\"Let's<\/a>

If you’ve got a cat with a great story to tell, we’d love to hear from you!<\/p><\/div>\n

Cat sleep on your head? Bring you gifts at night? Act like a dog? Steal your food? Cause you to LOL or scratch your head in puzzlement with whatever funny, strange, silly, or oddball behavior they are exhibiting at the moment? The weirder the better and I say bring it on! As a matter of fact, I\u2019m reaching out to you, my dear Zee\/Zoey readers, with an opportunity to be featured in my next book (title to be disclosed at a future date) to share the zany!<\/p>\n

I know you\u2019ve seen it firsthand \u2013 let\u2019s face it, if you read this blog, you’re already an expert in cat weird. And let\u2019s be honest, who wouldn\u2019t want to be featured in a book about cats?! It\u2019s simple \u2013 all I need is a few sentences or a very brief paragraph<\/strong> (75 words or less) describing either the weirdest habit your cat has (or had \u2013 this can be an angel cat), OR<\/strong> the weirdest habit\u00a0YOU<\/strong> have as a result of being a cat\u00a0parent.<\/p>\n

Let me give you a cat parent example \u2013 regardless of the fact I know I lock the front door when I leave the house for work<\/strong>, I will still shake on the handle several times to make sure. Then in an act of complete paranoia, after I walk a few steps away, I will walk back to the door to check it again to make sure it\u2019s locked. I know, weird, huh?<\/p>\n

How about a weird cat habit? Hmmm\u2026 my cat Mia likes to jump up on top of my head to settle in for a nap after I get out of the shower and wrap my head in a towel.<\/p>\n

So, you tell me \u2013 what weird do you have to share? Strange stuff your cat eats, litter box etiquette, weird toys your cat likes to play with, outrageous stuff your cat has done to your boyfriend, or odd places your cat likes to nap. Or maybe your cat has done something heroic, like woken you up to let you know you left the stove on. Or how about you \u2013 just what crazy lengths have you gone to for the love of your cat \u2013 the sky\u2019s the limit when it comes to stuff we can share and I welcome thoughts across the board.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve got an idea of what I\u2019m looking for, I\u2019ll fill you in on the basics. I\u2019m writing the book \u2013 the input I get from you is to compliment the story and is not the book itself \u2013 that\u2019s why I only want very brief examples to pepper within the book. The bottom line is, with over 70 million cats living on the streets and in shelters, I want to bust the\u00a0myth that cats are too aloof and independent to make good pets (a reason they are often passed up for adoption) by writing a book that exposes all the wonderful personality quirks cats have that make them so endearing!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m hoping for a fall\/winter 2016 publication date, but I really won\u2019t know for sure until I get closer to completing the project. If you\u2019d like to participate, please send me your crazy\u00a0to\u00a0info@zzppublishing.com <\/a>for consideration. Be sure to include your name and how you would want me to credit you in the book if chosen. For example, Your Name, Title\/Occupation, City, and State. And if you have a picture to document the weirdness, even better! I can\u2019t say it will be used, but you never know (high-resolution\u00a0photos only 240dpi\u00a0or 300dpi).<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep you in the loop as things progress \u2013 I\u2019m super excited for this new project and I think you\u2019ll love it too!! Submissions are open world-wide – if you are chosen, I will send a standard follow-up permissions form for you to sign and we can go from there!<\/p>\n

Thanks everyone! I look forward to hearing from you and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
