My most heartfelt thanks to my partner Hannah Shaw, who has been my number-one advocate, our permanent cats and revolving door of rescue kittens who have provided innumerable hours of entertainment, love, and opportunities for photos, my family for being ridiculously supportive of this weird and wonderful journey of mine, my agent Lindsay Edgecombe, my editor Jordana Tusman, my designer Ashley Todd, and everyone at Running Press who believed in this bizarre project, and lastly, all of the incredible cats and cat parents I met while making this book.
