Cat Goddess by Janice Seagraves

In my book science fiction book series, Chronicles of Arcon, I have a cat. Not any cat, but a Goddess. I refer to her as the Arcon's living Goddess. What that means is she is a living creature with special powers that walks amung them. So how is this science fiction and not fantasy? Her people, the old ones, developed right beside the humans and the humans worshiped them.

It was funny too, I had no plans on introducing the Goddess or God of the Arcon race. I acutally kind of thought they didn't worship at all, but I started adding her in and surprised myself.

 Exceprt:

     Snatching up a pine cone, Audrey pitched it over the fence. Something scurried off making the huge ferns move in its wake. Peering over the slats, she didn’t see anything. A squirrel?

And then later:

"Audrey walked down the road and heard a rustle in the brush. Bending forward she peered at whatever it was. A pair of red slanted eyes met her gaze for a moment, and then disappeared. 

"What the heck was that?"

I wonder where I was going with this.

But then later, while Blade and Audrey were talking, it all became clear:

 “The Mother? I heard Keefe swearing by the Mother, a couple of times. Is that your religion?

Do you worship the Mother?” 

Something chuckle in the underbrush. A bird?      

“Yes and no,” Blade said, bringing her attention back to him. “The Mother is the progenitor of our race, and she is the last of her kind.”

     “What do you mean?” A chill run up her back.

     “The Mother gave birth to the first of our species. We made a capsule for her, and then we took her to the stars with us.”

     “Whoa, time out,” she said, making the “T” sigh with her hands. “Are you telling me you’re Goddess, your mother, which your race developed from, is-is a living breathing creature and you brought her here to Earth?” 

     “Yes, why is that so hard to comprehend?”

     “What does she look like?”

     “Paz’s pillow looks somewhat like her.”

     “You mean the pillow that looks like a purple tailess cat?”

And then I had the cat Goddess nailed down.
