This Playful Cat

By Sophia Marshall

This Playful Cat is 106-page book of poetry about my cat, Wallace. Wallace was a stray, found in a pet shelter in Rockport, Maine, and these are my reflections on loving him and becoming his owner. Many of the poems are humorous, some are philosophical, but they are all deep, and honest, demonstrations of my love for animals.
