The Cat of Principles
Nine Tails from a Glitching CityBy Naiko Vale
Length52m
About this audiobook
A cat lives by a code: if it sits on the edge, it belongs on the floor; if the human is stressed, block the screen; if the lamp is on the wrong side, restore order. Nine warm, funny, quietly philosophical short stories narrated by a cat keeping watch while his human tries to fix a world that doesn't want to be fixed. The city glitches. The cat never apologizes.
