Even fewer with cats.  I write lots of female characters, but I take a page from one of my favorite authors.  I don\u2019t write female characters.  I write characters, some of whom happen to be female.  And in this case, a cat.  This story was a bit of a trial run.  Originally written for the Raconteur Moggie series, they did not pick it up.  I\u2019ve looked around for other homes for it, but none seemed to fit, so I finally decided a while ago that I would publish it up on my substack for you to read if you want.  I then spent a long time trying and failing to get a good cover image I liked.  I tried for a while on Dezgo, but never got one I was really happy with.  Then not lot ago I decided to try Forge on one of my computers, and after some experimentation I finally decided to try another go at this cover.  It turns out that my PromptFu has gotten better, and Forge gave me just what I wanted.  So here is the first story I wrote with a cat as a protagonist.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out at my substack, if you dare.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jackofharts.substack.com\/p\/a-tail-of-new-kyushu\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/jackofharts.substack.com\/p\/a-tail-of-new-kyushu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t often write female characters as the Point of View character.
