I have not read this yet, but this title is so good I am dying to read it! (I love cats).

The night after I read this story my cat was very restless and kept trying to attack me all night long. Made the story way more realistic! :)

What in the world??? ? ?? This story is crazy! First off I love how the cat comes back to get revenge. Wouldn't it be something if all the abused animals in the world came back and got revenge? All the abandoned cats and dogs left outside all the time like they are cattle instead of a pet??? So I love that part about the story. But the cat going in the mouth... whoa! Wasn't expecting that at all!

"The Cat from Hell" is one of those stories you would've love to have read as a kid under your blanket with the flashlight. Great surprise ending.

This was a great story.

I love King's cat stories!! This one was great...well put together, and I never would have guessed. I thought at first that the old guy was a complete nut case...but for sure that cat's a killer!!! :)

The ending!!!!!! OMG! Lol. Loved it!

King has a strange relationship with cats...this isn't the first time they've creeped me out in King's works.

How about the cat from Pet Semetary? Lol

This was also written in the late 70's, so it is definitely more reflective of his style then. I actually have a copy of that issue of Cavalier because of this story. (hooray E-Bay!) I think it's great vintage King, but didn't really go with the rest of the stories.

I actually liked the variety of stories myself.

Alright, so I've been reading this book now for a few days, and I've been enjoying reading your discussions about the stories thus far...it's interesting to see other people's takes on what I've read.

But I just have to say...this is King as I know him best--now my stomach hurts and I'm terrified of my cat! :S

Yea it does freak me out to think my cat might do that.
