Ahoy there me mateys! So after writing me second reflections of hunter, I was in the mood for some more of Mercedes Lackey’s work. So I decided to buy and read one of her short story collections that I have had me eye on for a long time. The topic – intelligent cats in space! Of course, I kinda have a thing for ships and cats and ship cats most of all. Yup exactly what I was in the mood for.

The collection contains four short stories about human, Dick White, and his friend the telepathic ship cat named Skitty. I loved that humans had engineered intelligent cats for pest control and partnership and yet they still were cats . . . unpredictable, stubborn, choosy, and lovable. Spoiled too.

These stories are very fluffy and somewhat predictable but I absolutely adored them all. As usual Lackey’s world-building and characters are fun. The only major complaint I have is that I would like a full length novel about the further adventures of Skitty and White. The stories went by too quickly. Super short collection but worth me coin. Arrrrrr!
