The best story in the collection is "Strange Stars" by Laurence Brothers. But the others stories are quite good as well.

Vonnegut Strikes Again... And Again

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017

A wonderful salute to Kurt Vonnegut. At times it feels like the writers are channeling Vonnegut as they present story after story in his wry, humorous voice. From intelligent life accidently spawned in the vat of a restaurant's synthetic meat generator, to the formica table tops in a diner, that turn out to be a trans-dimensional trap the action is wide ranging and Vonnegut-ian. Especially liked Spooky Action by David A. Kilman and Talk to the Animals by Jill Hand. Finally I got a good laugh from the Grins and Gurgles section with it's flash funnies.

A Fitting Tribute

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2017

Usually, when I read an anthology as soon as I've finished one story, I cannot resist starting the next, but the tales in Cat's Breakfast gave me too much to think about to race through them. Stories like Christopher Mark Rose's 'Emerging Grammars', 'The Confrontation Station' by Ryan Dull and '37' by Dan Koboldt demanded a closer look at accepted opinion and the unexpected consequences that the things we automatically think would be good might have.
My favourites out of the whole anthology are 'They Grow up So Fast' by Konstantine Paradias, and Vaughan Stanger's 'One Is One', although there is not one story that is not worth reading again.
