Spring is in the air so let there be poetry! In feline fitting style we found a new poetry book called “I’m Not Sorry: Poems by Cats” that was just released (March 2018) on Amazon. The cats who authored its various poems have destroyed curtains, scratched couches, bitten hands, shredded toilet paper… and they are not sorry.
So to celebrate their paw-someness, they decided to share these insightful and funny poems written by themselves.
With titles like “It’s 6 a.m., time to wake up”, “I hate the vet”, “Oops, I did it again”, “Let me in”, and “Red dot, red dot”, this collection of laugh-out-loud poems offers a cat’s view on common wacky and exasperating feline behavior. See a few examples for yourself.
It’s a perfect gift for crazy cat lovers who appreciate hilarious insights into the feline psyche.
We caught up with their co-writer (Rosa Silva) who was kind enough to offer 5 Purrington Post readers the chance to WIN a copy. Contest details below:
