Exactly the way any thinking cat would handle aliens. Bravo! I feel safer just knowing my cats are the first line of defense.

If you have a cat, you have to read this short story. It is avaible as an ebook, but also appears in Alien Pets.
Fluffy the cat has a problem. Her litter mate and aliens.
Fluffy the princess fixes said problem the only way a cat would.
Rusch is channeling a cat quite well.
