"My first association with pet animals was with a dog instead of any cat, an excitable little fox terrier named Paddy, provided for me by my parents on the traditional principle that a boy ought to have a dog. . . . The relationship between me and Paddy was formal and somewhat distant. Later on, my parents and I got given a kitten. . . . This was more to my taste. . . . My imagination worked better around her." - Fritz Leiber
And so it did. For Fritz Leiber there is a feline kinship (of the sort lovers of cats know intimately), a kinship so strong, an understanding so deep that one could believe him to have walked once on four paws, tail flicking in the moonlight.
Here is a collection of extraordinary tales of catdom told only as Fritz could tell them. Many autobiographical in nature, all reflecting the powerful imagination for which he is famous, these ten stories span five decades of award-winning writing.
Enter the world of Miss Skipsy, "Old Horsemeat" and "Kitty-Come-Here" (the human parents of Gummitch and friends). Meet Psycho and Scarface and The Mad Eunuch, Cleopatra and Ashurbanipal, Fatima and Kim AKA "The Bump." Cavort with witches, spring into extraterrestrial adventure - enter the world of Fritz's cats.
