The Tub Full of Cats (audio story)

 was the thirty-fifth Bernice Summerfield audio story released by Big Finish Productions. It was the first story of the eighth season.

Publisher's summary
Negotiations have failed and the Braxiatel Collection now sits within a warzone.

Bernice and Maggie are racing back to the Collection with something that may just help bring an end to all the fighting - or at least protect their home.

That something is a man, Maggie's father and the would-be killer of Bernice's own husband. His name: Irving Braxiatel.

But the Collection is on the far side of the Mim blockade, and there's no possible way they can get through.

They'll just have to do something impossible...

Plot
As the Draconians and the Mim reinforce their blockades, Benny and Maggie prepare to head to the Braxiatel Collection in Gravity's Rainbow with Braxiatel, whom they find has placed himself in a null field in a casket so that his presence aboard the ship goes unnoticed. Autumn Wit Chanticleer, the navigator, informs them that, for tax reasons, the ship legally belongs to the five cats on board. Two days after setting off, Benny manages to wake Braxiatel up and accuses him of hiding from her and Maggie, allowing him to return to his sleep but warning him that Jason and everybody else on the Collection will not be happy to see him.
