“I love the tongue-out expressions on the cat and the octopus, and the exes for eyes, and the circles for the suckers, on the octopus. Logan is so great about getting those little details exactly right.”

That’s always the goal, right? Well, that’s our goal with this family project—that turned into a book, that we hope will turn into a way to give back to Rock n’ Rescue and North Shore Animal League America. These two wonderful organizations helped bring us three of our cats, Beans, Gala, and Brimley (RIP)—which really means they brought tremendous love, light, and laughter to our lives. And for that, we will be forever grateful.

So for every copy of Kitties Don’t Eat Quesadillas sold (in hardback, paperback, and as an ebook), we will donate 25 percent of profits to Rock n’ Rescue, and 25 percent of profits to North Shore Animal League America (in case you were wondering, the rest will go into Logan’s college fund).

We have been so overwhelmed with the love and support—especially from the cat community—over Kitties Don’t Eat Quesadillas. The intention was never to publish the book, but just to make a few copies for friends and family. But once we posted about how proud Logan was of the book on social media, people started telling us things like:

“I’m a preschool teacher, and I would love to read this to my class.”

“I have the pickiest eater on the planet and she would be so happy reading this.”

“This book needs to be published, and I’ll take three copies!”

“I don’t even have any kids in my life, but I want to read this.”

So, we decided, why not? It’s been a pretty heavy learning curve. But we’re so thrilled that you want to read our work, and can’t wait to bring it to you!
