Cher Maître, je pourrais me faire les griffes dessus

The voice feels so authentic and playful, making me wonder if Francesco Marciuliano has a cat of his own or if he just observes them closely.

Some lines made me laugh out loud because they felt so true to life. Are there specific cats or behaviors that inspired particular poems?

The artwork adds so much personality to each piece. I'm curious whether the illustrations were created after the poems or in tandem with the writing process.
