Frank Comments: For some reason I find it difficult to focus on the title text. I wonder if that’s to keep me focused on the cover art?

The book included a CD with 25 songs inspired by the book. A quick youtube reveals… GENIUS!

Enjoying the Industrials under-tones!

He may have saved Silicon Valley, but he couldn’t find a pair of trousers.

That cover is gorgeous. It makes me want to frolic through a field. Wearing just a waistcoat.

Please tell me that’s his left paw. Please tell me that his penile sheath does not extend past his navel.

Andrew Lloyd Webber joins forces with Michael Flatley for “Cats 2, saving silicon valley!”

Spoiler Alert!
Libra saved Silicon Valley by walking over a keyboard just as a disgruntled Microsoft coder was about to unleash a devastating computer virus… and stepped on Delete.

The terrifying results of Michael Jackson’s experiments with teleports and pets.
(Although the song’s better than anything he did after ‘Bad’. And I’m willing to bet that the plot beats ‘Captain Eo’)

I wish Eric Flint had written/edited this masterpiece – it surely deserves the Baen treatment!

Please tell me this is part of a series of astrological genius.

Are all UFOs filled with urine?

Well it’s obvious why he/she isn’t wearing pants. With a torso that long he/she would have to wear a cummerbund, sash, and belt to cover the gap between the pants and waistcoat. And everyone knows cats are notoriously bad when it comes to accessorizing .

@FoM: Pssh, tell that to THIS GUY.

A story about a cat who gives a damn about humans and helps them out. Science Fiction that pushes The Limits Of the Imaginatiooonn…
April 16th, 2015 at 4:50 am
@Tom Noir-I stand somewhat corrected. Accessorized yes. Fashionably so? Questionable. Fashion… turn to the left!

I’d buy this just for the cover and title.
April 16th, 2015 at 11:23 pm
Well, they say most cats are colorblind…

“Karl is offered a job by a manageress at Hotel Occidental. He works there as a lift-boy. One day Robinson shows up drunk at his work asking him for money. Afraid of losing his job being seen talking with a friend, which is forbidden for lift-boys, Karl agrees to lend him money, then turns into a cat.”

Vincent begins a painting he plans to call “Starry Night,” then the absinthe kicks in.

I didn’t know Silicon Valley needed saving, but glad bellboy cat could help.
February 15th, 2018 at 3:49 am
I’m not sure where Bellhop Cat was standing, because that doesn’t look like Silicon Valley in topography or flora.
I can haz telekinetic powerz from other locashunz?

The castle-like structure in the background has a roof shaped like a cat’s lower teeth. Nice touch.

Sargeant Friskies Lonely Hearts Band. (Yes, it is new Years eve and I am a bit drunk, why do you ask?)

The cat would be more impressive if it had brought affordable housing to Silicon Valley.
January 2nd, 2024 at 3:09 am
@fred: Very much yes (I live nearish there and am glad of a windfall in one of the bust periods, so that Mr. xn and I were able to buy then).
Or it could save SV now if it gave Elon Musk rabies so he’d act…
Hey, wait a minute…!
This is vanity publishing at its vanity-est. I bet the authors owned a long black cat which inspired the book and the CD, and they need to get out more.
