Description
Ownership of the last functioning piece of orbital infrastructure kind of puts you in a position of responsibility. The fact that there's a lack of thumbs in the process makes it a challenge. But challenge is, as far as anyone can prove, my middle name.

- 1chipaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Loved it! Made me cry, you little kitty. Dont do that ever again. The story i captivating, and can make you rethink about what means to be a persona, a human, a living creature. I highly recomend to bing read it.

I enjoyed the highly original world-building. This is more than just a post-apocalyptic world; it's a world so weary of apocalyptic events that they've become banal.
I enjoyed how the narrator's physical and figurative position in the world takes in a grand, high-level scope without becoming impersonal. She is literally watching everything play out from orbit, through a telescope.
The characters are interesting and likeable, but still capable of conflict.
It's a fun adventure, and a neatly executed mystery. Mystery is difficult to do without making it too obvious or too opaque. Flawless use of Chekhov's gun.
The audiobook performance is quite good.
Bravo. - OpaillyaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Very creative and fun to read sci-fi story. The writing style is what really brings things together, with Lily being a great and funny protagonist to follow.
It doesn't really get much of a "plot" until pretty late in the story, but that in no way detracts from the enjoyment of reading it. - ShaorakaRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Kitty Cat Kill Sat is about Lily Ad-Alice. First member of the species Felis Astra. Honorary human, guardian of Sol, follower of the Last Oath, survivor of a very old war. Daughter, sister, mother, commander, friend, and sometimes god. But we said cat earlier, so you knew the last one already.
Lily's a cat in the prime of her life, barely a few centuries, never distracted, no never, and the sole remaining crew on an old golden era space station with more railguns that things to point them at.
She passes her day rushing from emergency to emergency, listening to help calls from the surface below her and helping wherever she can, whenever she's not yelling at a station that stubbornly refuses to speak cat like any reasonable being.
Along the journey she might (just maybe) make a few friends that hopefully won't die/kill her, and together well... The sky's not even the limit once you're up in space.
Kitty Cat Kill Sat is a story about lofty goals and small paws, and it is definitely worth a look. - The0mRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0this is a story of a cat stuck in space with nothing to keep her entertained other than the remaining life left on the planet which she perfers to keep as such and she doesn't actually have much time for entertainment considering running a space station tends to be rather difficult when you lack a body that it was designed for but none the less she has found a way and maybe found the time to make a few friend
This story is experenced based lore building
As well as a midling start
Quite enjoyable - ThymeToChimeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I never really write reviews but given how much I've enjoyed this I just had to. The setting of what appears to be a post-post-post apocalyptic earth from the viewport of space, alongside the delightful perspective of our main character makes this story a huge treat.
But seriously, go read the first chapter. I was hooked after the first few paragraphs and if you're anything like me you'll end up binging through the rest of the chapters.
argusthecat, sincerely, thank you for this story so far. I haven't enjoyed reading a new story this much in quite a while and I can't wait for more. - TuftearsRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A story about a cat, lone occupant of a heavily armed space station in the very distant future. Despite the cat's grumpy attitude (the station is constantly threatening to fall apart around her ears), it's oddly heartwarming, and over the course of the story, we learn more about the odd setting in which she lives and the mysteries of her existence. Also, she is very cat. With access to way too much firepower for anyone's comfort.
- deathbricksRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I've recently been on a scifi binge with first contact, they are smol and now this, this story is definately worth a read. Hmm... This review needs to be longer then 50 characters. So i'll say and spoiler this for those that want to go in completely blind.
The main character
is quite literally a cat. not a cat girl, though it is a female cat, no neko, not a human with cat ears, or a furry type of cat, no. this is a stock standard cat. The difference between the cat behind you plotting your murder and the cat in this story is that this cat has had some extra stuff stuffed in its noggin. Its as smart as a human, with the tendacies and focus of a cat. - ranstang94Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I'm in awe. This was one of the most satisfying things I've ever read. Utterly hilarious and mysterious all at the same time. I love the main character, never had a writer personified cat well! I actually enjoyed not understanding how everything worked. The story was just fun all the way around. I hope this gets recorded and posted on Audible.
- skairunnerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Our main character is a cat. She's running a cobbled-togther hypertech battlestation and perhaps singlepawedly preventing the remnants of humanity below on Earth from being destroyed by apocalyptic forces beyond their ken. She is also highly distractible and very, very lonely. The station is definitely not haunted.
Kitty Cat Kill Sat is a sci-fi story chock full of humor as our main character (literally) dashes from one crisis to the next, solving things with ingenuity and spunk. It is also full of heart: she questions why she's here, what she's doing, and most of all yearns for someone else to talk to. I sincerely believe that this story is a unique gem that anyone who's even marginally interested in sci-fi should read.
