The KATacombs

By Kathy Enriquez

My cat runs half of this publication. Follow for her stories and historical facts! I'm here to sprinkle in WWE reviews and other random shit. For now, I'm taking a break from writing fiction on here. Loves: Video games, anime, soundtracks, metal, horror

I so enjoy these clever feline perspectives in verse. and bites of cat lore: like how cats view cooking and hunting. Kathy's new book, What if Cats Wrote Haikus! is available on amazon: these short haiku moments are definitely written by a cat. Don't miss October's gruesomely spooky The Goblin Camp, plus lots of other fun and funny offerings!
