I enjoyed this, really liked the attention to quirky details, and the tone of the storyteller's voice - wry humour, while giving a good sense of both the boringly ordinary and the 'unworldliness' of those new surroundings. And of course... it would be a cat!

I really enjoyed your story. I always thought there was more to cats then what we imagined. I hope that there is a book coming out someday. I want to read more of this story. Excellent work!

Brilliant! Everything Helen said, and meticulously described… I can tell that you know every aspect of this particular time-place, even though it’s completely alien for us. You capture the feeling of disorientation perfectly.

I loved it! The quirky details, the boring character a la Douglas Adams, it is all fun! Can you go on - make it into a novella or even a novel?

Brilliantly done. The whole time I was reading (and chuckling throughout, by the way), I got the feeling that it was what a love child of Loki and Joe vs The Volcano would look like. I, like several others, would be excited to read more.

Fun read! Reminds me a bit of Kim Watt’s series with Gobbolino London, a talking cat who’s a detective. Well done, Ricard! (And how fun reading something by someone I’ve met - we sat together at tea at JodiWorld!)

Oooh, this was absolutely fantastic! I was very sad to come to the end. I really hope this is going to end up in a book format soon! The world building was so different - such an enjoyable read. I laughed as well, which was welcome!
