who stalks larger game. Even felinophobes will appreciate the high quality and fanciful cat fanciers will purr.
