A captivating fable for humans of all ages-dreamers and cynics alike-who believe (if nothing else) in the power of timeless storytelling.
"'Now,' continued the cat, there is nothing more difficult than changing an animal's mind. But I will say, in case I can change yours: humans are more useful to us outside our bellies than in."
Perhaps.
After The Calamity, the animals thought the humans had managed to do themselves in. But, it turns out, a few are cowering in makeshift villages. So, the animals-among them a cat, a dog, a crow, a baboon, a horse, and a bear-have convened to debate whether to help the last human stragglers...or to eat them.
