    That’s a good question. I guess feliform and caniform would be more correct, I’m sure I could latin or greek up the suffix. Or I could just stick with old english and whatever the correct word for “shape” is. Catthiew and Hundhiew maybe?

        Agreed. Catthiew is the protagonist, named after his human, Matthiew, whose parents spelled it that way to make his life difficult presumably. Other cats make fun of Catthiew’s name, some even regard him with suspicion, but Catthiew always assumed the legends were just that, legends, until one day he becomes a hundhiew and enters the shadowy world of lunar shapeshifters.

            Oh I don’t do preorders. Also for ethical reasons, but primarily because the mental weight of owing a crowd of strangers a book sounds petrifying. If you make a donation to the Humane Society in honor of Catthiew, I’ll consider that a pre-order and send everyone who makes one a free copy.

          lunar shapeshifters

          I’m pretty sure Catthiew turns into a dog after too much time spent basking in a sunbeam. All of a sudden he’s like: Wait a minute, why am I PANTING?!?
