Have you ever read any other Heinlein books? It was one of his last books,
and they tended to be long and rambling compared to his earlier works. I'm a
big fan of his books, but mostly can't abide anything he published after the
late sixties. Cat is a particularly sore spot. It starts out like one of his
good older works, then halfway through veers off into his Lazarus Long
inter-universal cocktail party, and doesn't have an ending. If you haven't
read _The Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ and _Time enough for Love_, you won't
know who half the people are. It is responsible for the popularity of Pixel
as a cat name though.
