You are welcome to join the Fellowship of Fantasy Group or the Fellowship of Fantasy Book Club group on Facebook. We are a jovial group, though we do tend to talk about dragons and fairies more than cats. In the book club, a fantasy book is selected and discussed each month.
My favorite stories in this anthology were "Whisker Width" with its magically traveling cat (so much easier than all the transfer technology I have in my books), "Black Knight" with a delightful take on how our cats may see themselves, and "The Honorable Retrieval of Miss Sunbeam Honeydew." One of the shorter stories, "Death Always Collects," had a much darker theme than the others, but it certainly held cats in the honor we cat lovers know they deserve.
You can try to win a free copy of the book if you participate in this Rafflecopter giveaway.
And since we are being all about cat love, here's a fun video from my favorite cat blog:
Cole and Marmalade!
Based on this video, my cats most certainly love me, though I wish they didn't feel the need to love bite quite so much. Cheetara is famous for that. Try to nose bop her with a finger when she's feeling feisty, and she will give it a chomp every time. Her way of saying "Got ya!" She likes to attack my feet at night too.

Loved the video! But I hate being groomed by my cat. My youngest girl kitty, Tweetie Paws, is the only one who does it, and I always tell her to stop. Guess I should stop saying that, because I want her to keep loving me as much as I love her.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great anthology! Thanks for hosting on your blog.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Maybe just let Tweetie Paws groom you a tiny bit. <3 Mine only really do that when I put lotion on. They either love lotion or are trying to rid me of it. Who knows with cats!
