Synopsis

RECOVERING LITTER ADDICTS Moxie and Cooper guide you through nine steps to leaving litter behind. Combining a funny, visually stunning book with an utterly practical guide, Kick Litter features two photogenic cats (and the big guy who feeds them) taking their message of recovery from litter addiction to the masses. Conceived and written by Hollywood web designer (and reluctant cat whisperer) Perre DiCarlo and lushly designed and packaged by the prestigious San Francisco firm Chen Design Associates, Kick Litter is a great gift book for comedy and cat lovers alike.

Reviews
''Check out this adorable new book Kick Litter by Perre DiCarlo. It is the story of his two 'litter addicts' Moxie and Cooper and how they got over their addiction to the sandy stuff and now prefer porcelain. With some very hip graphics from San Francisco-based design firm Chen Design Associates, this little book would make a great gift for anyone considering making the change.''
--Modern Cat

''A charming handbook to help train kittens to use the toilet instead of the litterbox.''
--HOW Magazine Blog

''DiCarlo, tongue firmly in cheek, describes his successful effort to train his two adorable cats, Moxie and Cooper, to 'kick' their litter habit and learn to use the toilet . . . Each cat confesses to being a 'litter addict.' - 'Litter gave my life meaning' Moxie tells us . . . Enjoy Kick Litter. It's a funny, beautifully designed and photographed book, a perfect gift for a cat lover.''
--Cat Channel

''Kick Litter pokes fun at the concept and offers tips on how to train your kitty to use the pot. It's a small, tongue-in-cheek instructional written in the voice of the author Perre DiCarlo's cats, Moxie and Cooper, who conquered their 'addiction' to kitty litter and bonded with the bowl.''
--People Magazine's People Pets

''Cooper and Moxie aren't your average Internet cats, LOLing their way to stardom like most pidgin-speaking online felines. No, these two kitties are less interested in 'hasing cheezburgers,' and more so in staunchly advocating the trading of kitty litter for being trained to worship the porcelain god.''
