Cat Stories: Fiction

Enjoy these stories about people and cats, all fiction, but depicting very real events in the world of cats. These stories are from my own archives, and also include guest writers' stories.

The Fourth Magi - A Christmas Story

Jim shares a glorious story about a cat-hating curmudgeon and the cat who had his own say about the matter.

Beloved of Bast

A sensitive, compassionate story written by Jim Willis, who operated a rescue organization called The Tiergarten Sanctuary, along with a very special extra piece called, "The Animals' Savior," which has become a beacon of strength to shelter workers.

Free Kittuns

This sad story reminds us that "free to a good home" is unwise, at best, and that spaying and neutering can save lives as well as heartache.

La Visitadora - The Visitor

A poignant story about a cat, two women, and the man who brought them together, from the prolific writer and artist, Jim Willis, who is a popular contributer to pet sites on About.com

The Zen of Cat

Losing a cat is never easy, but we have much to learn from them in death as well as life, as illustrated by this wonderful story by a prolific writer and animal lover.
