No Night Without Stars: A Novel | 
pickListed on LT as part of a series with Daybreak - they are published in a 2 in 1 but I'm not sure.
Plotwise the setups are pretty identical. Will the exiled smith survive the horrors of the postapocalyptic landscape and find a new home? But indicators that it's the same world as Daybreak aren't there, I think.
No telepathic cats. Telepathic dogs (?).
