The Year of the Cat:
A Cat of Heroic Heart

Edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch & Dean Wesley Smith

Everyone knows dogs save people. Cats do too, in a different way.

Although cats feign an aloof detachment, they possess great heart. A cat rescue comes on its own terms and in its own time, and always with dignified heroism.

From a fantastic Midnight Louie story by Carole Nelson Douglas, where Louie meets Sherlock Holmes, to a familiar rescuing other familiars from a natural disaster, this volume showcases a broad spectrum of heroic cats.
