A lovable and heroic kitty must prevent climate “apawcalypse” in this wildly original, humorous science-fiction novel.

2000: There’s still hope. Tara is a teenage activist who can’t persuade anybody of anything; her approach needs a less zealous vibe. (Blink isn’t born yet, but Tara listens to a lot of Blink-182.)
The future Dr. Switcher discovers a way back to her stubborn younger self … and if she can’t alter the darkest timeline, then maybe Blink can. The Time Meowchine is a story of friendship across the multiverse that will leave readers purring.
