Cats...charming, lovable creatures or deadly, razor-clawed predators? The mixture of sweet and dangerous is one of the things that makes cats endlessly fascinating and appealing.

But no matter how well we think we know our feline friends... Do we really know them?

Stories should be 6,000 to 8,000 words, with no graphic violence, sex, or language. Deadline is August 1.

Email the completed manuscript, along with a query letter, to Livia Reasoner at livia@flash.net. Please put NINE DEADLY LIVES in the subject line.
