You guys!
Are you familiar with the hilarious Texts From Mittens pieces by Angie Bailey? If you aren’t, you’re totally missing out on some hilarious interactions between a woman and her cat.
For instance, check out this doozy:
Brilliant! Doze before bros! That’s TOTALLY within Cat Code.
Ok, ok. My turn. If I was going to text MomFOD, it would go like this:
C: Hey, MomFOD. My stump itches.
MF: That’s nice, CrapJack.
C: Will you come lick it for me?
MF: That’s gross. Lick your own stump.
C: But I want YOU to do it.
MF: No.
C: You hate me.
I don’t know. Was that as good as Mittens? He’s always got something so cool to say! I’ll keep thinking about it.
Anyway, the book just came out on March 31st and is now available anywhere you buy books, or click here to make it easy with an Amazon hardcover or Kindle purchase.
Are you convinced that you want to read it yet? YOU ARE?

My Bailey’s really jealous of Mitty. He sits on my shoulder and growls every time I try to read his dad Mittens’ latest text. I’ve taken to calling Mitty “You Know Who” but Bails is giving me the stink eyes just the same.
I’m a Maine Coon! A Maine Coon! I do not want to snuggle when the temperature reaches 82. Not ever! Leave me alone, Mamma. Mom? Where you going? Mom? MOM?!?! HUG ME!!
Good luck to our US friends ! Purrs
My cats would definitely text me about food.
Since all we do is think about food or eating, our text would definitely have something to do with that.
This book sounds awesome. I like funny and yet real to life.

We already did our giveaway and have a copy but wanted to say A: the book is awesome and B: dad could have a new biz doing book promos.
We LOVE Texts With Mittens!
If Mistletoe could text me she would be complaining about having to live in a house with 3 boy cats….especially Hitch, because he spends a lot of time chasing her. Hitch would text asking why Mistletoe won’t play with him. He keeps trying to start a game of Chase butshe just hisses. Thank heavens they can’t text. They already manage to make their feeling known without adding the tech world to it.
Thank you for the awesome review, giveaway, and VIDEOS! You guys are the best!! xoxo
Norville: whoa is me
Mom: what’s wrong boy?
Norville: the girls have no respect for my positon as tomcat of the house
Mom: what happened?
Norville: Sheba whacked me on the head three times
Mom: why?
Norville: all I did was greet her
Mom: did it involve sniffing her personals?
Norville: of course
Mom: well that was a taste of Tortitude. Her way of saying she didn’t like your greeting.
Norville: they should show some respect. I do a lot around here.
Mom: you do?
Norville: yes. When you release the growling, sucking beast do i not lead the way to safety?
Mom: you are the first out of the room.
Norville: and when you bring home catnip do i not lie on it to protect it from the invading hoards?
Mom: true, no one but you can get to it.
Norville: and the girls show me no respect.
Mom: perhaps a can of wet food would make you feel better.
Norville: hurry up before the girls hear you open the can, i need to test each bowl for quality.
