Magicats! is a book of short stories edited by Jack Dann and Gardner Dozois. It features stories from such greats as Stephen King, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Fritz Leiber among others. The stories feature fey cats, funny cats, deadly cats, cats that dreams are made of, cats to haunt your nightmares. Fun!
I don't usually read collections of short stories, but I recommend this book if for no other reason than the great story by Cordwainer Smith, "The Game of Rat and Dragon."
As the book says, "Here, in what may well be the most imaginative of the science fiction extrapolations in this anthology, {Smith] shows us a future in which travelers can flit between the stars in the blink of an eye . . . if they are willing to dare the dark and twisted dimensions of 'space three,' the 'up-and-out,' and face the 'dragons' that dwell there, malevolent and implacably deadly creatures who strike without warning out of the black hollow nothingness of multidimensional space, and who can only be defeated by - a cat."
