The Catswold Portal, also written by Murphy and originally published in 1992, is a sort of prequel to the Joe Grey series. Although not part of the Joe Grey series, The Catswold Portal is similar in that it also involves talking magical cat-people. The story takes place in the same locale as the Joe Grey series, only earlier, and explains the origins of the talking cats and how they came to be.
