By Stephen Taylor

Identity Paw-Lick-Tics: A Brief Ethnographic Survey of the History and Significance of American Cat Surnames presents a satirical examination of identity and interpersonal relationships through the prism of cats and their purported family names. A sendup of social science studies and their portentous reporting, Identity Paw-Lick-Tics seeks to gently mock cat culture, academia, and concepts of identity in general.
