Why would you need a fantasy book about mystical cats? IMO, should be non-fiction.
Are titles allowed to have that many colons? Holy crap.
Reminds me of the Cordwainer Smith stories about warrior cats. I'm probably misquoting, but there were these cats, and they had to be evolved quickly in order to rescue a spaceship from attack, so they're sent to this planet and an evolving ray or something is trained on them, and in the blink of an eye they've developed the technology to make space weaponry and they jump in their spaceships and attack the bad guys with the battle cry: "And now come cats!"
My cat once protected me from an attacking squirrel.
Which Erin Hunter? "Erin" is the brand for a group of 3 or 4 writers who crank out the Warriors series. One women is the braintrust (I forget her real name) and most likely the reader. She is a good reader, a Brit with a great accent and sense of drama. The books are sappy but somehow compelling tales of cat clans caught in the kind of issues that mirror the lives of the adolescent girls that are the target audience. There are broken allegiances, evil cliques, community-minded leaders and those who are Machievellian, apprentices both fur-brained and credits to the path. Kind of Jedi light with more licking (sharing tongues!) behind the ears. My 13-year-old is a devotee and when she finally convinced me to read a few (there are 3 serieses, maybe 18 books total, including some cool Manga titles) I got totally hooked, could do nothing but read the damn things, to the exclusion of all other human contact, and found myself fixing on certain cats, weeping with their pain and howling in celebration of their successes. Addicting crack candy fantasy, that's what I would call it.
behold the power of pussy
@2 : It reminds me of a rejected Coheed & Cambria album title.
