This is a poignant, charming and amusing fiction
story that raises very moral questions about our interaction with animals and
how this may impact on us at a later date. Psychotherapist, Pete Shepherd's
life is changed dramatically when his new girlfriend, Emmie, presents him with
a kitten called Moo. Not particularly fond of cats he is about to take Moo into
an animal rescue centre when he discovers that she can both speak his language
and read his thoughts. Moo has a mission: to educate Pete about the very dire
state of the animal kingdom due to humanity's mistreatment and mishandling of
animals. Gradually she begins to educate Pete on animal evolution that is
strange, fascinating and rather disturbing if this is true. Apparently, a race
of animal beings, known as the Nasym, have forced their way into the human
evolutionary chain in order to escape the cruelty. Moo's deepest fear is of becoming
human and losing her fur; because a life without the qualities of fur is
unbearable and also what she believes to be humanity's fundamental problem.
