This reminded me of Peter Grant for female nymphomaniacs. Not really my thing, I find the cat thing disturbing, never mind anything else. The book’s description doesn’t mention what I would consider excessive sexual activity, which I have no problem with in fiction if it gets us anywhere, but I think I’d have preferred a work focusing on the hacking reality, more than the rampant sexual gratification of a witch cat.
