Catku: What is the Sound of One Cat Napping?
by Pat Welch
$9.95 Hardcover

How might a cat express its innermost thoughts? Undoubtedly in haiku, the ancient 17-syllable form of poetry from China and Japan. With clever illustrations in the style of traditional Japanese woodcuts, this collection of more than 100 witty "catku" illuminate the Zen-like nature of the cat:

"Stealthy and silent, / I stalk birds but listen for / The can opener."
"Seeking solitude / I am locked in the closet. / For once I need you."

Catku will delight cat lovers who will recognize the feline attitude reflected in these verses and perhaps realize that the so-called lazy cat is really just in deep meditation, seeking the path to enlightenment while composing a few more catku.
