I got this in a bundle last year and only now read itand I'm glad I did! Such a cute, fluffy story. Love it. I guess now I gotta buy the sequel so I can haz moar.
My mind is divided between "the goddess wasn't actually in trouble and just wanted to give them a chance to help her so she'd have an excuse to help them" and "I'm autistic and the cat being stuck on the tree and unable to run away because she was paralyzed from the sounds is something I deeply identify with". I like both interpretations.
Anyway, lovely story, I had to take pauses to process my emotions a bit, but they were ultimately good emotions.
the world of Cat Wishes is a wonderful place to explore, and it leaves you with a wonderful message that i think a lot of people living in the world today need to hear. even if you don't have The Genders, you should read this book.
I got My Friends And I Were Granted Three Wishes By A Cat Goddess And I Swear I Got Distracted When My Turn Came Around from the Indie bundle for Palestinian Aid. I usually don't read novels, but it's extremely long title interests me, and I've decided to read My Friends And I Were Granted Three Wishes By A Cat Goddess And I Swear I Got Distracted When My Turn Came Around.
It's.... This brought me back to the first time I saw a role play forum. Okay so it's a bunch of people... taking a role of a character, no big deal. I decided to check out one of the ongoing role play. One of the roleplay had such fantastical story settings I myself have never imagined of. It's so out of this world!
Then... I saw the character sheets. Essays of extremely intricate and deep backstories of each character. These characters were obviously written by people that I don't even know, so I wouldn't know if their character reflects their real personality, they might be as well faking it! It's the first time I thought to myself that I can be whatever I want to be. I've never thought of being someone else before then! The amazing story settings, combined with the fantastical characters, makes my imagination go wild as I began to think of such possibilities. I even thought that these might be real, because I believed that "nothing is impossible" and "anything could happen".
This book, aptly named "My Friends And I Were Granted Three Wishes By A Cat Goddess And I Swear I Got Distracted When My Turn Came Around", evoked those aforementioned moments that was forgotten until now. The difference is that now my knowledge has vastly expanded, and I'm now a more rational person. Now, I wish I could be in that world, be... a Catperson™, but my present self would think that I'm batshit crazy for believing such an imaginary thing. Idk man, let's just hope that bioengineering becomes a reality in our lifetime and we can all be Catpersons™. Lol.
Very fun read and overall lighthearted and lovely. I always love good endings and people figuring out to love themselves and enjoy who they want to be. I would gladly read more about these characters <3
This is an adorable journey of self discovery. It was very wholesome and I could feel the vulnerability in the struggle to fully accept one's self. I look forward to reading more of your work. The feels. Tabbi was such a neat character and felt easy to relate to.
You can't really help others if you don't take care of your own happiness, it's unsustainable. It's a powerful lesson I wish I learned earlier in life. Thanks for all the feels :D <3 :3
I loved how you changed the pronouns of the characters to reflect their own understanding of themselves, and how other characters just instantly accepted that change.
It felt so validating, like saying, “It’s okay if you don’t understand yourself perfectly – or what you would wish for – the first time around.” We’re all personal works in progress, and it’s okay to learn and grow.
Reading this brought tears to my eyes for just about 75% of it just because I so deeply related to all the gender feels and especially struggles with feeling selfish for taking care of yourself. I'd also be lying if I said I wasn't deeply jealous since I can't be a catgirl in real life!

Thank you for the kind words! I also like both interpretations, which is why I'm happy to neither confirm nor deny either one. ^^
A fun romp through gender identity. Also KITTY! I had trouble putting it down.
damn thats a long title
omg INCREDIBLE!! thank you so much! <3
I got this in a bundle and didn't expect much beyond a casual, light read, but it's just so wholesome.

This story struck way too close to home and legitimately made me cry. Wonderful writing. <3

Awwwwwwwww this was so cute and fluffy and really really relatable <333333333
Oh my god I loved this, I had to take a break to lie down and happy scream into a pillow every couple minutes, extremely cute and relatable
An utter and complete delight. I read it in a single sitting, and I feel warm and happy. 💜
v good (and all too relatable in some places, had to go lie down for a bit), thoroughly recommend it.
I loved how you changed the pronouns of the characters to reflect their own understanding of themselves, and how other characters just instantly accepted that change.

Thank you again for another great story. <3
I absolutely love stories like this and I'm so glad it was included in the bundle, otherwise I would've never found this. I love your work!

Cheers, I'll drink to that. Feel completely the same.
