Carmen Dog by Carol Emshwiller
4.0
In which women turn into female animals, and female pets turn into women (revealing a few previously-thought-to-be-male pets as female, such as Philip). Please do not expect a straightforward plot arc, but please do expect to love Pooch. I would enjoy a long discussion with some of my favorite Toasties about this one.
I do have to say that this felt very much of a certain time and style of SF. Not only because of the particular stage of society that it was skewering, slightly different than now but still very recognizable, but also because of the structure and prose. It isn't bad; I quite liked it, but it may put some off.
