Let Sleeping Cats Lie

An amusing collection of pet poems from master wordsmith Brian Bilston.

Please don't think me lazy,
I'm not trying to slack—
it's just that I'm stuck, you see,
under this cat.

This collection of poems focuses on the hilarious happenings in the lives of our fur-friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies.

The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between. Whether you're happy or feeling 'mews'-erable and in desperate need of a 'pup'-lifting read, this book is the 'ulti-mutt' remedy.
