This tale poses a unique question: can catastrophe create sublime happiness? Perhaps it might, but not without treacherous game playing from Cleopatrus Excaptivus, a cat unabashedly beloved by its owner, but to all others a creature from hell. Truthfully based on real people, real events, and, yes, a very real cat, this story will touch your heart with laughter and is a pleasure to read aloud. First published in Camera Obscura (Vernal 2012 issue), a journal of quality fiction and photography, Cleopatrus Excaptivus now proudly stands on its own four paws in this Large Print Edition.
