I just finished reading one of the coolest xenofiction (talking animal) novels ever.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/70/Tailchasers_Song.jpg/200px-Tailchasers_Song.jpg)
Here's the premise given on the back of the book:
Meet Fritti Tailchaser, a ginger tom cat of rare courage and curiosity, a born survivor in a world of heroes and villains, of powerful feline gods and whiskery legends about those strange, furless, erect creatures called M'an. Join Tailchaser on his magical quest to rescue his catfriend Hushpad--a quest that will take him all the way to cat hell and beyond...
When I try to explain this book to people, I often use these comparisons.
It's like Lord of the Rings...with cats.
It's like Watership Down...with cats.
It's like Erin Hunter's Warriors...but better. A lot better. And Tailchaser's Song came first.
And check this out! It's going to be made into a movie!

It seems very interesting .3.

I'm glad you think so. This book needs more fans. Warriors has fan clubs and fan art and roleplay sites up the wazzoo...and yet nobody ever even mentions Tailchaser's Song.
The injustice! >:(
