You’ll notice here from his expression that he’s peeved, and has erected an upper body blockage on the final pass line edits of THE ABC’S OF KISSING BOYS. But if you ask him, it's with good reason...
--While I was writing the first draft, he often napped on my lap. He’d wake to play or snuggle, and I suppose it’s possible at some point I told him the title of the book would be THE ABC’S OF KISSING KITTIES. Could have happened.
--Unlike TOP TEN USES FOR AN UNWORN PROM DRESS, which features a guy named Rascal, this book falls short. Oh, there’s Tristan and Kyle and Luke and Clayton...but Rascal? Uh, no.
So, being the rightful head of the household, he has enforced a STOP WORK order until these two things are remedied. Or appropriate amounts of shrimp and buttered toast (I kid you not) are delivered.
I’m thinking the food stuffs might be easier to pull off than a late-date title and character change, but what also might work is a compliment or two about his good looks or character from the Internet world. Anyone care to help coax His Majesty off my pages? (I’ve got a deadline, people!)

LOL about Rascal's work stoppage. He's too adorable for words. = )
Hi,
He sure is one cute kitty! Tell him you'll use him in your next book.

I'm not really a cat person (oops, you'd better not tell him that) but he is gorgeous!!!
Maybe point out to him that the book will sell more copies with the current title and that more sales = more shrimp and buttered toast.
LOL! Tina, I love it! My how Rascal has grown, too!
You guys are too funny. Thank you.
And TLC, while you may not be a cat person, I think you may have hit him where he lives with that shrimp/toast comment...
THE ABCs OF KISSING KITTIES:
All Kitties like being kissed,
But not all Kitties admit it, because
Cats like to play hard to get.
Awww, Rascal!!!
Beautiful Rascal!!!
Cute, cuddly Rascal!!!
Let the line edits go.....

Cara, you are darling! Rascal and I both appreciate your "poem." And is it possible you're a cat lover, too???
Definitely, Tina! I have two kittens at the moment, though my love poetry to them often runs along the lines of, "aw, you have the cutest fattest tummy ever!"
Though that's not exactly what I said this morning to the kitten who climbed into the fireplace... :-)
Cara
Rascal,
You are definitely leading man material, even though you make me sneeze!
Steph, a little bird told me you had a problem with a mouse...my leading man could definitely step up to take care of business there! =)
OMG! My Harper is in love. After seeing your handsome kitty she started browsing Expedia for a cheap fare to LA.
:)

Why didn't we think of this before? Rascal + Harper! =)
Oh My Goodness... Rascal looks exactly like my little man of the house. Only she is a tad tinier. Is he a siamese too? That might explain the buttered toast thing, both of my siamese kitties love any type of bread with loads of butter on it. ;)

Really, Rachel, your cats are into buttered bread, too? Rascal was born to a stray so we don't know his pedigree, per se, but I think he's at least part Balinese.
