A Cat's Perspective

Books that are written from a feline's perspective or include sections from their perspective! Cats definitely have the ability to write books, they just choose not to because they're busy taking naps and being gremlins. Please comment recommendations!! And let me know if any of these books actually don't have a cat's perspective.

Gonna read some with my white 15 year old grumpy baby cause he will always be the baby born in my closet

moski

i also have a white kitty!!! what’s yours named??

Gayandvibing

His name is whitey typing it in English makes it seem so stupid😭 What's yours named

sharky_97OP

He'll always be a baby!!! 💕💕 We need more baby lore!! What's his name? Why was he born in your closet??

Gayandvibing

His name is whitey and bro idk I had a few female cats who for some reason had babies in my closet the amount of clothes I had to throw away😭 One also had a baby on my blanket on the floor. makes me feel good cause they felt the safest in my room🥹 In his case we didn't even know the mom was pregnant I'm pretty sure she was already pregnant when we got her she was also white but with green eyes. Whitey has the prettiest light blue eyes🩵

sharky_97OP

Omg you've been honoured with the title "safest human for our babies to meet"!!! Whitey sounds adorable 🫶🫶🫶 please give him extra kisses from us
