Star Ka'at
'Earth invaded by Supercats!' proclaims the cover. Not quite; the Ka'ats land secretly to rescue from the coming armageddon the half-kin who can still respond, those cats retaining ancestral powers from Egyptian days when Man and Ka'at were friends. Tiro and Mer Find their mission complicated because each 'I Jim, he said, feeling a little odd as he introduced himself a cat. Jim meets Tiro in Star Ka'at. becomes attached to a human orphan. Should they save or leave them? (Three guesses.) This has large, though rather cramped print, and good illustrations but my copy is very flimsily glued. Not much action or excitement but the story flows easily. Simple SF is rare; one copy to experiment?
