I haven’t blogged pets with my stuff for a bit, so excuse the deluge of adorability. All of these animals, I should add, are completely terrific. They are, from top to bottom and left to right:

Isaac P.R. and John Marshall’s pup Grammer (named after Camille, natch); Ariel Rasmussen’s fetching Russian Blue, Tabby; Abbey Lynch’s uncle’s mini-schnauzer, Jerry (Jerry!); Jenny Martin’s laughing bandana girl Audrey; Jedi, who belongs to Gabe Durham (an amazing author whose book you should pre-order!); Ronald Faulkner’s blonde pup Erie; Charlotte and Eric White’s tuckered-out Tucker; Maddy Boesen’s fan of eating magic markers and Ikea packagaing, Rue; Danielle McGurran’s family’s seeing-impaired angel, Bella; and supermodel of the year/cat most likely to make Emma Stone think really long and hard about whether she’s even pretty, PomPom—a stunning cat who belongs to Madeline Stano.

Thanks to the pets and their peoples for sending these life-affirming photos. What is the point of making things if you can’t collect pictures of animals standing next to them? Precisely nothing.

 I have been UNACCEPTABLY REMISS in blogging photos of people’s pets with my book or listening to my podcast. Therefore, here is a beautiful post featuring…*drumroll*

  • Sherri Locker’s pal Henrietta the Mini Bull Terrier!
  • Katie Hannon’s cute calico Izzy!
  • John Sperandeo’s handsome tortie Charlie!
  • Heather Scholz’s revolutionary kitty Che!
  • Peter Schaus’s sister’s cats, Brittany & Maddy, rolling around like madwomen!
  • April in NYC’s wiener dog Dixie!
  • Cliff Schwartz’s earbud-tolerant cat Fiona!
  • Carla, who belongs, along with her camera-shy sister Bianca, to Meghan Kaminski!
  • Lynn Burkhead’s #JimmyJazz doppelganger, 8-ball!
  • And finally, Vanessa Lynch’s beautiful pooch Rockett.

I hope these pets are half as loved as I was tickled to look at these pix of them reading my book and listening to HWYW. Or pretending to. Either one counts.

Which of these cats is the best cat? Note: THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION, EACH OF THEM IS THE GREATEST CAT.

(L-R) Klazina Crawford’s new kitten, Jezebel, Rae Melo’s Tuxedo sprawler Nico & Paul Sweedlund’s manly ginger Gomez.
