Description
Rorro the cat (of extraterrestrial origin) writes about a character named “Godmother,” a shopping center goddess, connoisseur of international lovers, queer militant, and synthetic drug partier who he unscrupulously calls “CONICET Bureaucrat,” and who he outs as a thief, judging himself as the author of the book, Desbunde y felicidad: attributed to the top critic Cecilia Palmeiro. Rorro’s project? Taking over Earth to invent The Clowder Future.
The book’s plot is insane, full of designer orgies, semi-legal trips under the guise of research grants, and hangovers as frequent as the dicks Godmother runs through. But it’s also a radical critique of how humans live, a catty, feminist investigation.

Reviews
Mariano López Seoane: “Cat power is a science fiction novel. And not only because the cosmic cat who tells us the stories comes from another planet, but first and foremost because the utopia she depicts requires the extinction of humanity, its definitive supersession, or, in the best-case scenario, its tactical and strategic subordination to a superior species […]Cat power lets us intuit the seeds of a world liberated from the catastrophe we call humanity.
