2,5 puntos. A riesgo de ser injusto con alguno de los autores.

He aquí una recopilación de cuentos de variada autoría, cuya temática central, como se podrá adivinar ya desde el título y la tapa, son los gatos. Algunos relatos son realmente buenos, sobretodo los que cuentan con cierto elemento ocultista. En ellos, el desarrollo de la cosmovisión y la mitología gatunas es simplemente genial, coincidiendo varios cuentos en ciertas concepciones y detalles. Un toque de calidad.
No obstante, otros son muy malos, tal así que lograron que posponga su lectura por uno o dos meses. Este porcentaje del libro está compuesto por historias harto superficiales, en las que no se tiene en cuenta ningún elemento decididamente felino a la hora de caracterizar a los personajes, por lo que resultan planos; como "humanos con cabeza de gato". Además, ¿Sex and the kitty? ¿De verdad?
Hay buen material aquí, pero es lo que se conoce como una mixed bag. Recomendado para amantes de los gatos. ( )
