This week Michelle fern chats cats with Francesco Marciuliano, author of the New York Times Bestsellers, I Could Pee on This: And Other Poems by Cats and You Need More Sleep: Advice from Cats as well as other pet books.

Cats have many ways to say I love you. Sometimes it's a gentle purr and a slow blink. Sometimes it's a tiny dead animal offered in tribute. And sometimes, it's expressed in that deepest of cat love languages: poetry. His new book, Oh. It’s You: Love Poems by Cats (October) is a love-letter from the pets who want to convey their affection with more than head butts and love bites. Francesco has two sibling cats named Leelo and Kiki that inspire his work. He is also the writer of the syndicated comic strip, Sally Forth.
