This Saturday's release - our LAST Saturday release, as we're switching to a different schedule in June, marking the end of a short story series that has seen us release more than 40 titles since October - is an innocuous-looking story of a meeting of some rather unusual cats...and an incisive piece of political commentary on many of our current issues with demagoguery!

Old Whiskers, distinguished cat of stature, has called a meeting of the cats of the alley with a simple goal: convince them of the necessity of rebelling against humanity. Sure, the humans scoop the litter boxes and provide pets, but that doesn't excuse their heinous crimes!

“Fluffer Nutter, were you not asked to exit your own house to relieve yourself in the streets like some low-bred rapscallion!” “It’s true, I was, boss…”
“Aha!”
“Wait… how did he know that…?”
Old Whiskers then turned to Mrs. Furball, a house cat who was as agreeable as she was aloof.
“And Mrs. Furball, wasn’t Mr. Furball’s masculinity so cruelly stripped from him when he was but a young tomcat?”

What he doesn't expect is that anyone will try to resist his call to action...

Old Whiskers lashed out, yowling at them and stomping his legs—then he promptly turned back to Little Tugger. “And because we are an eleemosynary organization, I have decided to make you an offer…”
“I—” Little Tugger interrupted.
“If you behave yourself, I’m prepared to offer you a position in our organization.”
“And what would this position be, might I ask?” Little Tugger tapped his paw impatiently.
“You, Little Tugger, will be appointed the leader of the opposition in our fledgling enterprise.”

An Odd Gathering of Peculiar Cats by J. D. Harlock is thoughtful and thought-provoking, and you're not gonna want to miss it!
