The Cat's Literary Agent

Writer's cat knocks coffee onto keyboard. Screen fills with gibberish. Writer stares at it. Reads it twice. Changes title of Chapter 7 to match.

Editor reads the chapter: "Finally, something with real voice."

Cat gets mentioned on the dedication page. Cat knocks another mug. Writer starts taking notes.

By Thursday, the cat has a literary agent.

Agent calls: "Your client's new piece β€” stunning. Raw. Visceral."

Writer, from the hallway: "That was the vet bill on the scanner."

Agent: "We're pitching it to Penguin."
