Fifty Catericks* and Pix: A Poetic Photo Tale. What Your Cat is Trying to Tell You.

Who doesn't like cute cat pictures and limericks? Even better when the cats dictate well composed cat limericks or "Catericks" in cat-speak. Who hasn't wondered what tabby is thinking when he stares at a cabinet knob for ten minutes?
At long last, this collection of paired poems and pictures provides critical insight into the inner thoughts and longings of a broad array of cats. These fabulous felines reveal a wide range of personalities and quirks that make them as diverse as snowflakes and almost as flaky. This little book is a fun ride for families of all ages.

ROGER BYHARDT is a retired radiation oncologist who lives with his wife, Marilyn Corlew, in Brookfield, Wisconsin. They provide meal service and other duties for Hobbes - their large, always-hungry, orange tabby cat. Roger has shared his home with numerous cats in the past. Roger's limerick writing expertise was honed on limericks dedicated to graduating radiation oncology residents. These lengthy and witty poems were a highlight of the annual departmental graduation ceremonies at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

MARILYN CORLEW is a retired speech-language pathologist. Her training in linguistics and language disorders has given her a love of words and the desire to be a wordsmith. She has been converted from a dog lover to enjoying the affection of Hobbes and his predecessor, Coco, a long haired tortoiseshell cat.
