Space Cat

Doug Cushman crafts a humorous space voyage with a robot sidekick in the middle of culinary chaos. The narrative sends the feline pilot flying home toward Earth alongside Earl, an eager robot assistant whose cooking tastes like glue.

An unfamiliar alien planet becomes an emergency stop after a stray space rock punctures the rocket’s fuel tank. A bustling alien city leads the traveler to King Zorp, an eccentric ruler whose giant machines demand every drop of local fuel.

The story delivers a lively planetary detour with an inventive twist in the face of rattling machinery.
