Cat Nips: The Comprehensive Cookbook for the Culinary-Minded Cat

A cookbook for cats with discriminating palettes, Cat Nips is a collection of charming and hilarious "recipes" for everything from Creamy Critter Dip ("anything with more than four legs will do") to Termite Teriyaki ("do not stir with a wooden spoon if using live termites") and from Beetles Bechamel ("serve over Cat-scratch Biscuits") to Blackbird Pie ("serve with a pocketful of rye"). Includes handy and hilarious "field" guides to mice, birds, predators and other critters, as well as cat-centric measurement and substitution charts (but there is no substitute for mice).

Anyone with an affinity for a finicky feline will enjoy this Cat-alogue of Cat-ering possibilities for their beloved four-legged gourmet.

Kitty Krocker's longstanding interest in the culinary arts began when she noticed that her domestics had the audacity to serve canned food at all meals (except, shockingly, their own). After much effort (mostly on her part), she has trained them to prepare dishes guaranteed to satisfy the discriminating palate. In discussions with her feline friends, she discovered that many of them had gone through a similar process. Thus was born her brainchild - a cat cookbook written clearly enough for a human to understand.

Kitty lives in Catalina, California with her kittens Kaitlin, Kris and Kelvin and her husband Tom. Like all cats, she values her privacy and cat-egorically refuses all interviews.
