Are you familiar with Housepets! the webcomic? The author, Rick Griffin, has written an excellent short story.

If you want interesting sci-fi with a furry bent, read this.

Going into this story with no expectations, I found it utterly delightful and surprising.

The story's crux is an engineer who can't figure out why an android acts so human, because it shouldn't. That's an interesting premise, and it is a mystery that leads into unexpected places.

This story sidesteps a lot of previous material I've seen, of the what-is-human question you often see, of robots seeking to become human. Also it sidesteps any buildup about a robot war - that actually happened in the past, making the story post robot-war. Which is very refreshing.

The above, plus how short it is, and it's only $1.25, makes for a very enjoyable read. I want to see more written fiction by the author.
