Gentlemen, let me congratulate you on a fantastic series of pod casts. I'm really enjoying each episode and anxiously awaiting the day when you cover Peace, and the Book of the New Sun. In regards to this story, I was immediately reminded of "The Island of Doctor Moreau". Kitty is the Puma woman fulfilling the role Moreau had in mind. The concept is still quite jarring, although not quite so much as it was in the late Victorian era.
