Synopsis

Not your grandmother's cat stories...

FROM A CAT'S VIEW (book one) has 18 stories told by the cats who lived them, and written by amazing authors throughout the U.S., U.K., and Canada.

THE CEMETERY CAT - A cat for each grave--three-hundred forty-seven in all--and one had unfinished business.

SPECIAL - Family is... well, family. Maxie is special, and only Aunt 'Po can lift him from the gutter to the good life.

TISHY - Some cats are talented. Some cats are unnaturally talented. But Tishy outdid herself the day she brought home Quintus Liberalis.

INTREPIDUS - It wasn't the first time he'd made her feel alone and unloved. The breach between cat and human can be insurmountable.

WITCH CAT - Her kind are on the way out, but Old Gert isn't one to go quietly. She knew just what to do: Cheat. "Here kitty, kitty."

MAU OF THE PHARAOHS - Favored by Tutankhamun, Mau, in exchange for safe passage to the next world, offers Bastet his life story as viewed from the laps of three pharaohs.

BIG EARS - A plague curses the village of Culloden and beyond. The superstitious humans have condemned their only chance for salvation.

NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT - Freedom is only as good as the next pilfered salmon fillet. Atticus prospered, now it was time to level up.

THE OPEN ROAD - Most shun the solitary life; a few seek it. Quicksilver, ship's cat by profession, was in the latter group.

MULGRAVE'S RESOLVE - Endurance, boredom, hunger, anger, reward: Mr. Mulgrave conquered the milestones on the road to survival one at a time, alone.

THE CAT'S APPRENTICE - Change is bad; being ignored is unacceptable. No one was putting Malcolm in a corner--certainly not this interloper wizard-wannabe.

STRAY CAT STRUT - The street's no place for Manhattan lovelies with names like Princess. Leo never expected to be sought out by a damsel in distress. But Tig sent her, and Leo owes Tig a favor.

SAVANNAH AND SAVANNAH - If you find a lost cat with your name on its collar it's meant to be... right? What if it really is meant to be? Think about it.

THE REAL THING - Locked in a vending machine, Leon's stomach rumbled. He could hear his little girl calling him home.

THIRD EYE LIVING - All cats have nine lives, but only the bravest have three eyes. When Mr. Fluffers' mother warned him about fairies, she failed to mention their pointy spears, sharp teeth, and evil grins.

THE STRAY - I kill to eat and to feed the big pink one that cannot hunt. There are fences with barbwire and smoke that burns the eyes and throat. Still, there is love.

TIN OPENER - Justice arrives on the heels of the reaper. When Jasper's tin opener is murdered, he uses his knowledge of the occult to summon help.

CATS ARE PATIENT - Six thousand years of plotting threatened by one, weak human. Not once, in the long history of the Ailurian, had they found it necessary to dispose of a human... until now.

Review:

Our best lives are lived when we allow ourselves to view the world through differing perspectives. Robin Praytor and her cadre of talented authors provide a glimpse through one such perspective--that of a cat. With tales of joy, sadness, mystery, and suspense, each story will have you turning the page to see what comes next. Reading gives us the chance to learn new things, or it can whisk us away to places where we can forget the persistent drumbeat of everyday life.
     From a Cat's View offers the reader both: It teaches us compassion for our four-legged feline friends by letting us see things from their unique perspective while entertaining us with a mixed genre of short stories and poems. 
     Prepare to be transported into the realm in which cats live, to have your heartstrings tugged, and above all, be ready to live your best life as you add a new view of the world to your repertoire.  -Kara Piazza, Writing Piazza Press
