It is a truth universally acknowledged: that a single tom in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a queen. And a civilized feline must go about snaring such a tom with grace, wit, and a good heart, for to do otherwise invites social ruin and a reputation as a feral cat.
Felines are the movers and shakers of the upper classes, with humans to provide thumbs and manage the horses. Bingley is an orange tom who moves to the Bennets' neighborhood, Darcy is his Abyssinian friend, and Elizabeth is a tortoiseshell ? with all the temper and "tortitude" that entails. Enjoy a classic Austen tale with a dollop of felinity!

Autorentext
Elizabeth McCoy's fiction has appeared in Marion Zimmer Bradley's Sword and Sorceress #7, in the "Best In Show" anthology by Sofawolf*, and in the fanzine "Pawprints" (published by Conrad Wong & T. Jordan Peacock). Her tabletop RPG writing is published by Steve Jackson Games. As her author bios in SJ Games' material continually state, she lives in the Frozen Wastelands of New England, with a spouse, child, and assorted cats.
She hopes that her work will be enjoyed, and is always a bit awkward about referring to herself in the third person.
*Best in Show has been re-published as: "Furry!: The Best Anthropomorphic Fiction!" (Fred Patten, ed.)
