The Secret Lives of the Pink House Cats: Prose Poems by Five Felines

by D.R. Ransdell

Synopsis

I made a pact with my brother
to never let Mama know

installed especially for us.
It was the prank of teenagers.

Five cats with minds of their own. What are they really thinking? Mostly they're plotting, mostly against their slave.

Read the prose poems by Bandit, Cosmo, Phantom, Ping, and Mei Mei as they terrorize visitors, periodically run away from home, bring back presents in the form of rodents, scratch at the furniture, and hide every time they hear that terrible “vet” word.

Cat owners will relate to each poem. Potential cat owners might be temporarily scared off. At the end of the day, though, who doesn't need a personal challenge?
