My Friend Took Me To A Feline Therapy Place For My Anxiety And I’m Starting To Wonder Where The Cats Are?
Relaxing with a purring cat can make people feel better…
…but did you know purring makes the cat feel better too?
Some folks see the daily challenges we’ve made it a habit to overcome and can’t stop themselves from trying to help. Surely there’s a way. Surely there’s something we haven’t already tried. And sometimes we humor them, because even though their solution isn’t for the right problem… what if this one works? What this is the one that helps?
What have we got to lose?
A first-person exploration of anxiety, Feline Therapy is my biggest departure yet; lighter on the gender feels, heavier on the ways we face our problems and the ways we escape them. It’s my first full-color book, as well as my first collaboration with a professional illustrator. I hope you like it!
Please enjoy, and let’s keep making wonderful things together.
[content warning: this story deals with altered states of sentience; the last half gets intense, so please give yourself time to read it in one go]
This is a light novel of 33 pages with 5 interior color illustrations featuring the art of Satellite 9!

Very short and written in a nice, light style.
The subject matter is not light, though - as the title reveals, the main character is having serious problems with anxiety and trying nonstandard therapy for it. I liked that she's enough of a character to flesh her out a bit, but the problems are described in a more general, relatable manner. I especially liked the fairytale concept of the place, the descriptions of main character gradually losing herself in the new situation and that, ultimately, nothing really bad happened. I feel like I needed something this fluffy and with cute little pictures.
The formatting of the ebook is the only big complaint I'd have. The foreword, table of contents and beginning are all mashed together, the titles of the chapters are not highlighted in any way. The table of contents probably should have been links to the chapters, but doesn't work. I don't know, maybe it's designed for one kind of program or device.
This problem wasn't really that big, as the story is short and written in a way that's simple to follow even for someone who's very not smart, like I am. The advice at the beginning, to read everything in one go, is very good - I will probably regret staying this late on a Sunday night.

I read this over the course of vending at a convention and felt deeply attacked by the entire story. This shares a lot of themes of shedding prior identity to be closer to yourself, and it's honestly something I deeply vibe with. The closing monologue - why be afraid of failing, why not just try your best, why not just be what you can be - all hammer just as close to home as the rest of Zandra's works. Short and incredibly to-the-point - the pacing's quick, but not so quick as that I ever felt lost. If I had to include a single complaint, it's that there just wasn't enough of it.

I got this in the racial equality bundle and I had no idea what it was besides a cat therapy book. After reading it I feel a lot of emotions and feelings but mainly hope I too can end my story in a similar way.

This went in a completely unexpected direction and it was completely wonderful.

A fascinating little read that kept me questioning the "reality" in it. Perfect for one sitting, very LGBT+ friendly. Great anxiety rep.

Why can't this be real? I really loved this short novel.

The book is short and cute, the drawings are so pretty! It reminded me of cat cafes :,)
