She just takes Spot everywhere doesn’t she.
This makes me happy in ways I can’t completely describe.
There was a science fiction short story with that plot. Evil Aliens hit a spaceship full of humans with a paralysis ray before boarding. The ship's cat 1.) wasn't affected 2.) had been entered into the system as a crew member as a joke. So, being the ranking crew member, the cat was in charge. Ship's computer displayed the enemy ships on the tactical command touch screen and the cat swatted at the glowy dots, targeting the ships and activating the defenses.
how can you say this and not tell us the name of the story of the author because I AM DESPERATE NOW...
Everything about this post is causing me to make the same face as that cat.
I HAVE A BOOK THAT STORY IS IN!!!!! The story itself is titled “Well Worth the Money” and written by Jody Lynn Nye. The book I have is titled “Cats in Space (and Other Places)” edited by Bill Fawcett and published in 1992 by Baen Publishing Enterprises, distributed by Simon and Schuster. ISBN 0-671-72118-6. EVERY STORY IN THE BOOK IS GREAT, and I suggest if you can lay your hands on a copy you do so.
(Warning, the front cover says “In space, no one can hear you meow...” and the back cover says, “Space, the Feline Frontier.” Just in case you’re allergic to puns or something.)
I have a mighty need!!
