3.0

As someone who loves cats and enjoys pirate stories, I felt like I had to read an anthology that combines these things. I like that the authors took pretty different approaches to the theme: the stories feature things like actual pirate cats, regular cats on pirate ships, cats in space ships and cats in a pirate-themed video game. However, the quality of the stories is a bit varied, which is almost always the case when it comes to short story collections.
