Time of the Cat
Time of the Cat | Tansy Rayner Roberts
6 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
It’s time to take history seriously.
The cats and humans of Chronos College know that time travel is the best job in the world, and nothing bad can ever happen to them in the past… except that one time they lost a traveller. And that other time they lost a cat.
Now they have a chance to make up for past mistakes by rescuing a long lost legend. If only they could convince Professor Boswell, the grumpiest marmalade tabby of all time, to join their mission to the Swinging Sixties, and save one of their own. (Plus pick up a missing piece or two of lost media along the way.)
Join Ruthven, Boswell, Monterey and Lovelace on the most chaotic time travel adventure of their lives. Featuring special appearances by Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, famous actress Fleur Shropshire, and the even more famous house where they filmed TV show Cramberleigh between 1964-1986.
Time of the Cat is a cozy sci-fi romp through the centuries, featuring academic endnotes, epic friendships, and far more cat hair than is strictly necessary. If you’d rather use time travel to steal the pens of famous writers of history than stop to fill in the proper paperwork, then this is the novel for you.

I submitted an add request for Team Queen a few days ago, but it's still not in the database, so I've tagged a different book by Tansy. Team Queen is a rather lovely little book of essays and stories about queens.

This was a great read! Not only time travel and cats, but banter, secrets and messing with history.

A very cute premise: time travel is possible but only if one human is accompanied by one cat. So far getting some Connie Willis vibes (To Say Nothing of the Dog, more than Doomsday Book), but with more humorous footnotes.

CSeydel Oh ho ho, I adore Connie Willis, but I‘ve never heard of this one - will definitely check it out! 12mo
Tsana @CSeydel I think the public release hasn‘t quite dropped yet but is coming soon. I back the book on Kickstarter to get an early copy and because I‘m a fan of the author, of course. 12mo
CSeydel Ah, good to know! 12mo

Time of the Cat is in my hot little hand at last! (I backed the Kickstarter.) Cosy SF, cats, and time travel, what's not to like?

“ If you‘d rather use time travel to steal the pens of famous writers of history than stop to fill in the proper paperwork, then this is the novel for you.“

I don't know that it's open for non-backer orders yet... looks like you can pre-order if you're interested?

Clwojick This cover!!!! 😍😂 13mo
Lauredhel @Clwojick It's so cute! Cover art is by Psycat Studio 13mo
