Cats in Space...and Other Places

Cats in Space...and Other Places

C.J. Cherryh
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Space. The feline frontier.
It has been said that "if man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat." In this volume we explore the many and manifest reasons why humans should voluntarily accord first place in space to their feline brethren. From Robert A. Heinlein's "Ordeal in Space" in which the merest kitten confers the gift of courage on his human, to Cordwainer Smith's "Ballad of the Lost C'mell," which answers the very question of what would be the outcome of the melding of human and cat, we offer here 16 reasons why cats are Number One in our book.
