What Kind of Cat Is YOUR Human??? Quiz Book Giveaway!

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss?  Do you know what kind of cat YOU are?



KATIE:  What, you mean?  Besides beautiful, smart, talented, witty...

WAFFLES:  No Boss, like in this new cat quiz book that Glogirly got about disco coverings for your inner feline.

KATIE:  DISCO COVERINGS???  Waffles, I think you mean 'DISCOVERING your inner feline.' *sigh*



WAFFLES:  Yeah that.

KATIE:  Waffles, the quiz book is for HUMANS who want to discover their inner feline. It's called, What Cat Are You? Discovering Your Inner Feline.



WAFFLES:  So how does it work? Did Glogirly take the test? Did she pass? Is she a cat too? What kind is she? Does she get to wear ears?

KATIE:  Whoa, Waffles...slow down. This isn't a pass/fail kind of thing. 

WAFFLES:  So if she screws up she's not a dog or anything right?



KATIE:  Do you SEE what I have to live with???


How the Book Works
There are three fun quizzes with about 16 multiple choice and yes/no questions in each. 
They all focus on a different set of personal attributes:
1. Pizazz (...your personality)
2. Purr-fect Image (...your best features)
3. Finicky Ways (...home life and habits)


Sample Question:
Say you're home alone for the afternoon,
do you...

A:  Notice how bland the living room is & immediately rearrange it.
B:  Call friend after friend to find someone that will chat.
C:  Clean the DVR off.
D:  Grab a blanket, get cozy and doze off.

KATIE:  Well I think we know how Glogirly answered THAT one!


Scoring & Results
Each answer is worth a certain amount of points.  Once your human adds everything up, they turn to a section called Pick of the Litter to find their score total AND the breed of cat they most closely resemble.

Maybe they're like a Maine Coone. Maybe a Norweigan Forest Cat. Maybe even a Meezer!


What Kind of Cat is Glogirly?
Glogirly took the quiz a bunch of times and each time she was a different cat. First she was an Egyptian Mau, then a Scottish Fold. It's like she had a case of Multiple Purrsonality Syndrome. Just like, dare I say... Waffles???


WAFFLES:  Reeeeeallly???  Glogirly is just like ME????


For Your Human
What Cat Are You? Discovering Your Inner Feline is a clever and fun book that will have you looking at yourself and the world around you through the eyes of a cat. ...just don't get any wild ideas about your cat's litter box.

Meet the Authors

LORI LEBDA
The challenges of 'potty training' her dog, Buddy, inspired Lori to write What Dog Are You? Discovering Your Inner Pooch. That book kicked off the I Am A What? Quiz Book series and led her to Tami Bergeson, her co-writer. Where Lori's math skills were lacking (for the point system in the quiz books), Tami was a guru. They soon wrote wrote What Cat Are You? Discovering Your Inner Feline and continue adding more quiz books and additional titles to their series. 

Lori lives in a tiny Iowa town (population 1,000) with her husband and has two grown children.




TAMI BERGESON
Tami has been a cat lover since birth. Big, small, domestic, wild, all breeds & personalities. She usually has a tribe of animals (yes, mainly cats) at all times. 

Tami rediscovered her love of writing when her co-author, Lori, asked her to collaborate on the fantastically funny, What Dog Are You? The duo worked so well together, they came out with several more quiz books and are now debuting in the young adult world with their new series The Sinclair Saga - Crypt of Souls. 

Tami lives deep in the country on a 50 acre piece of heaven with her husband, whom she's known since they were 10 years old. They share their home with their two college kids and an ever changing menagerie of animals.






FTC Disclosure: We received a copy of What Cat Are You? Discovering Your Inner Feline at no charge from the authors.

Whiskerslist The Kitty Classifieds: Book Review & Create-Your-Own Hilarious Listings


WAFFLES:  Um, hi everybuddy. The Boss just got this really cool book. She says I'm not allowed to read it yet. But I think she's pulling my paw.

KATIE: Leg, Waffles. Pulling your LEG. And you're right. I don't want you reading that book.



WAFFLES:  Why not, Boss? Does it have secrets and stuff?

KATIE:  As a matter of fact, yes. Now get your nose out of there. That book is MINE and I don't want you stealing any ideas from it.

Our funnygirl-friend, Angie Bailey, of Catladyland fame just released her newest book, Whiskerslist The Kitty Classifieds. She sent ME (not Waffles) an advance copy so I could purrsonally tell her what I thought of it. But first, let me tell you a little about it.

Whiskerslist is a compilation of over 160 craigslist-style classifieds written by cats for cats. Cats seeking cats, lost toy postings, classes, for sale/trade, list goes on.


Some of my Favorite Whiskerslist Headlines:
  • On-site paper shredders needed.
  • I chew cords for you.
  • Participants needed for timed, "flash mob-style" leg climbing
  • !!CHAT WITH LIVE CATS NOW!!
  • Lot of toy mice for sale. Varying conditions. Must take all.
  • Neutered seeking spayed.
  • Anger management group looking for new members.
  • If you like tuña coladas.


Glogirly says it's one of the most hilarious parodies she's ever seen or read. But *I* say it's much, much more.  In fact I've been studying it, using it as a research tool, as I plan my OWN kitty classified ad.

Now THIS is really cool. You can go to Whiskerslist.com and create your very OWN kitty classified listing. Just enter your headline, a brief description of what/who you are trying to sell/trade, etc... upload a picture and congratulations...you've got a kitty classified.

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! What kind of ad are you going to write? Are you gonna sell some of your old toys?

KATIE:  Yeah, that's it, Waffles. I'm going to sell some old toys. You know, nothing I'd actually miss or anything.


KATIE:  There we go. Just hit SUBMIT and wait for the rush of emails.


WAFFLES:  Um, Boss???



FROM GLOGIRLY:  You know we LOVE to laugh... and Whiskerslist has us in stitches! It's funny, it's clever and in the moment. It will have you & your kitties dreaming up endless possibilities.

Be SURE to check out Whiskerlist.com to create your own kitty classifieds. It's a super-fun, easy-peasy and giggles all-around.
