Any Recommendations for a Hurt/Comfort Shifter story? (Preferably Cat-shifter)

[W_L]

Going on holiday in a few weeks and want to read something relaxing/gets my mind away from RL stuff.

Trying to hunt down a shifter story with a cat shifter as one of the main characters with a hurt/comfort background. 

Most shifter stories are focused on Wolves/Dogs or other animals/creatures (Dragons and Foxes  ), even in published MM romances, I haven't encountered one yet with a cat shifter that isn't an underground novel. Any GA authors have any ideas?

I could write one on my holiday, but I'd like to turn my mind off and enjoy a cute story.

Have a look at @astone2292 he likes to write about the unusual shifter.

I checked, but I don't think @astone2292 has done a cat shifter. Seems weird few people have attempted that kind of story, preferring traditional dog/wolf shifters. There's plenty of cats in our daily lives.

Cats have some interesting quirks too (Being picky, possessive, irrationally feisty, and licking unlike dogs for cats doesn't always mean affection), could be fun to explore a different dynamic rather than the Alpha-dog/wolf dynamic. 

Anyway I should stop thinking about a cat shifter story...I don't want to start another personal project with low readership on a fun tangent for exploring uncharted areas.

Not as a main character, no. I do have a secondary lion-shifter character in my trilogy, but his backstory isn't mentioned much until the final book. Current WIP has a tirtiary orange-furred cat shifter who is a CIA agent, if that counts.

What, you mean my short mole-shifter tale?

@craftingmom's Tales of the Neko features cat-like creatures, but it's not a shifter story.  Still a highly-recommended read though.

@Yeoldebard has quite a few neko stories, cat like creatures and others.

I do have a cat who turns into a wolf (a couple of them, actually). Stories of note include Damian's Wolf and Connor and the Wolves.

I did find one older cat shifter series: Fur, Fangs, and Felines series by M.A. Church from 2015.

I'll add that to my audible credits queue.

There's another story as well called Claws by Stella Rainbow from 2021, it's free on Kindle Unlimited, so I'll grab it as well.

8 stories for 9 days at a resort, I think I am good

Not sure if you are still looking but I know Stormy Glenn published also with cat shifter, Assassin's Pride series I found cute.

There is some limited shifter activity in @Backwoods Boy's story "Indian Summer," and it is a great story even though the shifter aspects show up later in the story, not at the beginning.  The cat involved is a mountain lion.
