Every ship needs a cat or two to keep the pests at bay

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

and to ensure the lounge for the crew social gatherings is certified properly comfortable ;)

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

@@bullboo1 hmm..nha i take a house cat they evolved to hunt pests long before humans started to mess with puppers breeding to make them practical for the jobb to , though if it becomes a growing trend for aliens as a low cost alternative to expensive army of micro drones or the impossibility to use cats due to allergy ye.. good alternative to keep in mind.

[@bozhijak]

@@bullboo1 They don't have the stealth of a cat but would be great for moral. Right tool for the right job.

[@Sandman03777]

I love cats and this summarizes exactly what they are best used for, Pest control.

[@darrylroederer2680]

Please put this series into a playlist. The stories are absolutely charming

[@scifistories1977]

The playlist link to all of this authors stories are in the description.

[@darrylroederer2680]

For what it's worth, I am blind.. yes, I recognize the irony of a blind person on KZbin but the fact is, the software I use to surf the internet works flawlessly with KZbin but refuses to work with Reddit in any capacity. So while I can appreciate that the series is available on Reddit. It just doesn't do much for me over there. But don't get me wrong. Because I totally appreciate the work. You put into making these stories available to everyone here on KZbin.

[@scifistories1977]

@@darrylroederer2680 I've glad you're able to enjoy the stories on my channel. In my reply earlier, I meant that the video description also has the KZbin playlist link I created in it, so you can listen to all the stories I've added to KZbin for this author there. If it helps, this is the KZbin playlist link: kzbin.info/aero/PLkBGMBYRr0mGXbRWlToEaa1Pa7RTjPIqG

[@christianbuczko1481]

If this is a series, you should mark them as connected stories.

[@pauldwalker]

seconded.

[@Bob-db7ex]

Agreed

[@TimothyCizadlo]

They are a series, and they are so good, I bought the book from the authoress!

[@ericb8205]

He has them in a playlist in series

[@ericb8205]

This series is just different and it's good-hearted and it makes your heart smile

[@pauldwalker]

this is such a good universe for these stories.

[@TeesonMNL]

Please group all these stories into a playlist. I’m really loving them!

[@Necrobadger]

"Oh by the way they can usually survive falls from 500 times their height." "WHAT"

[@Shadow.Dragon]

Excellent story! I hope to hear more adventures of the little pest catchers! 😺

[@leonievanheerden7090]

And now the ship is purrfect❤😺

[@Myrcella_Rykker]

Loved this story. It seems like the third in a story arch. If I could make a humble suggestion, putting them in one of your play lists

[@scifistories1977]

I know what you mean, but it's a bit tricky. The author writes each story as a standalone story and makes no link references on reddit, so unless i work out that it's a possible arc, allbeit a small one, I have no way to really know. The author does have her own playlist already (link in the description), which I think is the best I can do given the way the stories are written and added to reddit.

[@charlesstafford8290]

"CATS" eco, "IN SPACE" eco eco eco. LOL@@scifistories1977

[@ericb8205]

In all reality it doesn't seem like it matters what sequins they're in it's almost like an old cartoon or TV show that just has the Standalone episodes that really don't have to do with each other just except for the crew it's the adventures of This Crew

[@ericb8205]

Although it does seem like you're going in order cuz he was hired for the ship in the first one and then there's another episode where he's talking about googly eyes it doesn't seem like sequential series is that important but it seems like you're getting them all in series

[@Myrcella_Rykker]

@@ericb8205 I don't mean in sequence order. Any order would do. Me idea is more like a convenience that they are all in one easy place. So I and others can revisit them later down the road. Without going down that long rabbit hole of endlessly searching. Plus I didn't link that the googly eyes was a part of this universe. I just connect the animal ones together in my mind.

[@kathleenhensley5951]

They kept our sea ships cleared of pests for centuries, now, they will keep our star ships cleared, what a charming story! My Meka is a superior mouser. She leaves the dying mice where I can find them.

[@stratometal]

When a cat slow blinks at you it out of love. Their equivalent of blowing a kiss. Mine just chewed my finger something bad, she was caught on something and was freaking out, I tried to help but in the rush forgot to cover my hands with something and... well it will be fine. She definitively felt bad cuz she wont stop bopping me and smelling where she turned my finger into swiss cheese. I think she learned not to mess with that particular house appliance.

[@FroggyMosh]

Yeah, my cat definitely felt bad that one time after she tore into my arm, freaking out cause her nail got caught in the steel mesh cover of my speaker. When I had gently freed her _(or as gently as one could with a cat kicking and screaming bloody murder)_ she took off for a while, as she always did when she'd gotten upset or hurt. Came back about half an hour later while I sat on the couch, real ginger-careful-like checking on my arm before hopping up on my lap, apologizing with head bops and cuddles. She did this for days.

[@stratometal]

@@FroggyMosh Yep, the head bop sure is one of those "love you" signs that I can't resist.

[@johnfrancis9668]

Thanks!

[@scifistories1977]

Thanks again! You're very kind to do this. I've contacted the author and will let her know about this super thanks as well! Thank you.

[@bykrmom]

Best episode yet.

[@eleklovatka7666]

Space Goat Coast to Coast!

[@jamiepatterson1214]

Oh yeah! Let the cats do what they do best, when not climbing on everything and attacking heels.

[@lindacarter457]

Loved it, especially since it about cats - purfect cat "tail"😂!

[@sgt4346]

Nice story, interested in more 👍

[@Wolf359inc]

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

[@verilyheld]

"See that they behave themselves." O Captain My Captain!-- you are in for a shock!

[@contrafax]

Cats in space is my favorite trope!

[@bozhijak]

This made me smile. Thanks.

[@farkelrysunhope6339]

The token human stories are the best

[@mikemesser4326]

Bargains at the Space Market is the story just prior to this one. And I think that How I Became a Token Human might be the start of the series. I’d have to go back a listen to the latter to be sure.

[@ritchieprice2103]

Loved it. Play list please. :)

[@scifistories1977]

Please check the description for the KZbin playlist for this author.

[@DaleRaby]

Pretty good story!

[@oldturtleguy]

Loved it.

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

hmm.. that they behave , is this a bad moment to mention for the ccaptain one of the other reasons humans not so much ...took... cats into their homes as agreed to a wordless suggestion of shared living space is well.. hear the crew ? they already starting to fall for the enchantment of small silky warm and playful little ones ..and they havent even yet experienced the soothing vibrations and silken warmth of a grown one , they can be asholes and a few of your crew likely already be unable to part with them XD

[@LittleRed256]

Will there be more of this story? I really hope so!

[@scifistories1977]

I'll add a couple more of these in the next few days.

[@LittleRed256]

Thanks

And their daddy was named "Jones".

Why is Telly not in the thumbnail?❤

[@scifistories1977]

There is only so much I can make the AI art generator do! For every one picture i use, 30 pictures get generated trying to get the one I want. Feel free to try yourself at Leonardo.ai You get 150 tokens a day for free. I would gladly update the thumbnail if you can create a background with Telly in it..

[@cindaschuster6725]

[@eblkii6314]

Cats never behave themselves.

[@cheesetonk]

[@johncunningham4820]

Yes . I Agree with @christianbuczko1481. You do seem to be Re-using this Crew . Which is Fine . They are Cute .
