About GalactiCats
The Book/Author
Phillip Wolf began writing GalactiCats in the mid-1990s. But life happened, and he filed the manuscript with other unfinished stories. Wolf's idea for GalactiCats was about cats in space on a mission to stop two villains from stealing their planet's cat litter to achieve galactic domination. However, other dangers would emerge during their mission, spawning new stories.
Thirty-two years later, Wolf cleaned out the old filing cabinet and revisited his unfinished story, added new characters based on the real pets he adopted over the years, and completed Volume One of the series.

Pickles and Roaches
PICKLES, a cyborg unicorn, is a striking fusion of mythical grace and advanced technology. Her spiral horn houses a quantum computer, glowing with a pulsing light. Sleek chrome cybernetics cover roughly 60% of her body, seamlessly merging with her pearlescent white coat. Her left eye is entirely mechanical, featuring multiple scanning capabilities. She moves with an unsettling combination of equine fluidity and mechanical precision.
ROACHES, a tiny mechanical roach roughly the size of a thumb, is constructed from polished titanium alloy with copper wire accents. His compound eyes glow a soft yellow when he processes information. Six articulated legs allow for precise movement across any surface, and his antennae serve as multi-purpose scanning devices.
