They allow me to write the craziest things about them and expose their deepest and darkest secretsyou know, like their affinity for watching me shower and do the rest of my bathroom business. A huge thanks to my editor at Running Press, Jennifer Leczkowski, whose cheerful communication, positive demeanor, and helpful guidance made the entire publishing experience a dream. Thank you to Matthew Frederick for the brilliant cover concept and Jason Kayser for the fabulous design. Much gratitude to Suzanne Wallace for her enthusiasm as the books publicist. Thanks to all my cat blogging buddiesyour friendship and support mean the world to me. Thanks to Dusty Rainbolt for assuring me I could do this and Nicky Westbrook for always listening to my crazy ideas and sharing ridiculous amounts laughter with me for more than 25 years.

I have endless appreciation and respect for my agent, Sorche Fairbank of Fairbank Literary Representation. She took a chance on me and generously shared her patience and knowledge with this literary newbie. Whiskerslist would not be what it is without her collaboration and willingness to dissect and discuss the most ridiculous cat-related scenarios with me. Shes the best. Lastly, the support and encouragement of my family has been immeasurable. They gave me quiet space to write, told me they were proud of me, and kept laughing even when they were sick to death of looking at silly cat photos.

My infinite love and gratitude goes to John, Katie, Ben, Mom, Harlan, and Maureen. Thank you for loving me and letting me be weird.

Have you ever wondered what your cats are up to when left alone? Forget the expense of a nanny camI have proof. Despite their best efforts at keeping the whole operation private, weve uncovered evidence revealing what really happens the minute youve left the house. Lack of opposable thumbs be damned! Before your cars reached the bottom of the driveway, the cats already fired up your laptop and logged onto whiskerslist.com, the hub for online felines looking to: find a meaningful relationship, missed connection, or quick hookup. weigh in on discussions about two-timing toms, post-kittens weight loss, and stupid human tricks. rant about the repulsive neighbor dog that keeps humping the mailman or the other cat who keeps stinking up the litter box. locate a class to learn tips for great hiding spots, master the art of looking away while being photographed, or discover creative ways to reuse hairballs. find support groups for where they can fly their mixed-breed freak flag and break compulsive behavior like cord chewing and string swallowing. hire a lawyer to go after the bastards who keep changing your brand of litter, post embarrassing photos of you in costume, or worse, or engage in feline genital mutilation. ... and thats just whats been posted in the last hour. and thats just whats been posted in the last hour.

The whiskerslist cat community is steadily gaining members, and as more of these fuzzy little wi-fi weasels plug in passwords, we humans stand to lose more and more control. I shudder to imagine the day I happen across an ad for female human for sale: passable lap size, leaves OK amount of food unattended on kitchen counter, shoes moderately stinky, buys crappy toys... make an offer. That time is not that far away, friends. What to do? Read this book carefully and become familiar with the type of activity thats happening right under your nose. Frequently change the wi-fi password and monitor your cat(s), looking for signs of suspicious behavior.

It also might not be a bad idea to start buying better cat toys. With urgency, I beg you to start reading now, but do it behind closed doors... theyre watching. wilmington whiskerslist > community > groups
