A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston. When you’ve got a bad case of the ‘mews’ and are in desperate need of a ‘pup’-lifting read, this book is the ‘ulti-mutt’ remedy. The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between.

Please don’t think me lazy,
I’m not trying to slack –
it’s just that I’m stuck, you see,
under this cat.

Let Sleeping Cats Lie is a collection of poems following the funny lives of our furry – and not so furry – friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an ‘octopussy’ cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies.
