I've read this last month. It was a fun idea and I guess it especially sits well with you if (view spoiler)

Well that was quick.I absolutely loved this one. Fun, hilarious, well written. And yes, that POV and everything about it is wonderful.
Yay for cattitude! Very fun POV indeed.
LOL yeah the kitten & its name were awesome
The cover is great. But what color is "spilled whale oil before a match is struck?" I'm not a huge fan of random metaphorical descriptions, esp. in short stories.But that's just a small nit, the only one I see to pick. Mostly the story is enchanting. Thank you for posting.
Yellow... Golden... ish? I don't really pay attention to metaphors, I guess.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
You all sucked me in and kept me up! Shakes fist.

Well, well, I normally never look at Goodreads recommendation part of my screen, but it is now showing this The Cat Who Walked a Thousand Miles, a short story by Kij Johnson. Usually GR recs are very random, but this time it might hit the spot.
I enjoyed that one a lot!

We'll be reading this novelette throughout February. Post comments and use spoiler tags when necessary.
I read a story from her once: The War of Light and Shadow, in Five Dishes, which I quite liked.
