Space, the final scratching post?
So HERE’s the Essex lion!
I think che Besc of fricz Leiber should get the ‘font problems’ tag.
“Sorry, sir. I had just finished painting the spaceship, but then my cat jumped up and shredded it.”
“Hmmm. Maybe we can work that in.”
Wasn’t this a Goodies sketch?
When Kzinti dream…
Oh, come on, Fritz Leiber, “Space-Time for Springers”

What else should you put on the cover?
Revenge of the Cat People
Part II — they catch and play with the human diplomats like mice, then bury their remains in the giant litterbox.
And then came the uncanny moment when a REAL cat scratched the book cover in the same spot as the image showed…
Did you not hear me correctly? I said I wanted to see more cat people on this cover! Let me scratch out the part that I don’t like…
Behold my fossilized poop!
Let us paws and reflect on the work of Fritz Leiber.
I was thinking it might be “Ship of Shadows”, which has a cat in outer space, but could also be “Space-time for Springers”. Fritz liked kitties, but they always appeared as cats, not cat-people.
