The Cat That Went To Uranus
by Dan Peacock
The ship was barely a million kilometres away from Earth when Commander Fowler heard a meow.
He stopped what he was doing and frowned. Spaceships did not normally meow. They’d been rocketing away from Earth for the best part of a week, and it hadn’t happened once. He wandered through into the main living room of the spaceship, where he found his crewmate, Munroe, reading the First Contact Manual. Munroe had his feet up on the table; one of them was tapping at a frantic pace.
“Did you hear that?” Fowler said. “I thought I heard a meow.”
