The Year of the Cat: A Cat of Feral Instincts

Edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch & Dean Wesley Smith

Make nice with cats and other creatures? Not feral cats.

Domestic cats cuddle and purr, but feral and wild cats hiss and roar and scratch. For survival.

And sometimes for nefarious motives.

In this fantastic group of ten stories, expect some dark stories, some even gruesome ones.

Unlike the other eleven volumes in this series, expect some truly dark stories, with villainous cats. Sometimes evil stalks and prowls. And sometimes it bites.

Includes:
“Cat and Mice” by Jamie McNabb
“The Undoing of Morning Glory Adolphus” by N. Margaret Campbell
“The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe
“The Story of the Brazilian Cat” by Arthur Conan Doyle
“Pride” by Mary A. Turzillo
“Five Starving Cats and A Dead Dog” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
“Cat Running Wild” by Dean Wesley Smith
“Out of Place” by Pamela Sargent
“The Destroyer” by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
“Honed, Sharp, and Ready” by Brigid Collins
