“A Cat as a Wife, or Don’t Dream of Divorce, Dragon!” is a novel by Olga Korotaeva, part of the cycle “Plump-Humans-—Plump Drop-Ins/Pop-Ins of Olga Korotaeva,” a genre of humorous fantasy, about people who are transported to other worlds.
Staring at my reflection, I froze at the sight of a completely off-the-wall black cat.
“Just a dream!” I told myself and hurried away from the dreadful mirror toward the slightly ajar door.
“Marry the first one, who comes into this room!” I heard a horrific, growling voice. Then the same voice, mocking, added: “Or you’ll never see your niece… alive!”
Baba Zarya didn’t believe in omens. She rushed to save the black cat—and ended up getting hit by a car herself. Waking up in the body of that very cat, she somehow managed to marry a dragon at once. He’s going to get rid of the wife he never asked for at the first convenient opportunity? And don’t dream it, dragon!
