The cat that sat... and shat. There is a cat. There was a place the cat was not supposed to go, and the cat went there, and now there is a situation, and the situation requires documentation because the cat will not remember this conversation. The cat that shat has shat in the shoe. The cat that shat has shat in the plant. The locations are documented. The cat's awareness of the locations is not documented because the cat does not have awareness. The cat has a system. The system is: wherever seemed correct at the time. This book is the record of everywhere that seemed correct.
This adult parody book is gross-out comedy about a subject that every cat owner has a story about and that no illustrated book in the cat genre has addressed with this level of specificity. The cat sat. The cat shat. The cat proceeded as if none of this had happened because the cat exists on a plane where the past is not a concept. The documentation is therefore the responsibility of the humans, and this book is the documentation, and the documentation is surprisingly extensive.
This Book IS For:- Cat owners who have had the specific discovery experience this book documents and needed a book to share at the vet
- Fans of rhyming gross-out humor that earns its laugh from committing to the premise through every single location
- Anyone who has cleaned up something they would rather not have been cleaning up and needed it acknowledged in illustrated form
- Gift-givers looking for a cat book that is honest about cats in a way that cat books rarely are
- Cat owners whose cats have never done this, which is a population size too small to constitute a meaningful market
- Readers who believe the word shat in a title indicates a quality level that exceeds the book's actual quality level
- People who are very attached to the dignity of cats as a concept and find this premise insulting to the species
- Anyone currently cleaning something and reading this description, who has enough context already
- Gifts for cat owners... any cat owner, anywhere, who has a cat, because all of them have this story
- White elephant exchanges where the title gets read aloud and that's the whole moment right there
- Housewarming gifts for people who just adopted a cat and don't yet know what they've signed up for
- Gag gifts for the friend whose cat stories start with you're not going to believe where I found it
The cat gift market is enormous. The cat content market is larger. Neither of those markets has produced a book called The Cat That Shat until this one, which is an oversight that the market has now corrected. The cat shat. The locations are documented. The investigation is complete. The cat is indifferent to the investigation. The investigation has been published anyway because someone decided it needed to be and they were right.
Buy it for a cat owner. Buy it for someone who just got a cat and will laugh now and recognize it more specifically later. Buy it for yourself if you have a cat that has done this in a location you have not yet forgiven. The book will not address the specific location your cat chose. The book will confirm that your cat's choice was consistent with a pattern. That confirmation costs less than the item the cat chose. That's value. The cat shat. Now there's a book about it.
