Grab the can opener and curl up in the sun with this hilarious collection of cat poems, from the creator of The Smell of Wet Dog.

Can we talk about the litter box?
You can smell that stench for blocks and blocks
If your bathroom had that stink
You'd clean it up, that's what I think!

It's the cat's world, and we're all just living in it. From furniture shredding to warm laundry hamper naps, stinky litter boxes to sandpapery kisses, true cat lovers know the frustrations and joys are really all one and the same.

Tuna Breath sends up the many quirks of our favorite self-domesticated overlords, from the things we wish they'd dial down to the reasons we have to love them anyway. Barney Saltzberg's zany-adorable illustrations appear throughout, adding panache to uproarious feline free verse.
