Tales from the Warm Paw: Boofy & Muffy — Short Stories · Volume One

Ten cozy short stories from the Warm Paw café - narrated, as ever, by the cat. Pull up the wobbly table (it's wobbly on purpose). Between the novels of the Boofy and Muffy series live these ten quiet, standalone tales - small hours in the life of a plant-based cottage café and the three big, gentle men who keep it: Boofy the mountain, who builds things and says almost nothing; Hiroshi the warm one, who bakes and weeps at a good crust; Rico the eagle, who travels light and calls these three his family - all of it kept, and recorded, by Muffy, the ginger Maine Coon who runs the floor. No novel required. Each story stands on its own: a sick-day rice ball; an empty chair and the two words that carry it; a storm someone quietly readied weeks before it came; a closed-day sauna and one very small towel; a winter night under wild eagles; and a tea-table where four friends trade the things they've never said out loud. Inside Volume One: - Ten standalone stories - grief, comedy, and the kind of love that shows up as small gestures- Narrated by Muffy: dry, observant, devoted- The café's whole found family - Boofy, Hiroshi, Rico, and the regulars- Spoiler-safe: read before, after, or instead of the novels- The Kindle edition includes ten original illustrations, one per story Tales from the Warm Paw, Volume One. A companion collection to the Boofy and Muffy series - cozy, plant-based, and quietly profound. Written in collaboration with AI tools under the author's direction and editorial oversight.
