Celta Cats Read online

  “Good, good,” the guy said.

  “I can show you alder trees in the GreatGreensward if you like. Perhaps we’ve harvested wood. Very good for whistles and pipes, if you’re musical.”

  A sweet smile graced the face of the Alder. “I’m not, but my daughter is. She and her husband came, too. They convinced us to buy into the project. They’ll like the name, ‘Alder.’”

  “I’d like to see the GreatGreensward, too,” Apple said. “In fact, I wanted to see that a whole lot more than come to this meeting.”

  Everyone else stood.

  FatherDam Chloe said, “Randy, why don’t you lead our friends on a tour of the GreatGreensward?”

  She spoke to him like he hadn’t become an adult the last month, more, like he hadn’t reached his tenth Nameday.

  With a brief nod to FatherDam Chloe, Randolph kept the doors open as everyone filed out, Captain Lady first, patting Randolph on the shoulder, then Apple and Alder the last of the colonists.

  Merry meet and merry part and may we merrily meet again.

  About the Author

  RITA® Award-winning author Robin D. Owens has been writing longer than she cares to recall. Her fantasy/futuristic romances found a home at Berkley with the issuance of HeartMate in December 2001. She credits the "telepathic cat with attitude" in selling that book. Currently, she has two domesticated cats (who have appeared in her stories).

  She loves writing fantasy with romance or romance with fantasy, and particularly likes adding quirky characters for comic relief and leaving little threads dangling from book to book to see if readers pick up on them (usually, yes! Reader intelligence is awesome!).

  Robin spends too much time on Facebook (see link below), loves hearing from readers, tries her best to respond to any questions and has been known to take reader advice for her work.When she receives good reviews or fan mail, she’s been known to dance around bored cats…

  Celta Cats Cover Copy

  Smart Cats know what they want. And on the world of Celta, they are very smart. They can be Familiar Animal companions, bonded with a person.

  These stories are seen from the cat’s very own eyes, and are six never before published Cat Stories, including the first Top Cat of Celta, Peaches; as well as a trio of stories about that favorite Fam, Zanth.

  Peaches Arrives on Celta, Plenty of problems for Peaches to fix: challenges to his status; people lying about Peaches’ human companion and Peaches himself; Grandma’s acting mean...and there’s that very real concern that the Ship just might not land safely, fear he must overcome…

  Zanth Gets His Boy, Zanth’s meeting with a noble boy running from evil people changes both their lives in ways he couldn’t imagine

  Pinky Becomes A Fam, Pinky is a smart enough cat to know that there is a difference from being a regular cat and a Familiar Companion Cat, and bonding better with his boy. He’s determined to make the leap from cat to Fam, but didn’t realize exactly what that meant…

  Zanth Claims Treasure, Yes, the southern estate smells great, even better smelling is the glass orb full of magic that he finds, and will fight to keep…

  Baccat Chooses His Person, Life on the streets in the winter isn’t what Baccat deserves, and he’s determined to find a good person to take care of him. After all, he has so much to offer…but does he really deserve what he gets?

  Zanth Saves The Day, A FamCat on a beach just can’t sleep with all that odd hatching and squeaking going on. Zanth finds new friends and defends them against bullies…
