Kitty Meets the Furries first appeared as One Saturday Night in Furbank in my diary. Some months later I was invited to participate in a show called "Hans: Interspecies Love" at Oni Gallery in Boston, so I edited the story and drew illustrations of the photos I took at the Confurence, and I made a 16-page color postcard-sized illustrated book. Here's how it was printed. And here's a sample illustration:



Here's what people have written about KMTF:

It's a steal, filled with great art, a wacky story, and loads and loads of fur. Get yiffy with it! - The Reverse Cowgirl

Quite possibly the most interesting expose of the furry society made in the last few weeks. - Rabbit Valley

Worst. Infiltration. Ever. - Sean, on the alt.fan.furry bulletin board.





Kitty Meets the Furries was recently added to the Recommended Furry Reading List for the 2002 Ursa Major Awards! The Awards honor the best anthropomorphic literature and art of 2002. I'm practically unknown, certainly the dark horse, and considering my book is satirical, I'm surprised to be on the list. And thrilled! I don't know whether KMTF stands a chance against famous characters like the mighty Thundercats and movie veteran Howard the Duck, or the delightfully bratty chimpanzee from My Monkey's Name is Jennifer, but who knows!
