I'm particularly fond of "The Tesla Coils of the Feline King".
So am I; that is one of my all-time favorite tales from the golden age of pulp SF. Though the language of the tale is somewhat dated by modern standards (never mind that science has conclusively proven that Tesla coils cannot be used as an effective form of mind control), I found it to be a rollicking, fast-paced adventure yarn that kept me thoroughly enraptured to the very last page. Of course, it didn't hurt that the author took the time to describe the seductive nature of the titular antagonist in great detail.
Sadly, the book has been out of print so long that most most book catalogs don't list it at all, and I'm afraid I lost my copy ages ago. Otherwise, I would have long since lent it to you. I think you would have liked it...
