Let Sleeping Cats Lie - Pet Poems cover

A very funny collection of pet poems from master wordsmith Brian Bilston

A funny collection of pet poems from bestselling poet, Costa Prize-shortlisted novelist and Twitter Poet Laureate, Brian Bilston.

A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston. When you've got a bad case of the 'mews' and are in desperate need of a 'pup'-lifting read, this book is the 'ulti-mutt' remedy. The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between.

Please don’t think me lazy,
I’m not trying to slack –
it’s just that I’m stuck, you see,
under this cat.


Let Sleeping Cats Lie is a collection of poems following the funny lives of our furry – and not so furry – friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies.

'This selection of pet poems (including caterpillars, elephants and a lot
more in between) is affectionate, quirky, funny, and ageless.'
