Writing is hard. Getting published is even harder…unless you are a cat.

Yes, you read that right, cats have beaten me to something yet again. The tree climbing incident does not count. Thanks a lot furry wonders, now my mum has another reason to love her cat more than me.

Anyway, behold 6 books written by cats (and not by me). All these books hand out Kibble size bits of wisdom and a whole lot of laughs in true feline style.

Texts from Mittens

Mittens, a snappy housecat has started texting: nothing and no one is safe. Texts from Mittens is a hilarious book filled with phone texts from Mittens to her owner.

There are texts about dying? of starvation to the vindictive I am sitting on your black pants lol? texts. Mittens are perceptive and the banter between her and her owner is realistic and well done. This is a book for any cat lover. You can purchase on Amazon by clicking here.

The Silent Miaow: A Manual for Kittens, Strays, and Homeless Cats

This is a classic. And by classic I mean the cat wrote this out on a typewriter back in 1985. The Silent Miaow is a hand guide for other cats on how to manipulate humans.

This is like the Da Vinci Code for us cat owners; we can see the truth now. The book is eccentric and has the feline author handing out helpful hints to strays on how to get adopted. My fellow humans, we are being duped. Purchase this fine read on Amazon by clicking here.

So, if you are looking for a gift or just want to understand (good luck in trying) your cats better then these books are great. They are funny and have enough heart to make you forgive your cat for its transgressions or save a stray without knowing why. What lies, we all know why – cats are the best.
