CATS ARE TRENDING
Cats are getting more attention than ever before.
Last year cats began trending on the Internet and social media. We began to see cats in popular TV shows like And Just Like That where the character Che gives the iconic Carrie Bradshaw a kitten. On social media such as TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, cats took center stage in groups with titles like Cat Lovers. On Tiktok, cat enthusiasts post popular cat videos on the CatTok channel. With so much increased interest in our feline friends, a new book titled Kitty Wisdom: A Cat Lover’s Guide to Adopting and Caring for Kitties is being released for the new year.
Written by author Michelle Gamble, the book is her love letter to her two kitties, Slurpee and Icee. She wrote the book in a memoir style to share her adoption journey and all of the funny, entertaining moments she has shared with her fur babies. Gamble walks readers through the adoption process and then explores daily cat care. While describing these stories, she adds educational and important information every cat owner should know before adopting “kitty kids,” as she lovingly refers to as cats.
“I wanted to write something fun that would tell a great story while also educating readers about things like food, health, behaviors and their meanings, and humor to make people laugh while they learn,” said Gamble who is also a publisher and book marketing specialist. “I also asked other cat parents to share their funny cat stories, which I added to the back of the book.”
Gamble, who is a pet-rescue advocate, spent over a year writing and researching the book. “I learned a lot, especially about things that can poison kitties in your own home,” she said. “I also noticed more people than ever had adopted cats during the pandemic. I thought it’s important to understand that cats are like little people. They have feelings, emotions, and reasoning. I heard some owners, who adopted during the pandemic, turned around to abandon their furry friends once they returned to work, and I got upset. I’ve loved cats my whole life, and abandonment is unacceptable. People will read this book and gain insight into understanding that kitties have rights, too.”
Kitty Wisdom releases nationwide on Amazon in February 2024. In the meantime, advanced copies are available on the 3L Publishing and PR website at https://3l-publishing.myshopify.com/products/kitty-wisdom-a-cat-lovers-guide-to-adopting-and-caring-for-kitties.
