    Literally visit the realm that cats transcend to when they dream—and learn why you should be worried—in this standalone issue titled “A Dream of a Thousand Cats”!

    One night just after the humans have gone to bed, a little white house kitten is visited by a friend who helps her escape for the night. They travel to an old cemetery where a whole pride of cats has gathered to hear what an unnamed traveling Siamese cat has to say. When all are assembled, the Siamese tells the sad story of her life, the things she has learned from the Dream King, and the hope she has for the future of cat kind.
