An anthology showing social injustice in a dystopian society. The main character is a talking cat who guides a widow through a fantastical journey where she becomes enlightened. The Cat Laughed is an allegorical tale of the impact of eroding social justice in a modern dystopian society. A theoretical cat, an Old Testament prophet and a widow, guide the reader on a journey that sounds the call for the revival of a moral compass benefitting a majority of people, not just a privileged few. I'm still not sure it really happened.... But of this I am sure -- After it happened I was a changed person and I haven't been the same since.
