I Could Pee on This and other Poems by Cats

International Bestseller that launched a thousand cat memes—this wickedly funny collection of feline poetry captures exactly what your cat is thinking (and it’s hilarious).

Francesco Marciuliano, the brilliant mind behind the syndicated comic strip Sally Forth, has cracked the code of cat consciousness. Through poems like “Who Is That on Your Lap?,” “This Is My Chair,” and the titular “I Could Pee on This,” he gives voice to the imperious, baffling, utterly lovable creatures who rule our homes. These aren’t just cute verses—they’re sharp, observant, and sometimes delightfully inappropriate glimpses into the feline psyche.

Each poem is paired with photos of the “authors” themselves, making this compact treasure feel like a coffee table book you can actually hold in one hand. The humor lands somewhere between Shel Silverstein’s whimsy and your cat’s 3 AM zoomies—absurd, endearing, and surprisingly profound.

Whether your cat is judging you from the windowsill right now or kneading your stomach at dawn, you’ll recognize these moments instantly. It’s the perfect gift for the cat parent in your life (or yourself—you deserve it), ideal for birthdays, holidays, or those “congratulations on your new kitten” occasions.

Fair warning: Some of the kitty authors have salty vocabularies, so this one’s best for adult cat enthusiasts who appreciate humor with claws.
