The Man-Kzin Wars | 
The Kzin are one of my favourite alien species, which I'm reminded of while reading Ringworld, which features Kzinti warrior-diplomat, Speaker-to-Animals. Think Klingons crossed with tigers and you're somewhere close (but don't get too close!).
Speaking of Klingons, the Kzin are an official Star Trek race as they appear in the Animated Series episode, The Slaver Weapon, an adaptation by Niven of his classic story, The Soft Weapon.
Bookwomble Amazingly, I found a Kzinti-shaped chocolate lollipop today! (And anybody suggesting it's just a tiger is wrong! 🐯) 6h
Luke-XVX Those covers! 6h
Ruthiella That‘s clearly a Kzin and NOT a tiger! 😜 6h

Bookwomble @Luke-XVX They're cool, no! The covers for the others I have in the series incorporate foil, so they look splendid but photograph poorly. 6h
Bookwomble @Ruthiella Affirmative! 🫡 6h
Luke-XVX Definitely conjures up an era of genre fiction for me. Same with old cheesy d&d novels, the art is cliched & terrible but I love it 5h
