Cat Droppings and Hairballs

By Chas McDougall

Capturing the independence and personality of the cat through poem and prose may have been done best in the lost scripts of Hy-Brasil, but alas, they are still lost and of questionable existence. So here, observation, legend and science have been blended in fanciful drollery entirely for the pleasure of you the reader. Submerse yourself in furry rhyme, partake in high adventure with Feral Cat and Domestic Cat, act all sophisticated and cultured as you critique the fine artwork by two soon to be renowned artists, and most of all congratulate yourself on a fine purchase, knowing you are the first person on your block to jump into the latest literary masterpiece!
If you enjoy the quirkiness and eccentricities of our feline friends, then this book is for youor buy it for your cat.

Chas McDougall

A poet in a previous lifetime and currently a collector and consumer of the written word, our author particularly enjoys the classic novels and poetry of the early 19th Century. Being a huge fan of Morning Glories, Impressionist Painting, cats and spice, he believes in using nothing less than the heaping teaspoon of life’s ingredients. He is a follower of the philosophies of both Zorba the Greek and Buddha, believes in oneness, except when there is a need for many, and can be seen writing wherever there may be Zen in the air. His favorite writing spots are the beaches of New England and the arbor covered patio wherever they may be.
