Some of the works in this anthology are fine; some, including those by the editors, veer into seeming radfem-y. The works I think are worth reading are:
- "Cats Call No One Mistress" by Pamela Roth Schwartz
- "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Car" by Leslea Newman
- "Remembering AA-OOOO-GA!" by Jodi
- "Paw Prints" by Pamela Gray
- "My Step-Cats and I" by Wendy Caster
- "Grey Day" by Mary-Elizabeth Garcia
- "Sometimes I Wonder if You Want to Hear This: Life at an Animal Shelter" by Kat Brown
Content Warnings
Graphic: Vomit, Ableism, Lesbophobia, Rape, Animal death, Hate crime, Violence, Homophobia, and Misogyny

Read it for a book club. I'm a cat-owning lesbian but wow these people a generation older than I am totally lived on a different planet. The last piece compares cats living in human homes to slavery (yikes!!!) and torture. Tell that to my very spoiled rescue cat who lives a chill life, hunts bugs in our home, and is not exploited for labour against his will. I'd much rather he be in my house than on the street, killing native wildlife.
