Publisher Description
The diary of a cat during the zombie apocalypse is more than just naps and wet food reviews.
When the Slow Walkers showed up, Clutch the Calico had no idea her humans would be so bad at not getting eaten. From power outages to shopping trips, saving Greg and his six-year-old daughter from the undead quickly turned into a full time job. But if Clutch doesn't want to lose her supply of Furrtastic Feast and cuddles, she'll do whatever it takes to keep her humans safe.
For the Cat Lovers and the reluctant readers, if you like Cat Memes, The Walking Dead, or Diary of a Wimpy Kid, you'll love the off kilter, sarcastic, and a little bit cute adventures of Zombies Don't Eat Catnip!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Told via laugh-out-loud diary entries written by Clutch the Calico cat, Burkett (Taffy's Tales: Adventures in Costa Rica) chronicles Clutch's quest to keep her "inefficient" humans alive amid a zombie infestation. When Slow Walkers, who Clutch initially refers to as "pickled humans," invade her town, the previously indoor-outdoor cat and her white human family—six-year-old Ella Mimsy and her father, Greg—are forced to live in quarantine. Suffering from cabin fever and missing her neighborhood cat friends, Clutch laments her seemingly long-gone freedom as she devours her dwindling cache of Furrtastic Feast meals. Power outages and food scarcity, however, occasionally necessitate that the Mimsys leave their safe haven, and Clutch—ever their stalwart protector—endeavors to keep her family safe as they await hopefully imminent rescue. Burkett's grayscale spot illustrations depict Clutch's shenanigans, including her lazily swiping a vase off a shelf to incapacitate a Slow Walker pursuing Ella. Beyond her rough and tough exterior, Clutch is a compassionate cat capable of finding humor (evidenced by comedic chapter titles such as "Twenty Cans of Tuna Is Hardly Enough for an Apocalypse") even in world-ending circumstances. Ages 8–12. (Self-published)
