Portland Cat Owners Christopher Stauffer

Lately there has been a terrible epidemic in Portland, Oregon. There has been a trend of cat naming that continues to grow. Have you ever met a cat named Cleocatra, or Purrman Meowville. These cat-pun names are not only "keeping Portland weird" but making Christopher Stauffer ask what happens if these cat-pun owners start enter the professional veterinarian fields. This book records Christopher's difficulty with Portland "cat-pun naming cat owners". Taken from his 2014 Farm2Table Comedy Showcase, this book addresses in a poetic form the addressing of cat-pun naming, and what the eventual end looks like if we don't get a grip. Geoffrey Neill adapted Christophers bit into a poem, and Crystal Neill's clear illustrations bring it to life.
