Feral, Vol. 1: Indoor Cats by Tony Fleecs

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is basically a zombie apocalypse only with cats and rabies. No, it's more scary because rabies mutating to make it worse so the government has to kill all house pets and whatever wild mammals they can to try and quarantine the infection is far too real. I remember the wholesale slaughter of cows when Mad Cow disease broke out.

That's your warning. It's house cats being killed, mostly by rabid other animals. Like lots of cats...and rabbits and foxes and dogs.....

I have no idea who this is for (but judging by other reviews there's an audience for this). Three house cats, Patches, Elsie and Lord were being transported for testing and probably destruction when an accident frees them not far from their house but into the woods that these cats do not know.

They try to get to safety and Lord is such a total idiot that you want to scream. He is the feline equivalent of TSTL. He gets a lot of his companions killed as a result of his inability to listen to anyone else or follow instructions. At the end they try to explain why Lord is like this but by then I just didn't care.

The art is good but I cannot see me reading more of this.
