Cattitude

by Chris Dee

Catwoman's Origin Story from her first theft to her first cat, and her first encounter with Batman. "Selina had no 'origin' in the sense of one defining moment that made her Catwoman... but she hadn't sprung out of the sidewalk at age twenty-three wearing a catsuit." Collected in Cat-Tales: Book 3

About the author

Chris Dee is an award-winning playwright, entertainment consultant, and metafiction author who brings real life experience to her storyverse, fusing it with unimagined truth and depth.

She is a woman who has squatted down next to a 500-lb Bengal tiger and petted its fur. She has held an ocelot in her arms and allowed it to ‘groom’ her forearm. She has spent the night in a cabin with two rambunctious caracals. She studied art in Florence, Italy, worked in a museum and walked through its galleries after closing. She knows the difference between Picasso and Pissarro, Manet and Monet. She has been inside Cartier. She has been inside a corporate board room. She has been on a yacht and in a private plane.

The life experience Chris Dee brings to these tales brings a depth to the characters unseen in any previous incarnations.
