BIO:
One of Kat McCarthy's earliest memories is reading Dr. Seuss to her cat Dusty, her dog Sam, and her teddy bear Mama.
Ever since that tea party, her life has been filled with animals and stories. Fascinated by how animals experience the world, she has spent her life trying to understand what they notice, how they communicate, and the stories they live.
When she couldn't find a novel that let her experience the world the way a cat does, she wrote The Wild Side of the Wall. She continues exploring feline behavior at TheCatsTale.com.
