Last Free Cat, The

This sci-fi/fantasy novel begins with a feline epidemic, a disease that cats can acquire and become fatal to humans. Because of the disease, the government has put a regulation on felines; one must have a cat from a government breeder and have a permit, both of which are incredibly expensive.

This fast-paced novel has strong main characters. The plot was well-written and deeply thought-out; it gives the readers questions and will later answer those questions. It leaves the readers entertained and will keep the reader wanting more. Cat lovers will especially enjoy this book. A fascinating read for teenagers and adults alike.
