The newest entry in the feline literary canon is here... so pee on this, cat poet wannabes
Hipster cats, stay-at-home-mom cats, windowsill cats, and outdoor cats―you’ll find them all here, immortalized in prose about, for, and sometimes by, cats. With a Brooklyn edge, author Jennifer McCartney ups the cool quotient on this burgeoning genre.
Of Mice and Men
There once was a cat who loved books
He liked bookshelves that had lots of nooks
He thought especially nice
The tomes about mice
One page and the kitty was hooked
From limericks to beat poems, haikus to sonnets, riffs on famous verse to original blank verse, there is something here for every cat lover to enjoy.

Review:
"A treat for poetry fans, animals lovers, and those just looking for a laugh. Who could resist this?!" Good Housekeeping
"Now, everyone can enjoy poems like "The Rodent Not Taken" ("I took the one less fit and spry/And that has made all the difference.") and "Ode to a Sunbeam." There's also beat poetry ("88 Lines About 44 Cats"), plus haiku and limericks. This is funny stuff for poets, cat lovers, poetic cats, catty poets and whoever else might appreciate a literarily inclined laugh." Bookpage
