1. Catnip-Fueled Cat Recites Kubla Kat Poem

Following on the success of I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems By Cats, Chronicle Books will publish I Could Chew on This and Other Poems by Dogs in September.

In the video embedded below, a real life galley cat eats some potent catnip and reads the trippy “Kubla Kat” poem from I Could Pee on This.

Both poetry collections were written by Francesco Marciuliano, the storyteller behind the syndicated Sally Forth comic strip. Tom Racine animated and read the poem.

2. Why You Were Right to Make That Big Mistake

First, I'd like to thank Powell's Books for having me as their guest blogger this week. It's been an absolute blast, made all the easier and more fun by the great people of this Portland institution. Second, by being a guest blogger, it's allowed that little picture of my book to appear over and over [...]

3. A Teenager’s Account of the Very First Thanksgiving

It's always heartening to hear that your book would make a great holiday gift. One, because I love the holidays to an almost frightening degree. (I live in a small New York City apartment where outside on my deck are two large bins — one for my 8-foot artificial Christmas tree, the other for my [...]

4. Writing So You Can Review Other People’s Writings

Some of the great things about getting my cat poetry book published — after failing to get my cat coffee table book (pictured to the left) published, my cat fitness book published, and my cat YA vampire book to be accepted by my printer — are all the perks that go with being an author. [...]

5. Man Up! And Other Masculine Tips by Cats

For years cat people have been portrayed as feeble-minded Ms. Havishams who make cozies for their sleeping pets and say things like, "My cat gives the best investment advice," or, "I hope there was an apostle named 'Muffins' because I just got a 13th tabby for my Last Supper tableau." Dog people, on the other [...]

6. A Day in a Life Spent Writing and/or Stalling

First, I would like to give a big "Thank You!" to Powell's for inviting me to guest blog this week. I'm sure it will be a great deal of fun right up until about Friday, at which point everyone will realize what a frightful mistake this has been and expunge all records of my posts [...]

7. Real Life Galley Cats Star in Book Trailer

Real life galley cats star in the book trailer embedded above, promoting the release of  I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems By Cats.

The poems were written by Francesco Marciuliano, the storyteller behind the syndicated Sally Forth comic strip. Chronicle Books brought the poems to life with voiceover and videos of some cute cats. Check it out:

Cat lovers will laugh out loud at the quirkiness of their feline friends with these insightful and curious poems from the singular minds of housecats. In this hilarious book of tongue-in-cheek poetry, the author of the internationally syndicated comic strip Sally Forth helps cats unlock their creative potential and explain their odd behavior to ignorant humans. With titles like “Who Is That on Your Lap?,” “This Is My Chair,” “Kneel Before Me,” “Nudge,” and “Some of My Best Friends Are Dogs,” the poems collected in I Could Pee on This perfectly capture the inner workings of the cat psyche. With photos of the cat authors throughout, this whimsical volume reveals kitties at their wackiest, and most exasperating (but always lovable).
