    Tailchaser's Song

    Tad Williams · 1985

    Fifteen years ago, a young author surprised and enchanted readers with his first novel—the story of Fritti Tailchaser, a courageous tom cat in a world of whiskery heroes and villains, of feline gods and strange, furless creatures called M'an. The book was Tailchaser's Song, the author was Tad Williams. The legend was born.

    What Hacker News says

      There are some fun books written from a cat's perspective. Some of that comes from anthropomorphizing their inner lives and finding the drama in them. Even a life of presumed leisure may be filled with interesting drama humans want to read about.

      (A fun example, if anyone is looking for one, though not about house cats but feral ones is Tad Williams' fantasy novel "Tailchaser's Song".)

      Also "Tailchaser's Song" by Tad Williams, very recommended and IMO much superior to his dorstopper series:
