I Am the Cat, Don't Forget That
I Am the Cat, Don't Forget That: Feline Expressions | Valerie Shaff, Roy Blount Jr.
7 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
What would cats say if they were of a mind to talk? Valerie Shaff and Roy Blount Jr. have a good idea ... On the heels of their hugely successful I Am Puppy, Hear Me Yap and If Only You Knew How Much I Smell You, Shaff and Blount have paired again, this time for a witty and insightful look at America's other favorite pet -- the cat. Shaff captures the essence of the ever-elusive cat in her gorgeous photographs, and Roy Blount Jr., who the New York Times says is "in serious contention for the title of America's Most Cherished Humorist," provides accompanying verse that seems to speak a cat's thoughts. The combined result is a touching and often hilarious take on the minds and hearts of felines. When I purr Don't infer It's because you pat. No, you pat Because I purr. I am the cat, Don't forget that.

Oh, Coale! This was from Friday night when @BookBabe & I had finished opening our presents and attempted to begin cleaning up. #Coale would have none of it! It was his play pile--all his--and it was to remain intact until he said otherwise. 😹😹😹 He was quite abusive and physically harassing. #catsofLitsy

WanderingBookaneer Cuteness! 😻 8y
Dolly LOL😂. It's obvious you must leave the paper there! 8y
Louise I agree with Coale! The Christmas paper mess is a glorious one and should remain as long as possible! 😂🎄👏🏼 8y

Redjewel_7734 It's the cat version of playing in piles of fall leaves☺ 8y
Zelma 😂😂😂 cats do rule the roost, don't they? 8y
Soubhiville Haha! Our cat claims the tissue paper, and snuggles under it like blankets. I'll have to try and get a pic and tag you. We let him keep it all in a cardboard box for now, because it made him so happy. 8y

Oh, #Coale! He's studying up on his music history for his upcoming appearance on "Jeopardy!". I'm so proud of our little guy ?. He hasn't stopped reading since I told him readers are leaders. He's such a savante. ? #catsofLitsy

SoniaC I tried explaining to my Sugar Bear that readers are leaders but she just snorted and walked away. Guess it's true cats rule dogs drool 😂😂😂 8y
Melkyl I love it! 8y

Dolly I think my Smirk is a follower. If she's not whizzing catnip toys past my head she's sleeping. 8y
OrangeMooseReads My Isabella is a firm believer in readers are leaders and can't wait to see #coale on Jeopardy! Hopefully it's not on a Thursday night as our station plays NFL games at Jeopardy! time. 8y
