+Slotted classes now transform `functools.cached_property` decorated methods to support equivalent semantics.

 You should avoid instantiating lots of frozen slotted classes (i.e. `@frozen`) in performance-critical code.
 
 Frozen dict classes have barely a performance impact, unfrozen slotted classes are even *faster* than unfrozen dict classes (i.e. regular classes).

+## Cached Properties on Slotted Classes.
+
+By default, the standard library `functools.cached_property` decorator does not work on slotted classes,
+because it requires a `__dict__` to store the cached value.
+This could be surprising when uses *attrs*, as makes using slotted classes so easy,
+so attrs will convert `functools.cached_property` decorated methods, when constructing slotted classes.
+
+Getting this working is achieved by:
+* Adding names to `__slots__` for the wrapped methods.
+* Adding a `__getattr__` method to set values on the wrapped methods.
+
+For most users this should mean that it works transparently.
+
+Note that the implementation does not guarantee that the wrapped method is called
+only once in multi-threaded usage.  This matches the implementation of `cached_property`
+in python v3.12.
