All Cats Are Introverts

By Francesco Marciuliano

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller I Could Pee on This: Poems by cats who just need a little “me time.”

Have you ever been labeled as “antisocial” because you’d rather stay home on the couch, “shy” because you don’t like big parties, or “lost in your own thoughts” because you don’t realize someone’s been calling your name 148 times? The cats understand. All Cats Are Introverts is a collection of self-reflective poetry from cats that clearly shows them to be the insightful, often alert, crowd-averse, personally engaging, probably napping-as-we-speak introverts of the animal kingdom. Enjoy this completely relatable and hilarious book, and perhaps you will soon see the cat—and even yourself—in a whole new light.

INTRODUCTION

Do you so enjoy having the house to yourself that when your roommate returns you don’t greet them at the door but rather claim the couch while sitting on all three remotes?

Do you get so wrapped up in your own head that it can be hours before you realize someone has been repeatedly calling your name, followed by the words Stop eating the plants!

Do you so look

Reviews for All Cats Are Introverts

[maydacat_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

You may see your cat in these poems, but you may also see yourself or someone you know, too. Some of these poems really nail cat behavior in a humorous way, others are more poignant. The accompanying photos are charming and the marriage between poem and photo is perfection in each case. Put this book in a handy place: you’ll want to read again and share it with friends.

From Francesco Marciuliano, author of I Could Pee On This, comes All Cats Are Introverts, another great cat-centric collection of poetry! These poems so perfectly capture the essence of the introvert, and the cat alike. Most start out self-reflective and serious, then you reach the poem's end and out comes the cat! These are all soooo hilarious. A sure cure for a down day, certain to have you laughing out loud. Perfect for all the cat lovers out there. I highly recommend I Could Pee On This as well, for a double dose of sassy cat poems.***Many thanks to the Netgalley & Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
