Chai and Charmcraft (The Charmcraft Chronicles #1) by Lynn Strong
What's a prince to do when the man of his dreams doesn't want a crown and his cat-familiar is banned from the palace? Faraj is a prophet who has dreamed for years of a man's hands tending a jasmine plant in a starlit window, but he's the type of prophet who only dreams of forthcoming disasters. As it turns out, the man of his dreams is a kind, thoughtful, gentle soul... which means the disasters are coming from the cats.
Haroun and the Study of Mischief by Lynn Strong
Two very good boys might like to fight crime, if there has been a crime more dire than their fashion sense: Haroun, the blind saluqi priest of Yepuet, has come to Tel-Bastet to learn mischief from catfolk, and he's never met a crime of fashion he wouldn't commit. Shai Madhur thinks that offering to be Haroun's seeing-eye human sounds like a kind, sedate act of hospitality. Three romping days later, Madhur swears he's never going carousing again.
Chai and Cat-tales by Lynn Strong
Bask in a sunbeam with three cozy fantasy novellas of the Catsprowl, beginning with a fairy tale where the aroace gal gets her happily ever after on her own terms, and "the smart funny capable brown woman beat the patriarchy" isn't just the way we wish 2024 had gone. In the second story, a nonverbal kitten has Big Opinions about soap, water, and great literature (spoiler: soap is The Worst). In the third, a disabled priest wants to nourish everyone, even the mice; but the potter whom he couldn't provide for haunts his dreams.
