Augh, "Strays"! I read that in some fantasy anthology or another as a teenager. I think it may have actually been one on "Warrior Princesses" or some other ostensibly cheery theme that promised triumph for valorous young ladies - and the book ended with "Strays", where all valor gets you is a house full of dead pets and a helping of murder for yourself. And maybe a posthumous revenge as an angry ghost-cat, if your best friend wasn't just hallucinating from the trauma of witnessing your murder.
And apparently the author habitually writes stuff EVEN MORE depressing? Sweet baby lizard, no!
