Following the purrrfection of Dog People R. M. Drake introduces Cat People.
When a cat is gone, it feels as though the world has misplaced a piece of its quiet magic. You look around and the rooms are the same, yet emptier in ways you can’t quite name. The sunbeam still warms the floor, but no body is there to claim it. The windowsill still waits, but its vigil is unanswered. What you’ve lost isn’t just fur and heartbeat—it’s the hush that padded softly beside your own life.
Grief seeps into small spaces: the hollow of your arm that no longer carries a warm weight, the stretch of silence that no longer softens into purr. It’s the absence of those wordless understandings—the way they knew when to touch you, when to leave you in your storms, when to curl into your joy as if it were theirs.
Love doesn’t know how to leave with them. It lingers stubbornly, like breath on glass, like a candle whose flame has gone out but whose smoke still threads the air. You keep reaching, out of habit, for something no longer there—and in that reaching, you realize: this love has nowhere to rest, and so it becomes part of you.
Cat People is a collection of stories, prose, and poems that honors the quiet magic of cats—their mystery, their affection given on their terms, and the way they choose us as their own. These pages hold the stillness, the slow trust, the glances that speak volumes, and the kind of love that doesn’t shout, but stays. It’s a reminder to notice the small moments, to cherish the gentlest bonds, and to understand that even the softest presence can leave the deepest mark. As you read, you’ll find yourself returning to that hush between heartbeats, where cats have always lived—with quiet affection, quiet wisdom, and a love that never really leaves.
STORE POLICY DESCRIPTION:
Read below before purchasing a pre-order to avoid any miscommunication between the publisher and customer.
Pre-orders will begin processing and shipping in November. Please note that shipments will not go out all at once; orders will be fulfilled in batches.
1. Address Accuracy
Please double-check your shipping address at the time of purchase. Once an order is processed, we are unable to make changes. If an incorrect address is provided, the customer is responsible for contacting USPS to have the package forwarded to the correct address.
2. Address Changes Before Processing
If you are moving and your order has not yet been processed, please contact customer support as soon as possible so we can update your shipping information.
3. Pre-Orders
All pre-orders are final sale and cannot be canceled, changed, or returned. Once submitted, your order is sent directly to our print-on-demand partner for production. Please only place a pre-order if you are willing to wait until the expected ship date.
4. Order Processing Timeline
Orders are processed in batches, not all at once. This means there may be a delay between when your order is placed and when it is shipped, depending on your position in the processing queue.
5. Processing Order Sequence
We fulfill single-book orders first to ensure faster processing times. If your order includes multiple books, please expect a longer wait, as these are handled after single orders. To avoid delays, we recommend placing separate single-book orders for gifts or additional recipients such as friends, family, or partners.
6. Damaged Items
If your item arrives with significant damage (e.g., torn pages, broken binding, or water damage), please contact customer support with clear photos of the issue. We’ll be happy to assist you. Please note that minor imperfections such as light scratches or scuffs on the cover are not considered damage.
7. Customer Support
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our customer support team at Chariseg@yahoo.com. We aim to respond within 1–2 business days and are always happy to help.
