A small book of poetry. My favorite is "Do not go peaceably to that damn vet". They are based on the poetry of Shakespeare, Dickinson, Chaucer, Yates, and other classics.

What a delightfully silly and clever read. A must for feline fans.

Brilliantly written cat-themed parodies of many well known poems. Beard cleverly captures the style of each writer with wit that all cat owners (or should I say servants) can relate to. Two of my favourites are Hamlet's Cat's Soliloquy by Shakespeare's cat and Meowl by Allen Ginsberg's cat.
