[Note: This review is of the digital edition.] Cat Maiden by Myra Nour: Madria, a cat, is changed into a human female by the gods Jupiter and Venus in order to prove a bet between them. She manages to crawl back to her home, and collapses. When his beloved cat runs out into a storm, and fails to come back, Antonius is distraught. When he hears a scratching at his door later that night, Antonius finds an unconscious, naked woman curled up on his doorstep. She is the epitome of his perfect woman, and the lonely Antonius begins to fall in love with her, even though he does not know where she is from, or why she has such odd, cat-like mannerisms. Pussyfooting Around by Ashley Ladd: Eddie's cat Diamond sees the huge alligator that lives in the canal attack a neighborhood child. Diamond charges the alligator and succeeds in distracting the alligator from the child. Unfortunately, she dies in the attempt. Because of her bravery and goodness of heart, the goddess Venus decides to grant Diamond her wish to return to earth as a human female, so she can try to win the love of her master in that form. But can Diamond overcome her feline reactions to the world around her, and become human in all ways? These are two cute short stories (each about 80 pages long) based on the myth of a bet between Jupiter and Venus as to whether a being can really change its nature. In these two stories, the gods change a cat into a human being, and the authors illustrate what happens next in each case. The love scenes are quite explicit, including male/female and oral sex. I found these interpretations very amusing, and quite a satisfying way to while away an hour or two. -- Jean, Fallen Angel Reviews (courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews)
