Space Cats from Space by Nicki Ivey
5.0
After stealing a peek at a friend’s copy, I bought one for myself. I love the chosen cover. This story is part romance, part comedy, and large part speculative fiction. Unless, of course, there are cats from space living among us who have far more control than we realize. (I’ve spent enough time around cats to consider that this is a possibility.) It’s an adorable story for adults who love cats. The final chapter is a rocket to heart.
The conversation with the cat in the bathroom, once she finds she can communicate with them, is hilarious and insightful.
“She would make this cup of coffee, she bargained with herself, go back to her desk, sit down, and not get back up again until she’d managed 500 words.” That’s a quote from a book that sounds like a quote from every writer I know, including myself.
One of my favorite parts:
“You wanted to turn me into some mindless drone? Some human-shaped cat puppet?”
Inky pulled his tail close to his body. “Well, not anymore,” he protested weakly.
