If you are looking for a great book with non-human characters, look no further!
Mort(e) is the story of a cat who suddenly finds himself (along with all other animals) able to think, understand, and overthrow their human oppressors. How can this be? The ants. Over centuries, ants have been studying humans and eventually develop a hormone that makes animals sentient.
All hell breaks loose.
Mort(e) the beloved house cat (previously knows as Sebastian) becomes a soldier, but really just wants to find his old friend Sheba, the dog from next door. He fights the humans, and fights their bioweapon called EMSAH.
But the remaining humans believe he is their savior, and that he will help them defeat the ant queen once and for all. Will he? Will he find Sheba? What exactly is EMSAH?
This is a great dystopian novel with a damning commentary on humanity and our proclivities towards superstition and religion.
