About This Book

An alien mind inhabits local beach creatures and learns to use a domestic cat to communicate with human explorers in a landed spacecraft. The alien contrasts its single, communal consciousness with the visitors' multiple independent minds, manipulates the cat to speak, and negotiates an exchange of information while concealing aspects of its nature. The narrative explores cross-species communication, cultural misunderstanding, and the ethical risks of using others' minds as instruments of contact.
